Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape entire industries — and crypto is no exception.
On the one hand, AI can improve efficiency, trading, even security audits.
But on the other hand… what happens when large AI-driven entities begin dominating mining, node operation, or even governance decisions in DAO-based Bitcoin side projects?
The emergence of AI is both a boon and a bane- some use it as a supportive tool in improving their all-around efficiency; while others use AI in degenerative manner, taking advantage of fake pictures, etc.
I do believe that AI has the power to make everything efficient but they cannot replace the workhorse of human application and knowledge.
Could the rise of AI contradict Bitcoin’s core principle: decentralization?
Nope- the use of AI has nothing to do with decentralization.
Can it manipulate narratives and markets at scale?
I do not think so. AI has nothing to do with manipulating market narratives. Again, view AI as a supportive tool in aiding humans to make everything more convenient and efficient.
Could we eventually see AI-designed chains trying to “out-Bitcoin” Bitcoin?.
I also do not think so.
Bitcoin is unique in its own way and I really doubt that there will be an altcoin that can outperform bitcoin by applying AI technologies. Bitcoin will always be the progenitor- the mother and birth of all cryptocurrencies.
Would love to hear thoughts — does AI pose a real threat to Bitcoin’s future, or is it just another tool we’ll adapt to like everything else?
Nope. Rather than a threat, it will be more of an advantage to the development of altcoins that will ultimately contribute to the success of cryptocurrencies as a whole.
