Bits + Bips: Could Blackrock Someday Feel Compelled to 'Fire' Bitcoin Core Devs?

The podcast analyzes the recent market crash, potential causes, and future implications for crypto and related sectors. It explores whether the sell-off stemmed from a large IBIT holder blowing up, a broader risk-off environment, or market structure instability. The discussion covers the impact of quantum computing risks on Bitcoin's long-term viability, the shift from retail to institutional investment, and the bleak mood surrounding token launches. Nic Carter suggests Bitcoin devs' inaction on quantum risks could lead to a corporate takeover. The panel also examines the AI sector, questioning OpenAI's valuation and the sustainability of data center investments, while highlighting the increasing value of tangible assets.
