Bitcoin vs AI: The Biggest Trade of the Decade? | Jordi Visser
The Pomp Podcast
Tokenization's Deflationary and Productivity Effects
They discuss how tokenization and AI compress costs, boost productivity, and influence Fed policy and transfer payments.
Jordi Visser is a macro investor with over 30 years of Wall Street experience. He also writes a Substack called “VisserLabs” and puts out investing YouTube videos. In this conversation we talk about why bitcoin is the purest AI trade available in the market, energy infrastructure, what is going on with the government shutdown, how interest rates, the Fed, the economy are all intertwined, and why prediction markets and tokenization are two big themes moving forward.
