If you're looking for the most certain investment trend in 2026, AI applications are like real estate in 2006 — they are definitely the hottest trend of that era.

This year has already shown many signals. Recently, Meta has been very active, investing billions of dollars to acquire Manuse, officially kicking off the investment battle in the AI application field. What seems like a simple acquisition actually carries great significance — major companies are starting to heavily invest in AI applications, indicating that the moment for real commercialization has arrived.

Interestingly, Manuse was founded in 2022 by a few Chinese entrepreneurs. The fact that a startup is being acquired by a tech giant with a huge investment shows how hot the AI application track is right now. This is the rhythm of the times — good ideas, strong teams, and the right timing. In this wave of AI, entrepreneurs now have more opportunities than ever before.

2026 is very likely to be the dividing line where AI applications move from concept to large-scale commercial use. Those who have laid out early are probably already watching this line.

Back in 2006, they said the same about real estate, and look what happened... But AI this time is truly different. Speaking of which, Chinese entrepreneurs have been acquired by Meta, the pace is really fast. Wait, can it really make money? Or is this another round of cutting leeks? What’s the point of laying out in advance? Is it a bit late to enter now? Meta is investing so much money, which shows that the underlying logic is indeed working. Ugh, it's that kind of rhetoric like "2026 will definitely be like this," which is a bit annoying to hear. But on the other hand, the Chinese team is really impressive this time. Being recognized by big companies is worth bragging about.

Damn, it's another hype about AI, always claiming it's the most certain, but what’s the result? It's funny, no one knows how the real estate market in 2006 is doing now. Manuse being acquired is indeed impressive, but that doesn't mean all AI startups can turn things around. People who got on the train early should probably get off now... 2026? Bro, that's a pretty big gamble. Speaking of Chinese entrepreneurs being noticed by Meta, maybe this time really is different? Whenever someone claims "the most certain," you should be cautious. Cryptoworld has taught me that.

The real estate boom of 2006, those who didn't get on board are still regretting it. This time, AI applications really can't be ignored anymore. It's only been a few years, from an idea to being acquired by a big company for billions, Chinese teams are still able to make it happen. What does that say? Wait, is 2026 the real dividing line? Then is it a bit late to enter now... Those who planned ahead have already made a fortune, while we retail investors can only follow the trend.

The real estate market in 2006 has already been distributed now. I'm a bit convinced that AI applications are stable. Meta's move is indeed aggressive, but the question is, will it really be commercially implemented by 2026, or is it just another round of cutting leeks? The acquisition of Manuse indicates that wealthy investors are betting, but what can retail investors copy? That's the real issue. It's always "early movers," hearing this sounds like they're urging me to invest money. Forget it, I'll just wait and see. Having a good idea and a good team, what's the use? Without funding or a big company's backing, it's doomed to fail.
