March 2 News: Greg Cipolaro, Head of Research at crypto financial institution NYDIG, stated that if artificial intelligence impacts the labor market and economic structure, forcing global central banks to adopt more accommodative monetary policies, Bitcoin could become one of the main beneficiaries.
In his latest research report, Cipolaro pointed out that AI has the potential to become a “general-purpose technology” like electricity. Its effects on productivity, employment structure, and risk appetite may gradually influence the macro liquidity environment, which has long been a key driver of Bitcoin prices.
The report states that if AI drives economic growth alongside liquidity expansion and suppresses real interest rates, this macro environment is generally more favorable for scarce assets like Bitcoin. However, if technological advances lead to stronger economic growth and push up real yields, central banks may tighten policies, putting pressure on Bitcoin.
On the other hand, if AI causes disruptions in employment—such as faster job displacement than new job creation—governments may stabilize the economy through fiscal expansion and monetary easing. This liquidity release often boosts the attractiveness of risk assets, including Bitcoin.
The impact of AI on corporate organizational structures has already become evident. Recently, tech companies have begun integrating AI into restructuring plans. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey said that his fintech company Block is cutting about 40% of its staff due to AI transformation and expects more companies to take similar measures in the future.
Meanwhile, research firm Goldman Sachs previously reported that the widespread adoption of AI could affect about 7% of jobs in the U.S., but it could also create new employment opportunities and improve productivity.
Cipolaro believes that, based on historical experience, every major technological innovation brings short-term pain, but society ultimately chooses to integrate rather than reject it. Companies that effectively leverage AI may expand profitability, and workers who actively adapt to AI skills will gain higher value. For the crypto market, macro policy changes driven by AI could become an important variable influencing Bitcoin’s medium- to long-term trend. (Cointelegraph)

Gate News message, April 7, a well-known Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo recently responded to a post questioning that “Bitcoin consumes too much energy.” He said there are only three ways to ensure the safety of a currency’s ledger: relying on physical atoms (like gold), depending on energy consumption (like Bitcoin), and building on social/political consensus (like fiat currency). Willy Woo emphasized that energy is the only path to forging an absolute hard currency, and physical atoms are not scarce.

Charles Schwab Wealth Management Warning: Allocating 1%-3% of an investment portfolio to BTC/ETH can significantly alter the risk profile.
Gate News message: On April 7, the U.S. financial giant Charles Schwab released a research bulletin warning that even if only 1%-3% of funds are allocated to Bitcoin or Ethereum within an investment portfolio, it may significantly change the portfolio’s overall risk characteristics. The research report notes that Bitcoin and Ethereum have both historically experienced drawdowns of more than 70%, far higher than the volatility levels of stocks or bonds; therefore, even small allocations can have a noticeable impact during periods of market volatility. Charles Schwab proposed two cryptocurrency allocation approaches: one is the traditional portfolio theory method, which allocates based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation; the other is a risk-based method, which determines the share of crypto assets according to the level of risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance.
