Bitcoin pumpers are trying to hitch Bitcoin to the AI wagon, hoping investors will see it as part of the AI trade. They have it backwards. AI isn’t bullish for Bitcoin; it’s a threat to it. AI competes with Bitcoin for speculative capital, electricity, and data-center infrastructure. Plus, as AI becomes more powerful, it could discover vulnerabilities in Bitcoin’s code, cryptography, wallets, or network that humans have missed. Bitcoin’s security and protocol-enforced scarcity ultimately depend on software remaining secure.
