Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to concerns that miners shifting to AI threaten Bitcoin by explaining that Bitcoin's built-in difficulty adjustment keeps block production steady regardless of hash power changes. After a recent 7.9% drop in hashrate, the network difficulty fell 5%, making mining easier and stabilizing miner revenue. Armstrong argues that while mining power affects network operation, it does not determine Bitcoin's price, which is influenced by other factors. He also maintains a bullish outlook, having called $60,000 the bottom in June, though many investors remain skeptical. The upcoming difficulty adjustment will indicate if the miner exodus is stabilizing.
