Title: DeepSeek Effect for Cryptocurrency
Post by: kai on February 01, 2025, 03:51:22 AM

It seems like this is bad news about AI technology when it is present because I think DeepSeek is also an AI based in China, I learned about DeepSeek from Wikipedia.
https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepSeek
Then in my country news , there are many reports that DeepSeek actually caused losses to a company, namely NVDIA. Please check this source:

- https://www.cnnindonesia.com/teknologi/20250128132428-185-1192128/7-fakta-deepseek-yang-guncang-as-dan-bikin-rugi-ribuan-triliun-nvidia
- https://mediaindonesia.com/ekonomi/738770/setelah-rugi-600-miliar-akibat-deepseek-ai-saham-nvidia-mulai-berangsur-pulih
- https://money.kompas.com/read/2025/01/28/131936026/digoyang-deepseek-nvidia-catat-rekor-kerugian

As far as I know, NVDIA is very supportive of the presence of cryptocurrency because it can be hardware for cryptocurrency mining. Cmiiw
If the news about DeepSeek is negative, then the trend of AI in cryptocurrency must also be negative, what do you think about DeepSeek effect for the cryptocurrency business?

I think you misunderstood this. DeepSeek is considered to be very competitive hence why NVIDIA stock got wiped because traders believe it's overpriced, not necessarily because DeepSeek attacked the stock or something similar. If anything it's actually a positive development because they offer a better algorithm that makes AI development faster at a lower cost. I remember the CEO from DeepSeek also said they need more NVIDIA cards as a back-end to support their chat platform. CMIIW.

The DeepSeek effect has been enormous in terms of the value of having GPUs to process AI requests because you only need a little power compared to other AI requests. It has been a disruptive technology that has affected the stocks themselves. Since GPUs are also part of the cryptocurrency space, they have affected the market price. Maybe some people just rotated towards the DeepSeek phenomena and invest it or just cashed out.

You are wrong deepseek have no direct impact on the price of BTC or any other cryptocurrency. The logic you used is also not valid because most of miner don't prefer Nvidia graphics they used special dedicated graphics.

If these dedicated graphics are using Nvidia then we are talking otherwise it is not a threat or negative news for market. Deepseek is not even working at the moment.

Most of the analysis about DeepSeek comes from people with limited experience or paid articles with the aim of getting more clicks or to stir up controversy, but there is no direct link or influence between DeepSeek and cryptocurrencies. The link between DeepSeek and NVDIA comes from the extensive use of semiconductors in the artificial intelligence industry.

Nvidia lost their stock value because of the deepseek release and the only reason is the Chinese startup with 10 million funding managed to beat the performance of trillion dollar community so this raised the question affecting their stock value but the outcome is positive, they can't stop at any point cause they never know when they will be replaced which force them to keep working on the developments.

I think this is better for NVIDIA because its chips will sell better.

It has been a disruptive technology that has affected the stocks themselves. Since GPUs are also part of the cryptocurrency space, they have affected the market price. Maybe some people just rotated towards the DeepSeek phenomena and invest it or just cashed out.
Basically I also think like that because cryptocurrencies are now also launching many AI-based coins such as:

- https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sleepless-ai/
- https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aixbt/

I mean, I thought that later there would also be coins that provide tickers with the prefix "DeepSeek", such as: Bit DeepSeek, DeepSeek Tech, etc.

Btw , do you know why DeepSeek website can't acces?

I am sure that this seemingly effect of DeepSeek on cryptocurrency is more of a perception thing and this can just be a temporary one...eventually the market will forget this and just move on. What DeepSeek is bringing is making things more competitive at the least cost...and I am sure this can be a big challenge to NVIDIA and other related players in the AI industry. So what we might witness will be a big war on which AI player will eventually come out as the grand winner...and for now DeepSeek is taking the market by a storm...now how will competitors respond to this development can be something worth watching because I am sure that non-China players would not allow themselves to lose their market share.

DeepSeek has proven several things, but the most important (especially for those affected) is that hardware as expensive as Nvidia's is not necessary. This has not only caused many people to lose huge amounts of money, it has also made them think that maybe they have been cheated, when a Chinese company has outperformed that hardware for much less money. I think that gives a good new definition of "free market". Anyway I don't think DeepSeek is relevant to cryptocurrencies, just like ChatGPT wasn't, just tokens whose name ends in AI that will soon be forgotten.

I also checked that this DeepSeek website is not working:

I just visited the website (clearnet) and it works without problems. As for Tor, it's possible that DeepSeek administrators could ban certain Tor exit nodes.

I wasn't too sure of what must have been the problem here, until I had to go digging out what truly transpired. It's quite funny though, but in summary, the deepseek looks more like a threat to some companies considering the fact that it doesn't consume much energy, and it is far efficient. So the competition should be between fellow AI companies like meta and Openai, and maybe energy companies as well. And most especially NVIDIA.

