Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon went on CNBC and said the quiet part loud: we are in a greed-over-fear market. He literally paused and acknowledged he was about to be quoted on it. Alphabet just pulled off an $80 billion follow-on equity deal — the largest ever — and the stock barely flinched. Anthropic is filing for an IPO. OpenAI is reportedly heading public. Capital is flying into AI faster than a FOMO-addled retail investor on a Sunday night. Global equity markets sit at roughly $150 trillion, and right now AI is the loudest kid in that room.
Meanwhile, $BTC is having what can only be described as a mid-life crisis. RWA.xyz's Emily Parker told CNBC that Bitcoin has "lost the plot" — and she's not alone. Mark Cuban, who once had enough Bitcoin energy to power a small crypto convention, is reportedly reconsidering his position. Parker's core argument lands hard: $BTC was supposed to be the middle finger to banks and governments. Now it's just... a sentiment trade. And right now, sentiment is fully swiping right on AI.
When Goldman's David Solomon is the most quoted person in a crypto conversation, $BTC might want to do some soul-searching — or at least update its narrative before the next halving.
