Arthur Hayes argues that the AI bubble is distorting capital allocation, sucking money away from crypto. He predicts that as AI fails to meet its cost of capital and a recession triggers massive fiat money printing, capital will flood into crypto, potentially driving Bitcoin to $1 million. He also discusses the impact of oil prices and geopolitics on markets, and weighs Ether's value against Bitcoin.
