Joe Burnett: Your Wealth Is Melting in the Age of AI | SLP788
Joe Burnett, VP of Bitcoin Strategy at Strive, argues that wealth stored in dollars, gold, houses and even mega-cap stocks is melting: technology can produce more of those things, so they lose value when measured in bitcoin. He says AI speeds that process up by destroying moats, and that after the moats are gone, bitcoin is what's left. Stephan and Joe also talk through whether a portfolio that is up in dollars can still leave you poorer, why Joe thinks Bitcoin's power law could break if fiat credit keeps expanding, and whether treasury companies and digital credit such as Strive's SATA and SATS take demand away from bitcoin itself.
