Will AI Make Bitcoin More Valuable Than Ever?
TL;DR
Jordi Visser argues that AI-driven deflation will crush abundant digital assets (like Big Tech software) while dramatically increasing the value of scarce assets like Bitcoin, which he views as the ultimate hedge against technological abundance rather than just inflation.
🤖 AI, Deflation, and the Scarcity Premium 3 insights
Abundance destroys value in the AI era
Visser believes AI creates massive deflationary pressure on anything that can be digitized or coded, making abundant assets (software, Big Tech) dangerous to hold while scarce physical assets (energy, copper, Bitcoin) become the only reliable stores of value.
Bitcoin as pure scarcity in a world of AI abundance
Unlike tech stocks that face 'cannibalization by AI' and loss of moats, Bitcoin's scarcity is enforced by belief and mathematical limits. Visser states, 'You want to be long scarcity because abundance is a dangerous thing for code.'
The energy-currency connection
Following Elon Musk's framework that 'energy is the currency of the future,' Visser notes that AI and all innovation ultimately depend on energy constraints, positioning Bitcoin—which he describes as 'energy'—as the foundational asset for the coming decade.
👥 Generational Adoption and Market Psychology 2 insights
Young investors ignore Bitcoin until they need it
While Gen Z currently favors high-risk meme coins and gambling-style trades over Bitcoin, Visser argues this is temporary; the 'store of value' mentality only develops with age, children, and accumulated wealth, meaning adoption will come as they mature.
Bitcoin finds you, not the other way around
Echoing Michael Saylor, Visser suggests that current disinterest from 18-year-olds is irrelevant because Bitcoin adoption is problem-driven—people only seek it when they experience wealth preservation needs, typically in their 30s and beyond.
📈 Market Rotation and Technical Outlook 3 insights
Mag 7 underperformance signals regime change
Data shows the Magnificent 7 is down 1.5% year-to-date while Bitcoin has outperformed by 10% in just two weeks, suggesting capital is already rotating from AI-vulnerable tech giants toward scarce assets and small-cap stocks.
Key technical levels define the trend
Visser identifies $92,000 as critical support for Bitcoin; a sustained break below $90,000 would signal further downside, but current price action showing higher highs and resilience during regulatory news suggests a bottom is in place.
Deflation risks shift the investment landscape
With Truflation at 1.55% (well below the government's 2.7% figure), Visser warns that deflationary pressures will force money to flee levered fiat assets and seek refuge in commodities and Bitcoin, driving a 50-60% rally in small caps relative to the S&P 500.
Bottom Line
Investors should short 'abundance' (software, Big Tech, digitizable assets) and go long 'scarcity' (Bitcoin, commodities, energy) as AI-driven deflation destroys the value of anything that can be infinitely replicated while concentrating capital in physically constrained assets.

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.
