What happens to Bitcoin if the AI boom starts to unwind?

In this episode of The Weekly, Alex Richardson and David Sencil break down whether money could begin moving out of AI stocks and into Bitcoin as BTC holds near $80,000.

They also examine Matt Hougan’s case for why an AI market crash could ultimately benefit Bitcoin, especially if falling markets lead to rate cuts, government support, and another wave of liquidity.

Also in this episode:

• Why “Black October” is raising concerns around AI-powered cyberattacks
• The growing debate over quantum computing and Bitcoin
• Monero vs. Zcash and the future of crypto privacy
• Why Israel is exploring blockchain amid the risk of future sanctions

Could an AI downturn become the catalyst for Bitcoin’s next major move?

Can Bitcoin come out ahead no matter what happens to the economy?

This week, Alex Richardson and David Sencil unpack Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s “choose your own ending” thesis for Bitcoin.

If AI delivers a productivity boom, scarce assets like Bitcoin could benefit. If the AI trade crashes, rate cuts, bailouts, and fresh liquidity could provide another tailwind. And even without either extreme, ETF adoption, corporate demand, and rising public debt could continue strengthening Bitcoin’s case.

Also in this episode:

• The fallout from the Ledger hardware-wallet exploit
• Whether self-custody is simply too difficult for the average user
• Richard Heart’s detention in Turkey
• Bitcoin’s quantum-computing risk
• Solana’s postponed Shanghai event
• Russia’s proposed restrictions on peer-to-peer crypto transactions

Can Bitcoin really thrive in almost any economic scenario, or is that thesis overlooking some major risks?

An $86 million Ledger attack. A bug that could have created 18 trillion XRP. And growing concerns over what AI could mean for crypto security.

This week on The Weekly, Alex Richardson and David Sencil unpack some of the biggest security stories shaking the industry.

They break down the Ledger supply-chain attack that drained at least $86 million from users, including reports of tampered devices capable of passing Ledger’s genuine check.

They also examine Ethereum researcher Justin Drake’s warning that crypto may need to prepare for “bunker mode” as AI accelerates mathematical discovery and potentially puts long-standing cryptographic assumptions under pressure.

Then, they dig into the XRP Ledger vulnerability that could have allowed an attacker to mint as much as 18 trillion XRP, how AI helped uncover the flaw, and whether a $250,000 bug bounty was enough for a vulnerability of that scale.

Plus, Alex and David look at rising Treasury yields, U.S. fiscal concerns, and whether stress in the bond market could strengthen Bitcoin’s case as an alternative to sovereign money.

More than $800 million in crypto positions were liquidated as inflation fears, rising Treasury yields, and renewed pressure from oil and energy markets hit Bitcoin and other risk assets.

In this episode, Graham Stone and David Sencil break down one of the busiest weeks across Bitcoin, macro markets, crypto security, and Wall Street’s accelerating move onchain.

They discuss why rising diesel and oil prices could add to inflation pressure, how the latest PPI and CPI data triggered heavy crypto selling, and why higher Treasury yields are creating another challenge for Bitcoin and gold.

The conversation also covers the 4,000 BTC Liquid Network exploit and the attacker’s unusual 10% “bug bounty” demand, Crypto.com’s chain rollback following the $120 million Tectonic exploit, and growing concerns around phishing, KYC, and crypto security.

Plus, Nasdaq Ventures is investing $100 million in Payward, Kraken’s parent company, as traditional finance pushes further into tokenized equities, shareholder voting, and potentially 24/7 markets.

From mass liquidations and macro pressure to major crypto exploits and Wall Street’s onchain expansion, Graham and David unpack what happened, why it matters, and what Bitcoin and crypto investors should be watching next.

Robinhood Chain is quickly becoming one of crypto’s most closely watched networks.

In this episode of Token Narratives, David Sencil and Alex Richardson unpack the rapid rise of Robinhood Chain, from record fees and memecoin speculation to tokenized stocks increasingly blurring the line between traditional markets and crypto.

They break down what’s driving activity on the network, why gas fees have surged, what its recent sequencer stall reveals, and whether Robinhood could become a major bridge between TradFi and on-chain markets.

The conversation then turns to Bitcoin, including a developing Liquid Network security incident involving roughly 4,000 BTC, the growing threat of AI-enabled exploits, and signs that Bitcoin may be starting to trade more independently from U.S. equities.

September is suddenly looking less friendly for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.

In this episode of Token Narratives, Graham Stone and David Sencil unpack the growing macro pressure on risk assets as Fed hike odds rise, Bitcoin sells off, and markets reassess what could come next from the Federal Reserve.

