White House vs Big Tech: The AI Power War Comes to a Head on March 4

The Problem No One Wanted to Talk About For the past two years, the artificial intelligence boom has been celebrated almost universally — in boardrooms, on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley, and in the halls of government. Trillion-dollar market caps have been built on the promise of AI. Countries around the world have declared AI dominance a matter of national security. The race to build the biggest data centers, run the most powerful models, and win the AI arms race has consumed hundreds of billions of dollars in capital. But behind the glossy press releases and stock market rallies, an uncomfortable reality has been quietly building: the AI revolution is running on electricity, and it is running through the homes of ordinary American families. According to data referenced by the Trump administration, data centers are projected to account for approximately 12% of total US electricity use by 2028 — up from just 4% in 2018. The proliferation of AI data centers has already helped push...

Bitcoin at $66,400, Gold at $5,059: War Divides the Safe-Haven World

The Great Safe-Haven Divergence In normal financial crises, safe-haven assets move together: gold up, Treasury bonds up, Swiss franc up, Japanese yen up. Bitcoin — which crypto advocates have long positioned as 'digital gold' — should, in theory, also rise during periods of geopolitical stress. The Iran war has produced a more complicated and revealing picture. Gold surged from approximately $5,173 per ounce before the war to a peak of over $5,400 during the war's early days — then pulled back to approximately $5,059 on Monday as some investors took profits. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has bounced between $63,000 and $72,000 over the ten days of the conflict, with no clear directional trend and a current price of approximately $66,400. The divergence tells a story about how institutional investors are thinking about these two assets in a genuine geopolitical crisis. Gold's behavior is exactly what its role as the world's oldest safe-haven asset would predict. When geopoliti...

Bitcoin Holds $71,000: Two Weeks of War and Crypto Refuses to Break

The Resilience That Surprised Everyone Two weeks ago — the day before Operation Epic Fury began — Bitcoin was trading at approximately $70,000 per ounce. Sixteen days of the most intense geopolitical crisis since the 2003 Iraq War later, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $71,000. It has not gone up dramatically. It has not crashed. In the context of a war that sent oil prices up 70% at its peak, South Korea's stock market down 7% in a single day, global equities into their worst weekly performance since COVID, and the VIX to four-month highs, Bitcoin's effective lateral movement is a form of outperformance that has changed the conversation among institutional investors about the asset's role in a crisis portfolio. The path to get here was not smooth. Bitcoin touched a war low of approximately $63,000-65,000 on the conflict's most acute days — specifically during the hours when oil futures were briefly trading above $120, US equity futures were down nearly 2%, and the...
