In a recent video, Luke Gromen said he sold Bitcoin because AI and automation is driving exponential deflation, citing Jeff Booth. His view is that unless we get “nuclear” levels of money printing, Bitcoin goes down. The implied trade is to buy back after a crash, once policymakers respond and the printing starts.

Personally, I get the framework, but it feels a little too cute—trying to time both the deflationary shock and the exact moment the monetary regime flips.

Luke is a good friend and I love his work. I wouldn’t want to try timing this transition from a fiat system but to each their own.

Nobody asked me anything, but I see Luke as an honest person. Nothing I have seen from him has made me think otherwise.

If it was not Luke, I would not know that David Rogers Webb existed. So, thanks Luke! However, I don’t think he REALLY understands Bitcoin. Luke sees Bitcoin as an asset, and that is why he is trying to time the market.

“Divide and conquer” is an age-old tactic. But it could be “unite and conquer”. So, we should not be angry or disappointed with people who don’t agree with us. Instead we should be patient. I have huge problems with that myself.
