Jordi Visser, Head of AI Macro Nexus Research at 22v and a former managing director at Morgan Stanley, believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will become a key catalyst to help bitcoin reach its true potential. As agentic AI becomes pervasive in money networks, bitcoin can become a neutral platform for financial transactions, as other fiat platforms become inherently insecure due to AI’s relentless snooping.
AI Agents Will Prefer Bitcoin's Neutral Rails
Visser predicts that as AI agents and their implementation in apps that intermediate transactions and payments rise, bitcoin can play a pivotal role as the next neutral infrastructure to host all this activity. He stressed that “in a world where agents are participating in economic activity alongside humans, Bitcoin’s network could become even more powerful because it offers a neutral, global, liquid rail that both people and machines can recognize.”
Claude's Mythos Model Exposes Vulnerabilities
Recent reports about Claude’s latest AI model, codenamed Mythos, seem to confirm that next-generation agents will become security entities able to poke holes and leverage vulnerabilities in these systems, choosing different rails to move value for the same reason. This aligns with Visser's thesis that AI agents will systematically avoid fiat systems that can be easily monitored and seized.
Bitcoin Doesn't Need a New Story
Visser concludes that AI, in conjunction with other factors, will accelerate the adoption of bitcoin due to the relative strength of its security proposal compared to other alternatives that can be seized instantly using these new tech entities. He stressed: “Bitcoin doesn’t need a new story. It needs the world to enter the conditions it was built for,” predicting that bitcoin will be the best-performing asset of 2026.
