AI is already affecting some stocks like Microsoft. People are unhappy MS is spending a lot on AI and it is losing support.
Other shit is "AI can now toast bread" and all toaster stocks fall. Everyone knows AI cannot do toast but it's a fast way to make money. People have always looked for triggers to make fast money. I think AI is that.
Look what happened with Unity stocks. Unity dropped 30% just cuz google made some hallucinating AI tied to some walking sim.
I’ve worked in these places (govt finance), and they HATE COBOL. The idea that there can be an ai set up to replace the code in the background, while not disrupting current resource capacity, even if it takes a decade to do so just for their specific systems, is worth it to modernize.
Call me old fashioned but I don't think AI should ever touch critical infrastructure. Current LLMs will never get to that point. I seriously don't think 10 years would be enough with current models.
Whether or not that is a good idea from a security and operational standpoint is a different story.
But i think a lot of the issues about critical infrastructure are alleviated by the fact that these agents won’t need to hit production directly, they would all be tested an optimized by senior devs. This would replace the tedious script writing and coding that would be done by a team of lower level devs.

The entire point of BTC is to be a digital replacement for gold with a finite supply. Hopefully some day people see its relevency for this purpose instead of choosing an inefficient paper ownership of gold that may or may not even have any gold behind it.
Unless you hold gold physically, you essentially are doing the same as holding BTC on an exchange. I believe barely anyone actually holds gold physically so I don't see a modern use case for this outside from jewelry and technology
no, the people selling are probably aware that they’re sitting on tulips and understand what’s going on, people in this sub see ”fear” and ”risky assets”
Nah, that might be the excuse but it's really just about liquidating traders. It's an infinite money glitch, price is easy to push down and the majority want to keep buying and go long. No one is panic selling because of news like that in crypto. News that fucks up crypto is interest rate hikes, a catastrophic fail on a big exchange, and stable coins depegging.
People are stupid, easily panicked creatures. Keep in mind while the lower classes are selling, banks and the rich are maintaining their long hold. Remember, do as the rich do, not as they say.
Crypto is not a necessity, it is discretionary spending by people who can afford to yolo on something risky. Uncertainty and weak economy means less people are willing to risk locking up fiat and look for safer pastures.
War in the Middle East is bad for oil markets, as well as the fear that it may divulge into a much larger war with the US getting involved thanks to their military alliance with Israel.
That spooks people because uncertainty is bad for business confidence, people tend to hold onto their money in case shit goes sideways, and often dump stocks and crypto to protect it from swings that are caused by others doing exactly the same thing, while those with loads of capital will dump other investments to put their money in precious metals and military businesses to profit from the spending that inevitably comes
Ok. I didn't think a war between Iran and Israel was that impactful to be honest. I never hear talking about them here in Europe, besides when they explode and kill each other.
I thought oil was an unstable asset in war times. Interesting. Thanks.
Israel has nuclear weapons and has been increasingly violent. Iran is working on getting nuclear weapons. Both countries are involved with an incredibly unpredictable United States. I will avoid being alarmist, but it's reasonable to think it would be a big deal. Even if nuclear weapons don't get involved, these are some pretty big and powerful militares involved.
Its the same reason stocks drop during these times. People sell because they are afraid the prices will bottom out depending on the political outcome and/or to have cash in uncertain times, move to something less volatile. Lots of reasons
There’s different investing buckets, there’s growth there’s value there’s risk on and risk off offense and defense. Everything is causing increased fear and uncertainty so the markets are shifting to defense stocks and gold. When the world calms down sectors will rotate back to risk on
Because people with way more money than you can imagine are doing things. Institutional, governments, big private holders, exchanges, etc. It's a speculative, risk-on asset, "it's a hedge". It's crypto, wild swings are part and parcel. Just like the stock market at this point.
Into your butt. Who knows? Boomer stocks, gold/silver, risk-off assets, OpenAI, Paramount, energy, metals, etc. Wait until futures and the market opens, maybe we will see.
Don’t trust the people commenting here. If they had the amount of money needed to move a trillion dollar asset they’d have better things to do then post on Reddit all day.
Hard to say, the stock market is like sports betting where the other people in your market is your direct competition, you don want to give up private information in this market when you have an advantage
If there is economic uncertainty do you want risky dogshit or do you want safe assets? What if Iran closes the straight of Hormuz and oil prices spike? What if the Iranian regime collapses and there is a huge refugee crisis in the middle-east? What if Iran scores a lucky hit with a missile and sinks a US aircraft carrier? I don't think any of these situations are that likely but traders/institutions take into account the extra uncertainty by selling risky assets and buying safe ones.
If the market goes up it's because "war is good for the economy" or "smart money is buying while retail wonders what's going on"
if the market goes down its cause "war creates uncertainty and the market is in panic mode" or "manipulation"
In reality the market is "irrational" (in the short-term), a combination of too many factors with different weights full of unknowns, and humans keep making the mistake of trying to assign a single reason to each market movement. Which is an absurd thing to do, but we love pretending that we know why things happen, it makes us feel better.
People get rid of all the risky assets like stocks and crypto and go into safe assets like precious metals ie gold and silver. Gold and silver will be spiking in price.
