Cardano Creator Just Revealed Something Big That Exposes Attacks On XRP
Crypto analyst Xaif Crypto shared Charles Hoskinson’s comments, presenting a strong perspective on Bitcoin’s long-term position in the digital asset market.
In the post, Xaif Crypto asserts that Bitcoin’s dominance is vulnerable the moment another asset surpasses it in market capitalization rankings, particularly on CoinMarketCap.
According to the tweet, Hoskinson suggested that Bitcoin’s value is largely tied to its size and widespread adoption rather than its technical capabilities. Xaif Crypto emphasized a key claim, saying that if another asset overtakes Bitcoin, its dominance could collapse.
The analyst connected this argument to XRP’s past market performance, noting that XRP overtook Ethereum in 2018 and alleging that this shift triggered immediate resistance toward Ripple. The post claims that such actions were not driven by regulatory concerns but by competition and survival within the market.

Core Argument on Bitcoin’s Value and Limitations
In the attached video, Hoskinson explains that Bitcoin maintains its value because of user perception and its large network of holders. He argues that the asset’s strength lies in collective belief rather than utility. He states that once a competing asset emerges with similar monetary properties but greater functionality, users may begin to shift away from Bitcoin.
Hoskinson adds that Bitcoin benefits from regulatory clarity, institutional participation, and acceptance by governments and central banks. However, he also points out structural limitations, particularly its inability to evolve quickly. He contrasts this with networks that have active leadership and adaptable development cultures.
He further claims that Bitcoin lacks a central figure to guide innovation, unlike Ethereum, which he notes has visible leadership. According to him, Bitcoin’s culture resists change, making it difficult to implement new features or respond to competition.

Comparison to Market Shifts and Institutional Behavior
Hoskinson draws a comparison between Bitcoin and past technology monopolies, stating that dominant players can lose their position if they fail to adapt. He references how companies with strong market control historically declined when innovation slowed.
He also discusses the growing role of decentralized finance and structured financial products. Hoskinson explains that Bitcoin can generate additional value when used on other networks that offer yield opportunities. He suggests that institutional players, such as BlackRock, are more focused on returns than ideological alignment, which could drive demand for Bitcoin-based financial products outside its native network.
Xaif Crypto’s post concludes by reinforcing the idea that XRP’s earlier rise in market rankings signaled a potential shift in the competitive landscape. The analyst presents this as evidence that market dynamics extend beyond technology and include strategic positioning among leading digital assets.

The US market narrative undergoes a "dramatic reversal": shifting from "AI-driven deflation and controllable US debt" to "AI squeezing the bond market, and Bassen unable to control long-term interest rates"
Deutsche Bank points out that the market narrative regarding the U.S. economy has shifted from "AI drives down inflation" to "AI-related bond issuance pushes up U.S. Treasury yields," but pessimism may be overdone. The bank believes that the real risks underestimated by the market are security incidents in the AI ecosystem, failed IPOs, or underwhelming revenues, which could undermine the dollar and support the bond market.

Deutsche Bank: The "fifth wave of tech stock rally" in US stocks since late July has peaked, prepare for a "V-shaped reversal"
Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
