For some, artificial intelligence’s (AI) meteoric rise sparks excitement. And for others, it poses an existential threat. Will AI usher in an era of unprecedented prosperity and abundance?

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) are staples for investors, but potential millionaires may find small-cap altcoins intriguing.
