TD₿: Bursting the AI Bubble and What it Means for Bitcoin - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: As technology accelerates deflation, Bitcoin offers a solution to the collapsing debt-based system. With its decentralization, finite supply, and incorruptibility the Bitcoin Standard will win.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we cover the rapid advancement in technology is pushing us toward an era of deflation, which clashes with the inflationary, debt-based economic system.
Deep Seek, a side project of a Chinese hedge fund announced an AI model trained at a fraction of the cost of competitors like OpenAI, triggering panic in the markets, with major tech stocks like Nvidia seeing significant drops.
The inflationary system requires constant money printing to sustain growth, but technology-driven deflation makes goods and services cheaper, creating a conflict. Bitcoin offers a solution to this problem as the world’s only deflationary money. Its fixed supply, decentralization, and security make it immune to inflationary pressures, providing a stable store of value in times of rapid technological change.
As deflation from innovation continues to put pressure on the traditional monetary system, Bitcoin’s predictability and resilience make it an ideal asset. Bitcoin cannot be debased or disrupted, making it the most reliable form of money in the face of an unstable financial system.
