Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya warns bitcoin bulls face challenges as speculative money moves to prediction and equity markets, while mining energy shifts towards AI computing. Bitcoin's hashrate dropped 7.9% recently, prompting a difficulty cut as miners pursue AI deals. Prediction markets price only a 10% chance of bitcoin hitting $100,000 by end of 2026. Coinbase CEO counters that mining energy shifts don't directly affect bitcoin's price, highlighting automatic network adjustments. The situation's future depends on whether these trends are temporary or structural.
