Star draws comparisons between crypto and mainstream sectors:
- Automotive industry ("造车圈")
- Mobile tech ("手机圈")
- Live streaming ("直播圈")
"Crypto & AI will rank among the most promising commercial technologies of this decade," Star asserts, emphasizing that reputation building starts with each professional's conduct.
