BlockBeats News, January 16 — “BTC OG Insider Whale” agent Garrett Jin posted that as AI applications become increasingly mature, the scale of AI-assisted trading will rapidly grow. Ethereum's smart contracts and Layer 2 solutions provide a programmable, transparent, and secure environment for AI bots, enabling automation of trading, customer interaction, and marketing.
1. This ecosystem is highly likely to be based on Ethereum. It will mainly be built on smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and decentralized AI agents. The integration of Ethereum's DeFi and AI ecosystems highlights ETH's high-tech and growth-oriented characteristics.
2. The fusion of these two ecosystems will inevitably drive higher demand for stablecoins. Increased stablecoin activity on Ethereum directly boosts ETH valuation, similar to the relationship between oil and GDP growth.
From a broader macro perspective, artificial intelligence may drive a long-term deflationary cycle, significantly lowering global interest rates (far below 2-3%). In this environment, ETH's 3% staking yield will increasingly be seen as an attractive fixed income, a factor not yet fully reflected in ETH's price. Once this characteristic becomes apparent, more institutional capital may view ETH as a strategic reserve asset.
Therefore, ETH's valuation framework combines the dual attributes of high dividend yield and high-tech growth:
- Its high dividend yield characteristic should be accompanied by a reduction in downward volatility.
- Its high-tech growth characteristic should be accompanied by an increase in upward volatility.

Nearly 7 million Bitcoin face a quantum threat; Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin may be the first to be hit
On-chain reports show that about 6.7 million bitcoins are stored in addresses that are vulnerable to quantum computing attacks, some of which belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Google’s team warns that these bitcoins face a risk of their private keys being derived due to the use of early P2PK scripts. Experts emphasize that it is crucial to safeguard the security of these assets, and call for advances in quantum protection and the development of regulatory policies to address future threats.

CZ: Cryptocurrencies can make it through the quantum era, but Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin faces risks
When responding to the potential threats that quantum computing could pose to cryptocurrencies, CZ emphasized that there’s no need to panic. Most cryptocurrencies can defend against the threat through upgrades, but coordinating upgrades across decentralized networks is likely to spark controversy. He warned that projects that have already stopped being maintained are difficult to upgrade and may disappear, while also urging users to migrate to quantum-resistant wallets to protect their assets. In particular, for the Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto, if quantum computing matures, it may need to be locked up or destroyed to prevent attacks. Overall, he believes that cryptocurrency is generally easier to secure than to crack.
