"You are going to be the survivors."Draper, an early backer of Tesla (TSLA), Skype, and Hotmail, said he got into Bitcoin back in 2002 when a friend’s son asked for a virtual sword in the game ‘Lineage.’ According to him, the evolution of the world towards a pixel-based economy is reaching its final stage, where Bitcoin replaces the bank-led “glass and steel” era.He described a scenario in which a loss of confidence in fiat currencies triggers a rush to convert bank deposits into Bitcoin. “Everybody runs and tries to get their money out of the banks and put it into Bitcoin,” Draper said, adding that such a shift “can be a cataclysmic event.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin Holdings Are A ‘Survival Strategy’</h2>Draper said he lost a chunk of his initial holdings in digital assets during the 2014 Mt.

According to him, holding Bitcoin has shifted from an "interesting opportunity" to a moral and fiduciary obligation.The billionaire outlined three specific tiers for his "Survival Strategy.” For families, he recommended holding at least six months of financial reserves in Bitcoin to hedge against potential currency devaluation.&nbsp;He thinks businesses should keep enough Bitcoin to cover at least a month's worth of payroll, just in case the banking system gets disrupted. And for governments, having some Bitcoin set aside could really help keep things stable when their currency is under a lot of stress. This way, they can be better prepared to handle any financial shocks that might come their way.&nbsp;Tim Draper compared a million-dollar Confederate bill his dad gave him when he was a kid to the money we use today. He said that the dollar and other kinds of money made by governments are not good investments because they lose value over time."I used to say, 'Hey, buy some Bitcoin, it's fun,'" Draper concluded.

The proposal outlines plans to establish Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, similar in concept to U.S. gold reserves. The earlier version of the bill also included provisions to acquire up to one million Bitcoin over five years using “budget-neutral strategies.”While details of the updated legislation remain limited, Begich said the revised bill would emphasize long-term holding of Bitcoin.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Macro investor Jordi Visser says Bitcoin is beginning to decouple from technology stocks, breaking a long-standing correlation that defined how institutional investors categorized the asset.</li><li>Visser argues that artificial intelligence disruption threatens the pricing power and margins of traditional software companies, while Bitcoin is one of the few digital assets that could benefit rather than be disrupted.</li><li>The macro setup is favorable for Bitcoin, and the strongest historical regime for Bitcoin comes when inflation runs above short-term yields.</li></ul>Bitcoin (BTC) may be entering its "strongest regime yet" as global markets are reshaped by a mix of artificial-intelligence&nbsp;(AI)&nbsp;disruption, growing inflation, and structural scarcity, believes Jordi Visser, a strategist with 30 years of Wall Street expertise in traditional finance and macroeconomics.In his most recent&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://visserlabs.substack.com/p/how-ai-inflation-and-scarcity-are">Substack</a>&nbsp;published on Saturday, Visser,&nbsp;the former managing director at Morgan Stanley, said that Bitcoin&nbsp;was&nbsp;starting to decouple from its long-standing association with technology equities, a change that might alter its position in portfolios. "Bitcoin has started to separate from its software correlation," he noted, as conventional technology is under increasing threat from fast improvements in AI.<h2 class="st-heading-2">AI Disruption Reshapes The Investment Landscape</h2>Visser contended that AI is no longer merely a productivity tale, but a disruptive force that affects labor, software economics, and business pricing power. As AI agents become more capable of doing sophisticated jobs ranging from coding to negotiating, the value of conventional software enterprises may suffer.However, Bitcoin stands out. Unlike other IT businesses, it is not dependent on sales, margins, or corporate demand. Instead, its value is predicated on fixed supply and digital scarcity, making it, in Visser's opinion, one of the few "code-based" assets that might gain rather than be disrupted by AI.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Macro Setup Turning Favorable</h2>The second pillar of Visser's theory is macroeconomics. He mentioned a possible move toward negative real interest rates, in which inflation exceeds short-term yields, a circumstance previously linked to positive Bitcoin performance. “The strongest regime for Bitcoin is when CPI is above short-term yields, and the Fed is on hold or easing,” Visser noted, adding that such conditions have previously driven outsized returns.He also mentioned a shifting inflation dynamic, driven not by short-term shocks, but by structural demand for physical resources such as energy, semiconductors, and infrastructure required to enable AI development.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Rise Of Scarcity Economy</h2>Visser also brought up&nbsp;concerns&nbsp;about how well existing financial institutions would hold up in the age of powerful AI, especially when it comes to cybersecurity and systemic weaknesses. He said that Bitcoin's attractiveness as a decentralized option for a low-trust environment might grow as centralized solutions become more risky.Visser remarked that the emergence of AI agents taking part in economic activities might be a major long-term driver. These systems may choose assets with high liquidity, clear regulations, and acceptability throughout the world since they can trade and distribute capital on their own. Bitcoin's current network effects, together with its limited supply and use by businesses,&nbsp;make it a possible default layer for transactions made by machines.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at $72,788, up over 0.1% over the past 24 hours.

 ‘The Strongest Regime For Bitcoin’ Is When CPI Runs Above Short-Term Yields, And A Former Wall Street Strategist Says We're Almost There
