    Has Bitcoin Bottomed? Jordi Visser on AI, Inflation, and Moats

    Has Bitcoin already bottomed, or are investors still looking at the wrong signals? Jordi Visser joins Bankless to argue that AI is destroying software moats, reshaping inflation, and pushing capital toward scarce assets, with Bitcoin at the center of that shift. We get into his “AI is the new QE” thesis, the scarcity-versus-abundance portfolio, why the S&P may struggle in an AI regime, what a more muted Bitcoin cycle looks like, and where he still sees upside across the rest of crypto. --- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🔮POLYMARKET | #1 PREDICTION MARKET https://bankless.cc/polymarket-podcast 🟦 COINBASE ONE | GET 20% OFF https://bankless.cc/coinbase-one 🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW https://go.metamask.io/BL-Pod-Download 🌐BRIX | EMERGING MARKET YIELD https://bankless.cc/brix 💰NEXO | YIELD + CREDIT LINE https://bankless.cc/nexo 🧭OKX | TRADE, EARN, PAY https://app.okx.com/join/USBANKLESS --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 2:07 Jordi’s bold Bitcoin call 4:18 The AI endgame lands at Bitcoin 9:26 Bitcoin as the purest AI trade 12:49 SaaSpocalypse, quantum fear, and the private credit risk 20:49 AI is the new QE 26:55 Inflation, deflation, and the scarcity squeeze 34:28 What happens to stocks from here 44:24 Is AI a bubble? 48:17 The Bitcoin IPO and muted cycles 1:01:01 Has Bitcoin already bottomed? 1:09:03 The broken social pact 1:13:21 The rest of crypto, from ETH to stablecoins 1:17:29 Inside the scarcity portfolio 1:20:42 Jensen vs. Dwarkesh, China, and the chip war 1:27:42 Jordi’s AI stack and where to follow his work --- RESOURCES Jordi Visser https://x.com/jvisserlabs Jordi’s Substack https://substack.com/@visserlabs --- Not financial or tax advice.

    Markets are hitting new highs, but crypto just took a major hit. Ryan and David break down the $300M KelpDAO exploit and why it exposed deeper flaws across DeFi and Layer 2s, including Arbitrum’s controversial decision to freeze funds. They also explore whether AI will drive deflation or inequality, unpack a new bullish ETH thesis, and debate why the biggest risks in crypto may be building beneath the surface. --- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🔮POLYMARKET | #1 PREDICTION MARKET https://bankless.cc/polymarket-podcast  🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW https://go.metamask.io/BL-Pod-Download  🌐BRIX | EMERGING MARKET YIELD https://bankless.cc/brix  🧭OKX | TRADE, EARN, PAY https://bankless.cc/OKX 💰NEXO | YIELD + CREDIT LINE https://bankless.cc/nexo 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS https://thedefireport.io/bankless --- TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 1:57 Markets Still Bullish? https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/2047282771664453641 https://thewolfden.substack.com/p/strategy-owns-more-btc-than-blackrock https://x.com/SecScottBessent/status/2046703137541837285 https://polymarket.com/event/us-x-iran-permanent-peace-deal-by/?via=bankless? https://x.com/danielisdizzy/status/2047037188500554010  https://x.com/MikeZaccardi/status/2045855067710914995 https://polymarket.com/event/kevin-warsh-confirmed-as-fed-chair-by-may-15/?via=bankless? https://polymarket.com/event/fed-rate-cut-by-629/?via=bankless? https://x.com/ylecun/status/2045610129119117574 https://x.com/pdmsero/status/2046943519101661561 https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2045675498529808886 https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2046071375446606125 27:32 KelpDAO $300M Exploit & DeFi Fallout https://www.galaxy.com/insights/research/kelpdao-layerzero-exploit-defi https://defillama.com/protocol/aave-v3 https://x.com/LayerZero_Core/status/2046081551574983137 https://x.com/0xdoug/status/2045988844718453186 https://x.com/arbitrum/status/2046435443680346189 http://l2beat.com/scaling/projects/arbitrum https://x.com/TheCryptoNexus/status/2046569510442787209 https://x.com/0xfluid/status/2046971208550486244 https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/spark https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/aave 50:26 Productive Money ETH Thesis https://thewolfden.substack.com/p/the-250k-eth-thesis-sounds-great 55:28 Prediction Markets & Perps Expansion & Tether $344M Freeze https://x.com/polymarket/status/2046653304810156283/?via=bankless? https://polymarket.com/perps/?via=bankless? https://x.com/aaronjmars/status/2047017251270734309 https://polymarket.com/event/highest-temperature-in-paris-on-april-23-2026/?via=bankless? https://tether.io/news/tether-supports-freeze-of-more-than-344-million-in-usdt-in-coordination-with-ofac-and-u-s-law-enforcement 1:00:11 MegaETH & New Chain Activity https://x.com/bread_/status/2047336293462589788 https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monad 1:01:52 Device-Level KYC / Surveillance State https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/2044491861125996617 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/2045232433197695392 1:06:58 Closing & Disclaimers --- Not financial or tax advice.

    Ethereum may be one of the most underappreciated assets. In this conversation, Michael McGuiness and Vivek Raman lay out the case for ETH as “productive money”, a monetary asset with the store-of-value properties of gold and Bitcoin, plus the ability to compound through network activity. We unpack the $250K ETH thesis, why traditional DCF models miss the bigger picture, and why Ethereum’s role as the settlement layer for a tokenized economy could unlock massive monetary premium. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ 🔮POLYMARKET | #1 PREDICTION MARKET https://bankless.cc/polymarket-podcast  🪐GALAXYONE | SOLANA STAKING https://bankless.cc/GalaxyOne 🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW https://go.metamask.io/BL-Pod-Download  💰NEXO | YIELD + CREDIT LINE https://bankless.cc/nexo 🧭OKX | TRADE, EARN, PAY https://bankless.cc/OKX 🌐BRIX | EMERGING MARKET YIELD https://bankless.cc/brix  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 4:45 $250K ETH? 6:04 How to Price ETH 8:15 ETH’s Monetary Premium 10:25 What Differentiates ETH 13:54 The Path to $250K ETH 16:35 Menger’s Monetary Attributes 20:28 Scarcity 24:58 Fungibility 26:43 Divisibility 27:45 Portability 28:28 Durability 34:30 Verifiability 35:27 Censorship Resistance 37:00 ETH is Productive Money 41:39 How is ETH Productive? 46:40 Ethereum’s Tollbooth 51:28 Counterparty Risk 53:48 Productive Money vs Dead Capital 58:03 Pitching Productive Money to Wall Street 1:00:08 Why is ETH Underappreciated? 1:04:19 Wall Street ETH Investors 1:11:28 Other L1s 1:14:06 Why Not Just Buy the S&P? 1:15:00 Ethereum Technical Risks 1:17:20 How Does ETH Get to $250K? 1:23:18 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES ETH is Productive Money https://www.productivemoney.org/  Michael McGuiness https://x.com/mikemcg0  Vivek Raman https://x.com/VivekVentures  Etherealize https://www.etherealize.com/  ------ Not financial or tax advice.