But from the look of things, IMO, it doesn't have a direct connection with Bitcoin mining or whatsoever, because I strongly believe that all mining companies aren't using the NVIDIA products. Though, sentiment will definitely come at some point, because the crypto community is very good at that.

no doubt with high technology adopting by DeepSeek get more cheapest values than Chat GPT or AI but for cryptocurrency its self bring most significant bad impact first time releasing bitcoin and altcoin price drop drastically. Its real business war between US and China but always bring bad impact for cryptocurrency its self how bitcoin get decreasing and altcoin going down twice than bitcoin price down.
Seems the business war conflict between DeepSeek and AI keep going on how bitcoin touch another lower price in this week under $97k and keep continue for decreasing price.

Since Deepseek is already the reason behind a huge dump in the global market, we can see that many large American companies have faced huge losses after Deepseek launched. So I think  yes it is can be little bit cause for the recent dump maybe. All though the main news is not in my hand for this new dump. Even then I would like to think it as regular market correction.

I think this company will surpase if NVIDIA always have FUD like this from DeepSeek. Like as in cryptocurrency , every FUD always making Dump altcoins.

I'll guess , your respons for this moment is bad , right?
Same with me , after DeepSeek have bad story for NVIDIA and then Bitcoin Dumping again from 104.000 dollars to 97.000 dollars . Damnnnn!

For DeepSeek effect, cryptocurrency markets already on Red bloody condition.
Some altcoins have fallen so much that there is no guarantee they will recover in the future.
Bitcoin may recover in the future, but there are some coins that are not in a position to recover easily.

It really hurts me to see this effect because when there was bad news about DeepSeek and at that time the cryptocurrency went down in blood red.

Some altcoins have fallen so much that there is no guarantee they will recover in the future.
Did you hold Altcoins too before this DeepSeek news came out and made your portfolio go down?


Bitcoin may recover in the future, but there are some coins that are not in a position to recover easily.
Just look at Pancake coin or $CAKE, it goes down so fast and it's so hard to go up, just like Raydium or UNIswap token.

Do not know the real reason, but a few days ago I heard there was some attack on their site I don't even know if this is the real site because I just searched deekseek and this sites appears I clicked and it was not responding, I doubt if it works on tor because most of these sites use java scripts and tor browser stops them.

You should give it a try on another browser who have no restrictions on scripts. Because on my end the site opened but I was unable to register account, they have also shared what really is happening to their site by giving an alert on top. They are having large malicious attacks.

If they are really some good projects like what they advertise, they should be able to adjust to the current market conditions. I think articles comping out about negative effect of deepseek are some kind of a black propaganda because of competition but if all it took is deepseek to sink these altcoins, then that must mean they don't really have anything to offer.

Well Deepseek indeed a chinese product nothing to fear as they have open-sourced it for a reason, and yeah NVDIA's hardware was being used to mine cryptocurrency but that's not the reason that the stock of NVDIA dropped and of crypto too, the real impact done by the flow of money for example when people find Deepseek stock more attracted and beneficial they would flow their money from crypto and NVIDA to deepseek that's a valid reason.

Now the hype for deepseek is finished because it is not really that good and it's data is also limited to some month of 2023 as I tried to check the latest news and it tell we are limited to this date just like at start GPT was.

I am sure the market just overreacted to DeepSeek and because of fear of China this has become like a man-made monster that we should get away as soon as possible. As for me, DeepSeek will just be another player in the AI market and this is good because we would have a healthy competition that can challenge all players to innovate so they won't be left behind in the race. US-based players of the AI marketplace should adjust to DeepSeek and make sure they are offering a lot better option at a lower cost and a lot more open access for the users.

I'm not really an AI user myself but how much does this progress affect crypto in general? Other than improving trading bots or maybe mining algorithm/scalability I can't seem to find more use cases. If anything I see myself using this tech for other stuff like the DLSS/FSR with ML supports. Hopefully, it doesn't get too intrusive with OS asking to collect your data and so on. Feels kinda weird since there is a high chance they use their users to collect data too.

Speaking of politics, I don't think it will disappear because nobody wants to be left behind. It doesn't help that misinformation spread rapidly nowadays.

Well, actually, from my end, I’ve seen a lot of positive discussions about DeepSeek. I haven’t interacted with it much myself, but I have friends who have been exploring it. Some even say they prefer DeepSeek over ChatGPT. So no, I don’t think anything will negatively impact the AI cryptocurrency narrative.

The only thing that happened is that the official website received too many requests and the server crashed momentarily, something that sometimes happens when a service or a website becomes very popular in a short time.

You have found the keyword, propaganda. All the negative articles and opinions we can find about DeepSeek come from one of the most affected companies, Nvidia, and other North American companies. DeepSeek made Nvidia lose a lot of money, that's true, but it's also true that Nvidia's (very expensive) hardware was not necessary for AI.

Nvidia and OpenAI are the big losers, while DeepSeek and open source software are the winners in all this.

