#夏日创作营 Many people compare AI and BTC together. But I think CZ hit the key point this time.

AI addresses productivity. BTC addresses wealth storage. AI can help companies make more money. But it can’t stop the purchasing power of money from declining.

If, in the future, they keep printing money and continuing to drive inflation, your salary may rise and corporate profits may rise, but the money itself may not necessarily be worth more.

That’s also why more and more institutions invest in AI while allocating to BTC at the same time.

They fulfill two completely different functions. One is responsible for creating wealth. The other is responsible for preserving wealth.

In fact, just look at the news from the past year. BlackRock and Fidelity keep increasing their investments in Bitcoin ETFs; more and more public companies are putting BTC on their balance sheets; and countries are also starting to study stablecoins, RWA, and asset tokenization/on-chain issuance. The direction of capital allocation is becoming clearer.

The real winners in the future may not necessarily be choosing one between AI and BTC.

After all, AI represents the future of productivity. BTC represents the future of value storage. One is responsible for making money. The other is responsible for holding on to the money earned.

I’ve always felt that over the next decade, these two main lines are likely to coexist long-term, rather than replace each other.
