Bitcoin maximalists say the brutal price crash is just a temporary liquidity crunch caused by the AI boom
Bitcoin maximalists say the recent slump is mainly a liquidity rotation, not a loss of faith in bitcoin. BTC has fallen sharply, hovering below $60,000 after heavy weekly and monthly losses, while U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs logged billions in outflows. Maxis argue speculative capital has shifted into AI and tech, where valuations, IPO hopes, and massive infrastructure spending have جذب investor attention. Mati Greenspan and Michael Saylor frame this as capital moving out of crypto and into AI, calling it a temporary squeeze rather than bitcoin impairment. Others, including Jameson Lopp and Jason Fernandes, say the drop is broader: high rates, inflation, macro uncertainty, ETF redemptions, and weaker market sentiment all matter. Some still view the decline as a potential accumulation zone, but even supporters warn that if AI enthusiasm fades, bitcoin could face another wave of selling.
