Metaplanet CEO says AI era will increase Bitcoin’s scarcity value

As AI lowers the cost of producing and replicating software, content and analysis, Bitcoin’s scarcity value is likely to rise further, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Japan-based BTC accumulation company Metaplanet, said on X. Gerovich said AI is sharply reducing production and replication costs, and in a world where supply can be expanded easily, assets whose supply cannot be increased regardless of how much intelligence is applied will become more valuable. Gerovich added BTC’s 21 million supply cap is not set arbitrarily but guaranteed by network rules. Gerovich also said Japanese households have experienced a decline in currency value over a generation, adding BTC, which cannot be replicated or diluted, is the scarcest asset in an age of abundance.
