Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, argues that Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies are losing capital to artificial intelligence stocks. Ives described the current AI boom as a once-in-a-100-year cycle that is forcing investors to make dollar-for-dollar allocation decisions between asset classes.
