just came across an interesting take on why institutions might be sleeping on bitcoin despite all the ai hype. pantera's ceo apparently has some strong thoughts on this disconnect between the ai narrative and actual crypto adoption.
the whole thing got me thinking about how the mainstream media covers crypto news. coindesk has been pretty solid on crypto coverage over the years, especially with their reporting on major industry events. they've got editorial standards and all that, which matters when you're trying to separate signal from noise in this space.
what's wild is how institutions are positioning themselves around ai but seem to be missing or underestimating the bitcoin play. like, you'd think with all the institutional money flowing around, they'd have a clearer strategy here.
if you're following crypto news closely, this is worth reading. the institutional angle on bitcoin adoption is becoming increasingly important as we see more traditional finance players entering the space. definitely worth understanding where the gaps are in their thinking.
