At BizNews Investment Conference #2 in Hermanus, tech maverick and Africa Bitcoin Corporation chair Stafford Masie delivered a sweeping vision of the future where AI and Bitcoin converge as humanity’s twin transformative forces. Masie traced parallels between the iPhone’s 2007 disruption and today’s breakthroughs in AI and blockchain, arguing that Bitcoin is the world’s first “perfect money” – an unstoppable neutral asset poised to replace the dollar standard. He explained how Bitcoin mining is stabilising power grids and enabling AI expansion, while demographic and generational shifts will drive unprecedented adoption. From longevity breakthroughs to de-dollarisation, Masie insists Bitcoin is no longer optional for investors – it’s inevitable.
