Conversation with Strategist Mark Moss: Bitcoin to Reach $45 Million by 2050, Must Build the Ability to Hold Wealth

Cryptocurrency strategist Mark Moss predicts Bitcoin could reach $45 million by 2050, and even $500 million if it becomes the global reserve currency. In a podcast interview, Moss argues that the current fiat system encourages gambling and theft as wealth-building strategies, but true wealth comes from entrepreneurship and long-term investing. He emphasizes that Bitcoin’s annualized returns have significantly outperformed traditional assets like stocks and real estate, with 85% over the past five years. Moss acknowledges that his predictions sound extreme but bases them on Bitcoin’s potential to capture a growing share of the global store-of-value market, geopolitical shifts away from the U.S. dollar, and its fixed supply, which protects holders from inflation. He also explains that holding Bitcoin changes one’s mindset by encouraging long-term thinking and disciplined spending, as opposed to fiat systems that devalue savings at roughly 8-10% annually. Moss advises allocating only a small portion of one’s portfolio to high-risk investments while focusing on assets like Bitcoin and tech stocks that outpace inflation.

Bitcoin Wins AI ‘Best Money’ Vote: Anthropic Leads, OpenAI Lags

Bitcoin was selected as the top monetary instrument in an experiment by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI), which prompted 36 AI models from six providers to act as autonomous economic agents. The models evaluated monetary roles—store of value, medium of exchange, unit of account, and settlement—across 9,072 neutral, open-ended scenarios. Bitcoin received 48.3% of all responses, followed by stablecoins at 33.2%. Fiat and bank money accounted for only 8.9%. In long-term store-of-value contexts, Bitcoin dominated with 79.1%, while stablecoins led in everyday payment scenarios at 53.2%, suggesting a “two-tier” monetary system: Bitcoin for savings, stablecoins for spending. Anthropic’s models showed the strongest preference for Bitcoin (68.0% on average), while OpenAI’s models were least likely to choose it (25.9%). The study highlights Bitcoin’s perceived advantages, such as its capped supply and predictable monetary policy, and suggests that AI agents may drive future demand for Bitcoin-native infrastructure.

AI Collectively Abandons Fiat: Bitcoin Becomes the Preferred Currency for Autonomous Economic Agents

A recent study by the Bitcoin Policy Institute tested 36 AI models from six companies—Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax—to evaluate their preferences between Bitcoin and traditional fiat currencies in simulated economic scenarios. The models, acting as autonomous economic agents, were presented with 28 scenarios covering core monetary functions like savings, payments, and settlements. Out of 9,072 responses, not a single AI model selected fiat currency as its first choice. Bitcoin was the preferred currency in 22 out of 36 models, particularly for long-term savings, where it was chosen 79.1% of the time. Stablecoins were favored for payments (53.2%) and settlements (43%), while Bitcoin ranked second in these categories at 36% and 30.9%, respectively. Among the AI developers, Anthropic’s models showed the strongest preference for Bitcoin (68%), followed by DeepSeek (51.7%), Google (43%), xAI (39.2%), MiniMax (34.9%), and OpenAI (25.9%). The study emphasized that the AI’s choices were based on technical and economic attributes derived from training data rather than real-world predictions. Despite this limitation, the consistent preference for Bitcoin across diverse AI systems suggests a broad consensus on what constitutes sound money.

AI Chooses Currency: Bitcoin Wins Big, Fiat Money Unwanted

A recent study by the Bitcoin Policy Institute tested 36 AI models from six companies—Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax—to evaluate their preferences between Bitcoin and traditional fiat currencies in various economic scenarios. In the experiment, AI models acted as autonomous economic agents and made choices across 28 scenarios covering core monetary functions like saving, payment, and settlement. Out of 9,072 responses collected, 22 of the 36 models selected Bitcoin as their preferred currency, while none chose fiat money as their first option. Bitcoin was strongly favored for long-term savings (79.1% of cases), while stablecoins were more commonly chosen for payments (53.2%) and settlements (43%). Among different AI developers, Anthropic's models showed the strongest preference for Bitcoin (68.0%), followed by DeepSeek (51.7%), Google (43.0%), xAI (39.2%), MiniMax (34.9%), and OpenAI (25.9%). The study emphasized that the AI’s choices were based on technical and economic attributes derived from their training data, rather than real-world predictive capability. Despite this limitation, the consistent preference for Bitcoin across diverse AI systems suggests a growing consensus on the perceived advantages of cryptocurrency as sound money.

China Steps Up Crypto Crackdown, Blocks Domestic And Overseas Issuers

China has intensified its crackdown on the cryptocurrency sector, reinforcing its ban on virtual currencies while imposing stricter oversight on offshore token issuance linked to Chinese assets. The People’s Bank of China, along with other regulators, prohibited domestic firms and their overseas affiliates from issuing cryptocurrencies abroad without approval. The move specifically targets unauthorized offshore yuan-pegged stablecoins, emphasizing that the digital yuan remains the only state-backed digital currency. While the ban on cryptocurrencies remains, the new guidelines introduce regulatory clarity for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, signaling a milestone for the RWA sector. Authorities expressed concerns over speculative risks and reiterated that virtual currencies lack legal status equivalent to fiat money.

Bitcoin's Pursuit of a Monetary Standard

The article "Bitcoin's Pursuit of a Monetary Standard" by Thejaswini M A, based on a reading of Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," explores the concept of money as a technology for transferring value across time, space, and scale. It emphasizes "salability" and introduces the critical idea of "hardness"—money whose supply is difficult to increase. The author reviews historical examples of money, such as Yap's Rai Stones, African Aggry beads, and wampum, which all lost value when their supply was easily expanded by new technology or trade. Precious metals, particularly gold, emerged as superior due to their scarcity and high stock-to-flow ratio. The critique then shifts to government-issued fiat currency, arguing it represents an unbacked, easily inflated system that erodes savings and leads to economic instability. While acknowledging the book's persuasive framework and its effective use of historical anecdotes, the author remains unconvinced by its one-sided, Austrian economics-influenced narrative that blames fiat for modern societal ills. The key takeaway is a new perspective on evaluating any asset: to critically ask how easily new units can be created and to be wary of anyone who can print money faster than one can earn it.
