Should outperform every asset every five years until AI brings true abundance
“Bitcoin should outperform every asset on the planet. Everything.”
Expects it to outperform Bitcoin this year via tokenization and stablecoin network effects
“I believe Ethereum will outperform Bitcoin this year.”
Bitcoin's ceiling depends on whether AI makes everything free
Asked how big Bitcoin could get if AI brings infinite money printing and abundance, Jordi Visser says it's hard to say because Bitcoin's value depends on how much AI causes deflation. If everything becomes free, he argues, money stops mattering and Bitcoin "doesn't need to be any higher than it is today." Until that point, though, he expects Bitcoin to keep winning.
"What should happen up until abundance is Bitcoin should outperform every asset on the planet... over the course of every five years you should look back and be like what was the best performing asset? That was Bitcoin." — Jordi Visser
On whether Bitcoin is "too expensive" at current levels, Visser points to the convergence of the crypto and traditional-finance worlds via tokenization, stablecoins and the Bitcoin-miner/AI-compute story. He says the "digital money side" remains small relative to the digital economy dominated by the Mag 7, implying room to grow.
Visser bets on Ethereum over Bitcoin this year, and rotates into scarce commodities
Visser describes Bitcoin as akin to the S&P 500 — the amorphous end result of wealth flowing through many tokens over time — while he personally also owns Ethereum, which he believes will outperform Bitcoin this year thanks to tokenization and stablecoin network effects making it easier to value like a discounted-cash-flow stock. He flags uncertainty beyond that, noting Solana or Sui could also outperform Ethereum, though Ethereum is the only other crypto asset he currently holds.
Outside crypto, Visser says he runs a "long scarcity, short abundance" strategy: this week he rotated out of most memory stocks into silver, alongside existing positions in gold, copper, and related mining stocks and countries. He avoids SaaS software companies and hyperscalers, expecting them to be disrupted by AI, while favoring assets in scarce supply for what he calls "the next few years."
