The AI Boom Is Very BULLISH For Bitcoin
TL;DR
Jordi Visser argues that parabolic moves in AI infrastructure stocks reflect a genuine supply-demand crunch driven by the shift from chat to agentic AI requiring massive compute, creating structural bullish conditions for Bitcoin, energy commodities, and data center real estate rather than a speculative bubble.
🤖 The Agentic AI Supply Crunch 3 insights
80x demand shock exhausted AI lab projections
Anthropic's Dario Amodei revealed they planned for a 10x growth outlier but experienced 80x demand when agentic AI launched, exhausting supply chains for memory and optical fiber.
Inference tokens driving parabolic infrastructure needs
The shift from chat to reasoning to action-taking AI agents created a parabolic surge in token usage, exhausting DRAM supplies (prices rising since September) and optical fiber capacity (Corning stock surging since November).
$90 trillion decade-long buildout is structural
Jensen Huang's projection implies a decade-long replacement cycle for legacy systems with AI-enabled equivalents, meaning underinvestment in data centers will persist for years rather than months.
â‚ż Bitcoin & The Compute Commodity Trade 3 insights
Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI data centers
Hut8 signed nearly a $10 billion deal to repurpose mining sites for AI compute, while other miners are using data center development to subsidize manufacturing operations.
Compute futures and tokenization driving crypto demand
Larry Fink's prediction of compute futures reflects Bitcoin miners' scarcity value; AI agents need tokens as 'food,' aligning crypto infrastructure with the guardrails and transaction speeds necessary for autonomous agent economies.
Rotation from semiconductors to hard assets
Visser is selling semiconductor positions and buying Bitcoin, gold, silver, and energy stocks, expecting inflation from supply shortages to favor power infrastructure over chip makers.
đź“Š Market Structure & Global Supply Chains 3 insights
Speed crashes replacing traditional bear markets
Modern markets experience rapid 'speed crashes' (10% corrections lasting weeks) rather than prolonged downturns because full employment prevents forced selling, allowing parabolic trends to resume after brief interruptions.
International supply concentration creating bottlenecks
Critical AI infrastructure is concentrated overseas—Samsung and SK Hynix dominate DRAM (driving Roundhill's DRAM ETF to $5B in weeks), while Siemens and Mitsubishi control gas turbines—forcing US reliance on imports.
Benchmark arbitrage fueling parabolic moves
Institutional capital is benchmarked to outdated indices, causing massive capital rotation into AI infrastructure as pension funds and RIAs chase the compute shortage trade.
Bottom Line
Position for compute and energy as the scarce commodities of the AI age—favoring Bitcoin miners with data center capacity, power infrastructure, and inflation hedges over traditional tech multiples—while recognizing that parabolic price moves reflect structural supply shortages rather than speculative excess.

I Just Revealed My Current Portfolio…
Anthony Pompliano argues that MAG 7 stocks have sold off due to overblown fears about inflation and AI infrastructure spending, creating an attractive entry point for long-term investors. He believes inflation will ease in late 2025, AI demand remains robust despite efficiency improvements, and quality businesses should be bought when they temporarily fall out of favor.
The Biggest Pivot In AI History Is Happening Right Now
Jordi Visser argues that recursive self-improvement in AI has arrived years ahead of schedule, triggered by a jailbroken Anthropic model and immediate government intervention, while Chinese open-source alternatives and algorithmic efficiency gains threaten to invalidate the hyperscalers' massive data center capex investments.
Should You Invest In SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk, Bitcoin or AI?
Jordy Visser argues that while SpaceX offers a compelling mix of current hyperscaler revenue and orbital data center optionality, the smarter investment play lies in scarce physical commodities like silver and copper, which represent the true bottlenecks to AI infrastructure expansion that spreadsheets and narrative-driven investors are currently ignoring.
Why Is Bitcoin CRASHING?!
Despite Bitcoin crashing 50% from all-time highs, Jordy Visser views this correction as a healthy decoupling from traditional markets and a generational buying opportunity, positioning Bitcoin as the essential infrastructure for an AI agent-dominated future while warning that artificial intelligence will disrupt the S&P 500's safety beyond 2030.
