I mean, let's be honest there. This is much different than the blockchain bubble, in which 2/3 of the population is actually utilizing or interacting with AI daily.

While, yes, it's overhyped and takes up too much of the spotlight, it isn't going anywhere and is going to continue to be a staple in our lives moving forward, and will continue to increase in impact as it improves.

Blockchain will always be blockchain, and it was absolutely a bubble. Will it improve? Sure. Will it ever be as impactful to the everyday individual as AI? Maybe, but most people will not know or care. It will mostly be a passive experience.

AI will/has fundamentally changed how we work in the matter of 3 years. So, financial system jumping on board this, is much safer than jumping onboard crypto hype trains.

(I'm not saying crypto is bad / is a bad investment, but lots of crypto and ai startups are both trash, well, most startups are trash, I say that as a founder who has had many trash ideas)

I had considered doing this about 3 years ago. I purchased a 1986 Vixen 21TD (a BMW diesel powered, 5 speed motorhome, build specifically as a motorhome, and gets 30mpg).

Ultimately, my goals ended up changing. I did a bit of modifications (modern brakes, improved electrical, upgraded alternator, 300aH 12v Lithium, and more), but I ended up only doing a couple trips in it.

It was really incredible, being able to have enough space to work, traveling anytime I want without worrying about crashing at a friend's place, or paying for a hotel or being stuck in a boring part of a city where the hotel is, etc.

I did a ton of research before purchasing, and loved the fact that it was fully built from the ground up to be a motorhome, rather than how modern conversions or RVs are built. It has a full queen size bed, and a wet bath, and I could comfortably stand when the roof is up.

Alas, the home life ended up being for me.

P.S. It's for sale.
