Artificial Intelligence in Decentralized Finance

If one has followed developments in the crypto verse for the past few years, they would have recognized the power of buzzwords. The simple act of adding "blockchain" to the description of a product in 2017 led to a spike in the company's valuation. Announcing an "ICO" about the same time, enabled pre-seed startups to raise sums previously accessible only to established companies with a track record of continuous delivery. Some projects went even further by combining buzzwords for maximum impact over an audience affected by a severe case of the FOMO (fear of missing out -- ed.n) virus. The irrational exuberance of the ICO craze saw projects combining blockchain with artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, Web 3, VR, and AR, fully-capitalizing on the appeal of the Fourth Industrial Revolution narrative.
