At this year's Bitcoin conference, Vance gave a very interesting speech:

"Cryptocurrency is a right-wing technology, while artificial intelligence is a left-wing technology."
At first glance, it seems a bit arbitrary, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed interesting.
Bitcoin advocates decentralization, personal freedom, and resistance to censorship, attracting a large group of relatively conservative technological idealists;
AI tends to concentrate power, emphasize efficiency, and manage boundaries, making it naturally more favored by centralized systems.
This is certainly a rough classification, but it reveals the cultural tendencies behind the technology:
On one side is the decentralized "freedom engine," and on the other side is the centralized "power scepter."
Wans also mentioned that the next stage for Bitcoin is to become a strategic asset for the United States.
In his eyes, Bitcoin is not just a "financial innovation," but a shield against the trend of centralization in the digital age.
The divergence of this technical route is worth our long-term attention.
Especially when AI and Crypto no longer run parallel to each other, but begin to collide head-on.
The technological choices of the future may be choices of values.
