AI vs. the Dollar: The Inevitable Collision of Crypto, Fiat, and Rogue Algorithms
Forget central banks—the next monetary war won’t be fought in marble halls. Autonomous AIs are already gaming crypto markets, exploiting dollar liquidity crunches, and rewriting financial rules in real-time. Here’s how the three forces will clash:
1.
The Dollar’s Last Stand
: Fed policies look downright sluggish when AI traders front-run interest rate decisions by milliseconds.
2.
Crypto’s Chaos Advantage
: Decentralized networks thrive in volatility—until algorithmic stablecoins start replicating fractional reserve banking (irony noted).
3.
The Bot Takeover
: Watch for ’black box’ hedge funds where not even the CEOs understand the trading strategies—just pray their profit motives stay aligned with humans.
One thing’s certain: when the dust settles, the winner won’t be a currency. It’ll be whoever controls the code. (And if history’s any guide, that’ll probably be a VC-backed startup with a 3-letter acronym and questionable KYC policies.)