I don't think Ddeepseek will cause any damage to the crypto market, Nvidia has suffered because many GPUs were needed to run AI models before. Which Nvidia supplied. But after the arrival of deepseek, very few GPUs Power are needed to Run AI models.
This reduced Nvidia's stock. Because Deepseek is an open source project. So I think there will be no damage to the cryptocurrency due to this deepseek.

I don't think Nvidia is significantly impacted by DeepSeek, even though the NVDA stock price has dropped quite a bit since then. From a trader perspective, I think the correction is inevitable for the NVDA price chart, it rose too fast and can't keep rising indefinitely ^^

As DeepSeek AI models and approach are learned and used, more companies have invested more in AI and the demand for GPUs from Nvidia has increased. Additionally, I believe DeepSeek is the Sputnik moment in the AI race and the US will invest more in AI. They own the most powerful computing systems, learn the most data, and they can also apply the data distillation method that DeepSeek is using. The AI race has become more interesting and users will benefit.

Regarding the AI trend in the crypto market, I don't see a negative impact from DeepSeek success. The price drop of many AI tokens is completely normal in the overall market context, I don't find anything special related to the time DeepSeek gained attention and became famous.

It's not all about the technical terms of how this and that requires to run. But it's about the buzz that these tech companies and countries involved into these modern technologies. China has something to do with deepseek and NVIDIA is their main competitor for the innovation of AI. It's normal to see that investors go to something that's still new but has the potential. The only thing that it can be related to the crypto market is about the GPUs that can be used for mining altcoins. Remember on how GPUs were very limited due to the miners demand and that's how it affected the market but this time, there could still have some affection but not as big as before.

I've used both and experimented on it, and I will say that they are almost the same. The thing though when China releases it, Deepseek was on the way to challenge ChatGPT  that's why it did make a lot of waves and it did have some negative effect in the beginning as the crypto market plunges when it was released to the public.

And one advantage is that it is very cheap, so meaning maybe there will be crypto projects that might utilized it's capability on how AI is going to be integrated into crypto. That is the disruption that analyst are seeing.

Half price of Deepseek, which was half price of other USA based IAs... Now cheaper and better than OpenAI most powerful model which costs a shit ton of money. :P

DeepSeek changed from ERNIE at this time, maybe in the next 3 years it will change again to bla bla bla bot or 0000 Bot, I am sure with the update in China is very fast and allows this AI technology to also be updated very quickly.

And we don't need to wait for the next 3 years, maybe at the end of the year, they will have a new iteration that is again very cheap as compare to the US AI and that everyone can afford to used it and harness it's power.

Ah yes, China's innovation is skyrocketing very quickly. China's thinking is so impressive.
Not only in the digital industry such as AI and Cryptocurrency but in terms of construction development is also very visionary. I've seen videos on Youtube that there are tall buildings in China that have constructions that are not owned by other countries.

You can compare the price between most LLMs here: https://llmpricecheck.com/

When DeepSeek launched, it cost half of what other models from OpenAI costed and it had pretty much the same quality on its answers and capabilities. I remember migrating entirely to deepseek before it exploded on the media and started being unusable due to the high suddenly traffic. :P

In this AI business, DeepSeek's price does look cheap and I've checked it just now. So, it's natural that everyone chooses DeepSeek.
As you said, the features of DeepSeek with other OpenAI are not much different, of course this point is also very important for choosing DeepSeek.

I remember migrating entirely to deepseek before it exploded on the media and started being unusable due to the high suddenly traffic. :P
Oh how is that possible?
I thought DeepSeek would not experience traffic jams, but it turns out it's the same as other formal websites like Facebook servers that sometimes go down.

Well, because they have limited GPUs, specially because they are Chinese and the USA has put many limitations for them to adquire the necessary hardware (i.e NVIDIA cards). Running a full LLM is very very expensive, when you have thousands of people prompting their model, there isn't enough room for all of them and the service gets the famous "busy, try again" error. :P

That means AI technology also has its limitations and all technological systems in this world are not perfect, there must be shortcomings that are experienced.
I thought DeepSeek AI did not use a graphics card like NVIDIA, it turns out that almost all of these digital technology systems use computer hardware.
As far as I know, to get Bitcoin you also have to use hardware and the computer hardware makes it expensive for Bitcoin price fragments.

Hey everyone,

I was reading through this thread and really relate to the idea of sticking to a simple strategy. I recently came across a platform called Fruitifi that offers several pre-built crypto investment strategies, each with different risk levels. The idea is to choose one that fits your profile without having to analyze everything yourself.

I find the concept interesting, especially since there's also a section to learn the basics of DeFi. I’m still exploring it, so I was wondering — has anyone here tried something like this or have any thoughts on this kind of approach?

Would love to hear your feedback!

NVIDIA is not supportive of crypto currency mining as you think.

They edited their drivers to detect and throttle Ethereum mining, back in the day, because crypto miners will scalping all their GPUs at launch and cleaning out their stock.

Then they made an actual mining GPU but made it 3x more expensive.