They also dig into Strategy’s massive Bitcoin position, now sitting at 840,000 BTC, alongside its restricted USD reserve of more than $5 billion—and what that positioning could mean if market conditions become more volatile.

From there, the conversation moves into some of the week’s more speculative narratives, including token unlocks and buybacks, Robinhood Chain activity, FOMO’s claimed surge in daily app-store users, and the return of aggressive meme-coin speculation.

Topics include:

• Fed hike odds, inflation and the September FOMC setup
• Bitcoin’s reaction to shifting rate expectations
• Strategy’s 840,000 BTC position and STRC strategy
• Token unlocks, buybacks and value-accrual models

Plus: BitMEX shuts down amid a lawsuit alleging "God access" insider trading, Bitmart winds down, and July racks up three exchange closures - the depressing grind David calls bullish bearishness.

💡 Oil surged past $117 a barrel as the Middle East conflict rattled global markets — and this time, crypto traders on Hyperliquid reacted before Wall Street even opened. Bloomberg cited a decentralized exchange in its official market analysis for what may be the first time ever.

In this episode, David Sencil and Graham Stone break down the cascading macro effects: spiking oil, delayed rate cuts, a rallying dollar, and what it all means for Bitcoin.

In this episode:• Oil at $117 — why crypto traders reacted first on Hyperliquid• Bloomberg citing a decentralized exchange for macro analysis• WTI vs. Brent spread flip — Strait of Hormuz disruptions• Arthur Hayes bull case vs. the bearish macro reality• Dollar rallying, rate cuts delayed to September• Gold vs. Bitcoin: Dubai expats can't sell their gold• AI-generated war footage and X's 90-day suspension policy (Nikita Bier)• Crypto's AI agent integration rush — blockchain-washing 2.0?• MasterCard & Google's "verifiable intent" framework

Operation Epic Fury. A coordinated US-Israel strike on Iran's leadership. Ballistic missiles across the Gulf. And Bitcoin barely moved. David Sencil and Graham Stone break down why BTC's muted reaction could signal its first true decoupling from risk assets, how TradFi traders are using Hyperliquid to price gold and oil ahead of Monday's open, what a Strait of Hormuz shutdown means for inflation and the Fed, and whether Arthur Hayes's wartime money-printing thesis ultimately makes Bitcoin the trade of the conflict. Plus: Iran mines up to 5% of global Bitcoin hash rate — what happens if that supply disappears?

This week on The Weekly, we break down one of the most shocking market events in decades.

Gold and silver lost $7 trillion in a single day, moving with volatility usually reserved for crypto. Bitcoin followed with a sharp liquidation-driven selloff, miners were forced to sell, and stablecoin liquidity continued to exit the market.

We cover:

• Why gold suddenly started trading like a risk asset
• Whether this was a healthy correction or something more structural
• What Bitcoin’s drawdown tells us about liquidity and market stress
• Stablecoin flows, miner selling, and institutional behavior
• Why Monday’s market open could define the next leg

As always, we separate narrative from liquidity — and ask what really matters next.

In Episode 93 of The Weekly, we break down the biggest crypto stories from the past two weeks, including the controversial Polymarket trade tied to Venezuela’s regime change, conflicting institutional outlooks for Bitcoin in 2026, and why BlackRock quietly became the most profitable Bitcoin ETF issuer despite weak price action.

Quantum computing is back in the Bitcoin conversation — not because it can break Bitcoin today, but because the timeline to prepare may already be shorter than many realize.
On this episode of The Weekly, Graham Stone and David Sencil break down why Bitcoin’s real vulnerability isn’t cryptography, but coordination. Upgrading Bitcoin’s security could take years, and waiting until a true quantum threat emerges may already be too late.

• Which Bitcoin addresses are most vulnerable
• The controversy around Satoshi-era coins
• Why quantum attacks may happen silently
• Coinbase’s push to become an “everything exchange”
• Prediction markets, state gambling laws, and the CFTC
• Stablecoin yield loopholes after the GENIUS Act
• Ripple’s RLUSD and its bank charter ambitions

Bitcoin just had one of its roughest weeks of 2025.
David and Graham break down the chaos — from BTC dipping below $100K and OG whales dumping, to Stream Finance’s so-called “stablecoin” meltdown and the shocking jailing of two privacy wallet developers.
They unpack how AI panic in the stock market spilled into crypto, why DeFi’s yield-bearing stablecoins are anything but stable, and what the crackdown on privacy means for builders moving forward.
