We thought about this opportunity (Bitcoin) because there\u2019s a lot of people who don\u2019t have access to financial markets, who don\u2019t have access to technology, who don\u2019t have a passport or a national identity. The banks basically control a lot of the access.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen we thought about the idea of Bitcoin \u2013 that you could actually move money from A to B without anybody stopping you and claiming ownership of your own assets. That was really cool. The second generation of blockchain was really about \u2013\u00a0 is there a way we can disrupt Wall Street? The power of Wall Street is actually closer to the internet. Power of Wall Street is \u2013 I decide who you are going to invest in. And I can do that in two ways. The first way I can say \u2013 you will not be listed on my exchange, or you will not be listed in my bank. You will not at all be on the marketplace because they (the Wall Street) control the marketplace. The second thing they do is they direct liquidity. And Ethereum did extremely well in basically disrupting that model,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHowever, we are not that close to what we wanted to do with Bitcoin, right?,\u201d asked <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gregaard. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe wanted to do more than that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Explore:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cWe are now standing on the precipice of something much larger than blockchain and Bitcoin\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe will be dominated by AI,\u201d said Cardano CEO.\u00a0 \u201cThe question is, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to wear the pants, or is AI going to wear the pants together with one or two people who then decide the fate of humanity and the world?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he pointed out that Gold has become even more dominant in the last week. \u201cThen we see Apple, we see Microsoft, we see a couple of companies, right? And then we see Bitcoin coming at 1.6 trillion and I would love to have Cardano up there,\u201d he added. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But when when you kind of look at that landscape, the large question is, some of those companies, they employee thousands of people, and they\u2019re going to be replaced by AI.
