A few reasons for this:
(1) BTC shift to becoming a productive asset. As you said, “BTC is dead” “there is nothing you can do with it”. BTC very recently got self-custodial yield (@Stacks enabled this). 21Shares, Nakamoto, and other large institutions are already earning 3% BTC on BTC yield. Billions more in demand pipeline. BTC becomes a productive asset with such income (similar to SOL & ETH). You can borrow against same collateral and participate in onchain capital markets (@ZestProtocol for example is already doing this). This is new info against your current view that BTC is just passive SoV.
(2) BTC quantum and AI-threats are currently overblown. I’m aware of private work streams that will significantly reduce the market fear around Bitcoin’s quantum and AI-safety risk (this is not widely known but a big factor in my BTC price estimate).
@chamath for example cited Bitcoin’s inability to organize against quantum risk as a major reason for being bearish. I can take the other side of it because of the above mentioned private work streams. (I happen to be deep in the Bitcoin eco since 2013, so have early access to such developments.)
More evidence that AI is detrimental as a substitute for genuine human connection.

"Taken together, these findings provide initial evidence that being lonely may spur people to seek companionship through chatbots but that such use may, over time, exacerbate feelings of loneliness."
Be careful out there, friends. ❤🫶
Chatbots are like Harlow's wire monkey. A false simulacrum of human psychology that will leave you feeling inexplicably empty, angry, and unfulfilled.
NBD 🦾
The frontier of bitcoin is privacy, post-quantum, and safety from AI threats.
We’re pushing this frontier @Stacks 👊

stBTC open for new deposits.
80 BTC of additional capacity on top of almost 210 BTC already staked, first come first serve.
Deposit sBTC, receive stBTC, and earn ~2.4% in BTC every day on @Stacks.
Sex and drugs are cool but have you ever tried liquid staking your BTC and supplying it as collateral on the leading Bitcoin L2? @Stacks @StackingDao @ZestProtocol
Personal AI apps are like well-tailored suits - You can show yours to me but don't ask me to try it on. Doesn't matter how nice it is, it aint gonna fit.
What if the biggest (real) fear about Chinese or Open Source AI is that it will actually tell us the truth and expose how managed the Western Infosphere is?

Democrats wrote more than half of the 635-page CLARITY Act and secured 100+ concessions.
Then every single Democrat voted against it.
They helped write it. They negotiated it. They shaped it.
And then they all voted no.
Make it make sense.

This is a perfect example of what's wrong with America right now
Early in its history, 30-40 year olds were determining the future of the country
Now, 77 year old dinosaurs are telling you why you can't have innovation and progress
This needs to somehow be fixed asap
It is super sus that @elonmusk hot-swapped the goal of @SpaceX from preserving “human consciousness” to extending “the light of conscious” (obviously meaning via AI).
BUT here’s my hopeful coffee thought for the day - What if, at this point, the goal of furthering space infrastructure and deployment capacity, is less about delivering human-centric, Mars-bound payloads, than it is to provide a release valve for future super intelligence.
I mean, if pure matter and energy are the most interesting things for super intelligent AI, and there’s an existent pipeline for getting compute to space, perhaps eating the Earth and its inhabitants becomes the less-attractive option?
