Fireblocks CEO talks bitcoin mining, price outlook, and AI

The highly anticipated bitcoin (BTC-USD) halving took place on Friday, a process in which the reward for Bitcoin miners is reduced by half. Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the implications of this event for bitcoin miners.
Shaulov notes that bitcoin mining activity is continuing, with many miners "investing" in the belief that they will be compensated due to the halving event. He explains that there are two primary sources of rewards for Bitcoin miners: "solving a puzzle... that secures the Bitcoin network" and navigating the fees that users are willing to pay for Bitcoin transactions.
When asked about the potential integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Bitcoin mining, Shaulov states that given the current Bitcoin prices, "this is still quite profitable for miners." He does not believe that AI poses "a hedge" for Bitcoin miners at the moment.
As regulatory frameworks become more robust and Bitcoin ETFs continue to gain traction, Shaulov anticipates the investor base could expand and drive prices upward across the cryptocurrency landscape.

You can't really run NFT projects on the BTC blockchain. RUNE will drive up fees and slow down the network.

!!My outlook on money changed when I realized someone making $300,000 can retire broke & someone making $80,000 can retire a multi-millionaire.. With the current market movement, you have $100,000 to invest. Where are you investing it?

Money advice varies, but planning is key. Exposed to personal finance early, I started working at 19, bought my first home at 28, faced job loss at 36 during COVID. Consulting a CFP helped grow my finances. Currently, I'm 25% short of my $5m goal..

[@user-kq8il1hr1e]

That is just amazing! Could you please tell me about your Certified Financial Planner (CFP)? This year, I'm considering some financial changes..

[@IgorAseev-mb5ro]

Yes, Andras Bohm made headlines in 2020, but I'm not sure if I can bring him up in this context. he manages my portfolio and acts as a counselor for me.

I've seen positive reviews on his web, he appears to be well-educated and well-read. its always good to share important things such as this that can change someone's life forever..

I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family

[@Reynold-Kelly]

Yeah, since meeting expert Evelyn, I now agree that with an expert managing your portfolio, the rate of profit high, with less risk.

[@Reynold-Kelly]
