Gary Stevenson's Bitcoin prediction is spreading like wildfire: The ex-Citibank trader says crypto is finished. But while he understands markets, he's blind to technology. Traditional finance is about to learn a brutal lesson. Here's why he's completely wrong:
Gary worked as a trader at major financial institutions. His videos about economic collapse are going viral. He's made bold predictions about markets and inequality. But here's what he fundamentally misses...
For the last 80 years, financially literate people ruled the economy. Understanding complex financial models, interest rates, and market dynamics was enough. But the world is changing faster than traditional finance can keep up. Here's why technologists will dominate the next era:
The financialization of technology is happening at breakneck speed. Ethena announced plans to tokenize $100 trillion in assets. That's not a typo. We're talking about putting nearly every financial asset on the blockchain. But that's just the beginning:
AI is revolutionizing how we think about value: • Smart contracts automating trillion-dollar markets • AI systems managing risk in real-time • Blockchain creating truly scarce digital assets The old financial playbook is becoming obsolete.
Traditional traders like Gary see a system on the brink of collapse. Why? Because they're looking through an outdated lens. They understand markets, but they don't understand the technological revolution happening beneath the surface. Here's what they're missing:
The next generation of finance won't be built by traders. It will be built by: • Engineers who understand smart contracts • Developers who can harness AI • Architects who can design secure systems The skills that made great traders won't matter anymore.
Look at Bitcoin through a trader's lens: "It has no intrinsic value!" "It's too volatile!" "It's a ponzi scheme!" Now look at it through a technologist's lens:
Bitcoin is the first truly scarce digital asset. It's secured by mathematics, not governments. It can't be manipulated by central banks. And most importantly: It's survived every prediction of its death for 15 years. But here's the real kicker:
The future of finance isn't about predicting markets. It's about building systems that: • Can't be manipulated • Run 24/7 without human intervention • Give power back to individuals This is why traders consistently get crypto wrong.
Traditional finance sees a world falling apart. Technologists see a world being rebuilt. The question isn't whether Bitcoin will go to zero. The question is: Will you adapt to the technological revolution?
I've spent decades building software products. One thing I've learned: Never bet against human innovation. The future belongs to builders, not predictors. And that future is more exciting than any trader can imagine.
