Open-source AI models are rapidly changing the trajectory of AI, and threatening the economic models of American AI companies. Now, conveniently, we are being bombarded by doomsday scenarios about AI, along with calls for regulation.
In this Take, I unpack how (and why) the US AI companies are trying to use the levers of government to pull up the drawbridge on AI and protect their failing business models.

Do we need the U.S. dollar to completely collapse for Bitcoin to win?
Cory Klippsten and I explore how Bitcoin can win over the long run without requiring a dramatic dollar collapse or Weimar-style hyperinflation. We get into why true medium-of-exchange use is likely still a distant dream, how stablecoins are absorbing payments demand, the Coldcard exploit and navigating various self-custody tradeoffs, and much more.

Watching the recent back to back exploits in Bitcoin feels exhausting, and it exposes the uncomfortable truth that the skill barrier to exploiting open-source code has dropped to near zero.
But bitcoin isn’t getting hit because it’s weak, but because the payout is irreversible, making it the perfect canary in the coal mine for the rest of the internet.
Here’s my take on the changing economics of cybersecurity, and how the current turmoil is simply hardening the Bitcoin ecosystem towards becoming "impossibly secure".

Imagine sending local fiat directly to a self-custodial Lightning wallet without ever touching a custodian. Gustavo Flores actually built this out for Mexico. I talked to him about the intense technical hurdles required to make that happen in a low-trust environment. If you assume the best days of Bitcoin development are behind us, this conversation is going to shatter that assumption.

The writing is on the wall for centralized finance. I’ve watched this play out too many times, and the U.S. Treasury's latest $1B "crypto" seizure from Iran is the loudest warning sign yet.
The media calls it a Bitcoin seizure. I call it a lesson in why Tether and ETFs are just banking 2.0 with the exact same confiscation risks. True self-custody works very differently. I broke down the details of this seizure and the future of global reserves.

Is a self-proclaimed Rothbardian actually running one of the most inflationary presidencies in Argentine history?
It sounds crazy, but the data points directly to yes. We were promised a totally different approach to money, yet debt is soaring and the currency keeps diluting. The disconnect between his political rhetoric and the actual economic policy is staggering. In today's read, we take a dive into Milei's legacy so far.

The reality where you own nothing and rent everything starts with broken money. I don't buy the narrative that normal people just aren't working hard enough to own things anymore. The truth is that zero interest rates gave the ultra-wealthy a blank check to corner the market on productive assets. It's entirely structural, and it is robbing us blind.
Want to know the exact mechanics of how they use cheap debt to price you out of ownership forever? I lay it all out in Guy's Take_107.

Is the biggest threat to Bitcoin the tech, or is it us? We spend so much time worrying about quantum computers and code changes, while the real test is firstly human. Can a massive, easily divided global community actually hold the line when the world demands we break?

Blaming Jeffrey Epstein for weakening Bitcoin is the ultimate cope. I am so tired of this recycled big blocker narrative, so I finally took the time to expose it.
I went through the emails and followed the funding step by step. The reality is that there was no grand, shadowy government op to destroy Bitcoin. The fact that this conspiracy still exists is a massive red flag. Let's find out why they want you distracted by this, and what the whole picture actually shows.

Everyone is terrified that AI will eat their industry and wreck the economy. But they have the stakes all wrong.
In today's Read, I go through a brilliant A16Z piece that explains why we aren't heading for a post-human future. I followed it up with a bit of a rant on how this shift actually increases the value of human decision-making. If you are stressed about AI taking over, listen to this to flip that fear into real excitement.

"Bitcoin was born because of the internet. Without the foundation, without laying the groundwork, Bitcoin would not have been possible. It's technically feasible on a piece of paper, but it's not practically feasible without the internet to do the coordination. Which means that Bitcoin is realizing the internet's dream."

"Is it possible to do kind of the value transfer use cases that I'm talking about? Would it be possible to, implement them on top of stablecoins? or Bitcoin is the only solution? Because I think because stablecoin is a representation of fiat and because stablecoins are essentially run by centralized companies, these are going to get regulated as well. And then you'll have friction on the stablecoin level. You already have that, , in some cases. But it's going to get worse over time. And then the only competition and the only coin that can bring the permissionless, open, monetary, neutral, decentralized value proposition is Bitcoin."
