The post Citadel: AI-merican exceptionalism appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AI displacement is the obvious fear, but Frank Flight at Citadel argues the more powerful US story may be formation, not destruction. America’s edge is its ability to turn new tools into new businesses before the rest of the world has finished debating the risks. The small-business sector is the key transmission channel. If AI lowers the minimum efficient scale, founders can do more with less, pool capabilities across roles, and make expansion decisions that previously did not clear the economic hurdle. The labour story is less fixed-pie than the bear case suggests. Leaner start-ups may need fewer people per company, but if AI also triggers more business formation, the volume effect can offset lower labour intensity. The real AI dividend may be diffusion. When AI-exposed roles start showing up outside their traditional home industries and in regions with lower prior exposure, it suggests the technology is

The post StarkWare CEO Proposed 4% Bitcoin Inflation Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The debate over whether Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap should be lifted has resurfaced after StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson suggested Tuesday that it should replaced with a 4% annual issuance rate. In a post to X on Tuesday, Ben-Sasson said the current 21 million cap “doesn’t make sense” because private keys are lost over time and “as time goes to infinity, all keys will be lost.” Crypto wallet hardware provider Ledger estimated in November that up to 4 million Bitcoin had been burned or permanently lost. Ben-Sasson said he still supports a hard upper bound on Bitcoin’s supply, and that a 4% annual inflation rate roughly tracks the growth of the human population.
