AI Models Predicting Bitcoin Regimesinsight
Jackson describes how AI models running on Bitcoin market regimes provide advanced notice when switching from mixed markets to stress periods.
“The wisdom of crowds is not always correct.”
“I think the opportunity exists for companies like a Hut, and I think they do it better than most, to show to the world, because it's sort of like unproven right now, this is like the first of like a big campus that they're developing, that they can, they they're, they could be the best at this coordination game.”
“I think the real, that the biggest mistakes that I've made, like in, in constructing those kinds of names, is just being too early to a story.”
