My
2025
Crypto
Predictions

I’m
either
going
to
look
like
a
prophet
or
an
idiot
over
these
predictions,
but
one
thing
is
for
sure:
I’m
going
to
piss
off
a
lot
of
people
with
bags.

“The
‘AI
agent’
craze
will
continue
probably
throughout
2025,”
he
wrote
in
the
post,
before
adding
that
“meme
coins
will
continue
to
lose
market
share
to
‘AI
agent’
coins.” 

He
warned,
however,
that
the
hype
around
AI
agent
coins
“will
eventually
die
off”
heading
into
2026,
warning
that
these
tokens
are
“not
the
long-term
disruption
to
watch
out
for
from
AI.”

“The
chatbots
will
become
so
ubiquitous
that
people
will
get
turned
off
by
them,”
he
added.
