To put it politically incorrectly: The beneficiaries of the Iraq War were precisely those in the crypto, as evidenced by the stabilization of Bitcoin. The war shattered all illusions of AI leading human growth, proving that all fundamentals based on fixed assets are delusional. Real estate and the notion that "AI development requires energy" are useless within the range of drones and ballistic missiles. The world is left with only two industries: military and gambling—because any investment now is simply betting that warheads won't fall on your head. Crypto is clearly the most liquid and robust of all forms of gambling; after all, nobody wants to lose their gold halfway through a bet only to have the table physically destroyed and them unable to take it with them. Yet, even today, Iran can still use Starlink.
