Raoul Pal: I'd choose Solana over Bitcoin

Prominent macro investor and Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal said at the Consensus 2026 conference that if forced to choose between Bitcoin and Solana (SOL), he would pick Solana. He also noted that the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) signifies a major turning point in human history, with its capabilities growing exponentially each year. In this context, Pal suggested that cryptocurrency could become the "Universal Basic Equity" of the AI era. He further predicted that within the next five years, the user base of decentralized finance (DeFi) will shift to a ratio of three AI agents for every two human users.
