Artificial intelligence will speed up innovation exponentially, making slow-moving public companies a poor investment vehicle in the future. Bitcoin (BTC) will be a better investment than stocks in the coming decades due to artificial intelligence speeding up innovation cycles, making public companies inefficient investment vehicles, analyst and investor Jordi Visser predicted. “If the innovation cycle is now sped up to weeks, we are in a video game where your company never hits escape velocity, and in that world, how do you invest? You don't invest, you trade,” Visser told Anthony Pompliano on Saturday. He also said: I think you want to start shorting ideas, and you want to be long beliefs,” Visser continued, adding that AI may compress what normally would have taken 100 years to accomplish in only five years.  Read more

Bitcoin is evolving from digital gold to productive capital as BTC now earns native yield, while holders maintain custody and decentralization. Opinion by: Armando Aguilar, head of capital formation and growth at TeraHash Bitcoin was treated as a purely inert asset for years: a decentralized vault, economically passive despite its fixed issuance schedule. Yet more than $7 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) already earns native, onchain yield via major protocols — that premise is breaking down.  Gold’s ~$23-trillion market cap mostly sits idle. Bitcoin, by contrast, now earns onchain, while holders keep custody. As new layers unlock returns, Bitcoin crosses a structural threshold: from merely passive to productively scarce. Read more

Bitcoin’s daily transaction fees have dropped over 80% since April 2024, raising concerns about long-term network security. BTCfi could offer a way out. Daily transaction fees on the Bitcoin network have collapsed by more than 80% since April, according to a report from Galaxy Digital. As of August 2025, nearly 15% of blocks are “free,” meaning they’re being mined with minimal or no transaction fees, just one satoshi per virtual byte or less. Lower Bitcoin (BTC) transaction fees benefit users but reduce miners’ revenue, raising concerns about the sustainability of the network’s long-term security model. Bitcoin’s incentive structure relies on miners being compensated for their work through block rewards and transaction fees. But with the April 2024 halving cutting rewards to 3.125 BTC per block, miners are leaning heavily on the fee market, and it’s drying up. Read more

Metaplanet’s stock has plunged 54% since mid-June, forcing the Tokyo-listed firm to seek alternative fundraising as its share-based “flywheel” falters. Metaplanet, the Tokyo-listed firm aggressively accumulating Bitcoin, is facing mounting pressure as its share price tumbles, threatening the fundraising model it has used to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries globally. The company’s stock has dropped 54% since mid-June, despite Bitcoin (BTC) gaining around 2% during the same period. The decline has put its capital-raising “flywheel” under stress, a mechanism dependent on rising share prices to unlock funding through MS warrants issued to Evo Fund, its key investor. With shares down sharply, exercising these warrants is no longer attractive for Evo, squeezing Metaplanet’s liquidity and slowing its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, according to a Sunday report by Bloomberg.

It can’t go any higher, right?” he added. Read more
