Peter Schiff has argued that the rise of artificial intelligence is not a bullish development for Bitcoin, pushing back against attempts to link the cryptocurrency to the booming AI sector.

In an Aug. 23 post on X, Schiff said Bitcoin advocates were trying to associate the asset with AI in the hope that investors would treat Bitcoin as part of the broader AI investment theme.

“Bitcoin pumpers are trying to hitch Bitcoin to the AI wagon, hoping investors will see it as part of the AI trade,” Schiff wrote. “They have it backwards. AI isn’t bullish for Bitcoin; it’s a threat to it.”

First, he believes the two sectors are competing for speculative investment capital. AI has become one of the biggest themes in financial markets. He also pointed to competition for electricity and data-center infrastructure.

The most significant part of his argument, however, concerns Bitcoin’s security. Schiff believes advanced systems could potentially identify weaknesses in Bitcoin’s software or cryptographic infrastructure that have not been discovered by humans.

“Plus, as AI becomes more powerful, it could discover vulnerabilities in Bitcoin’s code, cryptography, wallets, or network that humans have missed,” Schiff wrote.
