Changpeng Zhao, co-founder of Binance exchange, expressed his opinion on the current confrontation between bitcoin and artificial intelligence. According to him, it is bitcoin that reliably protects investors' capital from inflation. At the same time, the shares of technology companies are showing growth, but they do not provide such protection. Zhao noted that part of the cryptocurrency capital has really shifted to the AI sector. However, softer macroeconomic data on inflation helped bitcoin rise above the $65,000 mark. Thus, the first cryptocurrency retains its fundamental value as a reliable protective asset.

At the same time, the co-founder of Binance does not at all deny the enormous importance of artificial intelligence. He says he is personally investing in the infrastructure that supports this cutting-edge technology. We are talking about modern data centers and powerful computing systems. At the same time, he continues to actively invest in the developing field of Web3. The discussion about these two areas has intensified due to the huge investments in AI companies. Analysts fear that the upcoming public stock offerings will create serious competition for capital. This may lead to a temporary outflow of liquidity from the digital asset market.

At the same time, some former bitcoin miners are starting to use their infrastructure differently. For example, TeraWulf is already looking for financing for an AI data center. This project is being implemented under a new agreement with the developer of Anthropic. Despite the strong arguments in favor of bitcoin, its price is still responding to interest rate expectations. The exchange rate of the first cryptocurrency directly depends on global liquidity in the financial markets. The choice between bitcoin and AI is not so easy for a modern investor. These areas affect the market in completely different ways, requiring a balanced approach.
