Venice.ai founder Erik Voorhees joins "CoinDesk Spotlight" to discuss his prediction of a sovereign bond market collapse and the predominant role of bitcoin in that future. Voorhees explains why he is fundamentally against a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve, why crypto lobbying is "gross," and his thesis that cryptocurrency was actually built for AI agents.
