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 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.
