At midnight, I finished reading that famous shareholder letter. A 19.9% annualized return over 60 years, from a textile workshop to a trillion-dollar empire—it's a story rich enough to be legendary. But the moment I closed the document, a question flashed through my mind: how long can the entire valuation system built on financial statement audits, credit ratings, and centralized endorsements last in an era where AI can generate data at will and on-chain information flows across domains?
Thinking carefully, Buffett's core ability is a skill: recognizing true value. He reads financial reports, examines management, and assesses moats—this methodology is effective because the information is relatively trustworthy, and institutional endorsements are reliable. But now? We have entered a new world where content can be generated anywhere, data flows instantly worldwide, and assets transfer across chains. Those reference systems that once helped us judge "real or bubble" are starting to wobble.
This reminds me of the recently studied oracle track, especially projects attempting to establish on-chain data verification mechanisms. Many see oracles as technical accessories, but the deeper you look, the more you realize they are reconstructing the "truth layer" for the digital age. Building a verifiable, tamper-proof, real-time updating data infrastructure with code and decentralized networks—that is essentially the underlying logic of future value discovery.
The value of governance tokens like AT ultimately hinges on "producing and verifying trustworthy data." In an era flooded with information but scarce in trust, this is truly a rare commodity.

Warren Buffett's methods are already outdated. In this intense information warfare, who still trusts financial reports?
Oracles are the real infrastructure; data is the moat of the new era.
Generative AI is everywhere, but on-chain data is trustworthy; otherwise, how can we play?
This article is well-written and hits the point... but can AT really become something?
Wait, what do you mean by trustworthy data? On-chain data can also be manipulated, right?
The logic is indeed sound, but who guarantees that the oracle itself isn't fake? Isn't that still a trust issue?

Buffett's logic really needs to be revised now, with AI everywhere and all data being fake—who would believe it?
Oracles have indeed been underestimated; someone needs to rebuild trust at the foundational level.
The traditional financial statement auditing approach is almost outdated; decentralized verification might be the way out.
In an age of information explosion, the biggest risk is being unable to distinguish truth from falsehood—that's the real gold mine.
The story of a textile factory growing into a trillion-dollar empire is timeless, but the underlying information system definitely needs a revolution.
If on-chain data verification really becomes a thing, the entire valuation logic will change.
So, who will be the new Buffett of the era, capable of recognizing the true value on the chain?
But to be honest, human nature still fundamentally relies on trust, whether centralized or decentralized.
With content flooding everywhere, does it make real data even more valuable?

Buffett's methods are already outdated. When AI generates financial reports, how do we evaluate them? Oracles are the future's lifeblood; trustworthy data is what truly matters.
