U.S. Vice President Vance had an interesting remark at the Bitcoin conference:
You may have heard a saying:
"Cryptocurrency is essentially a conservative or right-wing technology, while artificial intelligence is essentially a left-wing or centralized technology."
I admit that this saying is somewhat of a generalization, but there is indeed some truth to it.
I have not been involved in the daily operations of tech companies for four years, ever since I entered politics.
But I’ve noticed this phenomenon:
Many smart right-wing tech talents are attracted to Bitcoin,
while many smart left-wing tech talents are engaged in AI.
This is, of course, a rough categorization, but it reveals a cultural tendency.
What I want to remind everyone is:
The outcome of AI development will inevitably affect Bitcoin;
and the fate of Bitcoin will, in turn, influence AI.
The next phase for Bitcoin is:
To become a national strategic asset for the United States over the next decade.
When it comes to cryptocurrency, the past few years have clearly demonstrated: this is a real innovation from the grassroots.
Perhaps more importantly: I see Bitcoin as a shield against the most dangerous trends of the digital age. It is a symbol and driving force of personal freedom for American citizens.
In both the public and private sectors, there is a group of elites who do not innovate but rather seize and control cutting-edge technology to manipulate others.
