Why I'm betting on AI, not memecoins (unlike Trump)

In mid-January, Trump launched two meme coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA. In February, Javier Milei, president of Argentina, got in on the action and promoted a meme coin on Solana called $LIBRA.

(Don’t worry, I’m not about to shell you some crypto.)

Being quite the nerd, I read about these memecoins on launch. New tech fascinates me, but I’d rather have rubber lemons in my eyes than buy these memecoins.

For the uninitiated, meme coins have no intrinsic value. They’re supposed to be collectibles that represent a cultural moment. In reality, 99% are scams–no matter who’s behind them.

The $TRUMP and $MELANIA team cashed in biggly with a tidy profit of over $100 million. A few insider traders cashed a small fortune, too, by the meme coins to retail on launch.

The hype around memecoins sputtered out this month and crashed the entire crypto market. Most small traders and retail investors are in the red on Trump’s memecoins. Meanwhile, $Libra is now worthless.

I stumbled across a viral video of one alarmingly jacked crypto trader smashing his computer monitor with a baseball bat on a live stream, all because he lost a million dollars on this pump and dump. Why he put that much money into a memcoin is beyond me.

That’s the problem with jumping on the latest trend. By the time you hear about it online, the moment is over.

Conversely, AI is far from a fad, trend, or pump and dump. ChatGPT launched in 2022 and has over 600 million weekly active users.

This week, founder Sam Altman launched its most humanlike mode to date: GPT 4.5. Meanwhile, Claude rolled out Sonnet 3.7 a few days ago. I spent this week geeking out on Sonnet, and with the right prompt, it produced content above and beyond anything I’ve previously paid writers for.

Unlike most pump and dump meme coins, AI tools are here to stay. I’ve remodelled my entire business around them. A few content creators I follow are taking the same approach.

If you want to do the same, my private newsletter PromptWritingStudio is open until tonight. With the AI systems I share in PromptWritingStudio, you can:

• Set up Claude and ChatGPT without losing your voice
• Finally master the art content repurposing for social media
• Get access to my private prompt library
• Create multiple formats from a single idea without additional effort

I’m closing the beta on Sunday evening. When I open it up again, the price will increase. Oh, and if you join now, you’ll also get early access to my new memcoin to $bryan (just kidding).
