The AI Boom Is EXACTLY Why Bitcoin Exists | Jordi Visser
The Pomp Podcast
Interpreting the weak jobs report
Jordi breaks down healthcare distortions, AI-driven job disruption, and inflation risks from rising gas.
Jordi Visser is a veteran macro investor with 30+ years of experience and the author of the VisserLabs Substack. In this conversation, we unpack the chaos hitting markets in 2026—from weak jobs data and Fed uncertainty to private credit cracks, AI-driven disruption, and the collapse of old economic playbooks. We also discuss software repricing, energy infrastructure, synthetic media, portfolio positioning, and why Jordi believes bitcoin is the truest AI trade in a world moving faster than ever.
