Nothing against NEAR - i wish them the best. But I don't see how anyone can confidently say that it's "leading blockchain for ai"
Everyone's pointing to NEAR intents, which is doing cross-chain transaction routing. That doesn't have anything to do with AI.
Sure, the hope is that ai agents will use this one day for transacting, but again, all that means is you're building a L1??

i think near flips bittensor for good by month end

The current crypto market is in a crucial transitional phase. After months of correction, Bitcoin has recently rebounded slightly and retested a key support level it had previously breached. However, overall, the market recovery remains fragile, and the trend remains vulnerable. Accumulating macroeconomic pressures, weakening liquidity, and approaching key policy events are causing a shift in market pricing logic. Entering April, while there are seasonally stronger expectations, historical performance has been highly divergent, suggesting that market movements are more likely to be driven by liquidity, positioning, and macroeconomic catalysts, rather than simple cyclical repetition.
