Alex and Nic discuss rapidly improving AI models, governments’ likely safety and regulatory responses, competition between frontier labs and open source models, and how markets will evolve due to AI advancement. Alex and Nic also discuss the announcement of the Bitcoin Security Consortium and Bitcoin’s need to address quantum computing. Alex also talks with Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about markets. Participants, along with Galaxy Digital, hold a financial interest in Bitcoin (BTC). Galaxy regularly engages in buying and selling BTC, including hedging transactions, for its own proprietary accounts and on behalf of its counterparties. Galaxy also provides services to vehicles that invest in BTC.  If the value of such assets increases, those vehicles may benefit, and Galaxy’s service fees may increase accordingly. The valuation in this communication is based on technical, fundamental, and market analysis and not on any formal valuation method. For more information, please refer to Galaxy’s public filings and statements. Cryptocurrencies, including BTC, are inherently volatile and risky and ultimate market movements may not align with this statement.   For additional risks related to digital assets, please refer to the risk factors contained in filings Galaxy Digital Inc. makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, available at www.sec.gov.","meta_description":"Alex Thorn talks with Nic Carter (Castle Island) about artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and bitcoin development.
