The Bitcoin Podcast: AI + Crypto = Meh

The full crew is back (Demetrick, Dr. Corey Petty, and Jesse) for an episode that earns its title. AI plus crypto equals meh, and the guys are not pretending otherwise.The headline: Corey is selling a chunk of his crypto. And this time it is different. Every previous sell signal from him has been triggered by the market getting too frothy. This one is not. He is selling because Bitcoin is officially boring. The technology is not delivering the kind of utility that justifies sitting on a speculative asset for another cycle, and the Petty House Index is flashing (he is not buying a house, he is buying a workshop the size of one). The guys debate Hodl Plus versus loans against collateral, and whether the upside math still works when nothing exciting is shipping.From there it gets spicy. SpaceX needs exit liquidity. The AI IPO musical chairs game is in full swing. The guys break down the theory that Elon needs the SpaceX listing to succeed so he can eventually merge it with a Tesla that cannot survive on its own.Then the real fight starts. Demetrick argues AI is a weapon, the military is already three to seven years ahead of what the public sees, and every CEO with a leather jacket walks into the Pentagon before they ship. Corey pushes back hard on the logistics: the chips did not exist until recently, the power capacity did not exist, and you cannot conjure frontier models out of thin air no matter how big the black budget is. Jesse plays referee. Nobody fully agrees, and the conversation gets cut short on purpose to pick up next week.Plus: Corey's book teaser on the death of institutions, why democratized information speed means all gas no brakes, and a callback to last week's conversation with Joe about whether crypto is only ever about the trade.Drop questions in the YouTube comments or Spotify comments.
