Visser spoke about this in a Sunday episode of entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano’s podcast. He pointed to people aged 25 and under, who face job uncertainty from AI and rising costs of living.
That fear is already driving talk of a new, more social system paid for with bigger government budgets.

“More people are angry,” Visser said. “The more money the government has to print.” He argued that as officials widen social programs, they’ll weaken the dollar by printing more bills.
“When you start bringing Waymo and driving those cars into Manhattan, I think that’s a wake‑up call,” he said. He compared it to protests when ride‑hail apps first rolled out around the world.
Visser’s view is just one side of a bigger debate. Some think banks and big funds, not angry young people, will drive Bitcoin gains. Others point to rising crypto rules, new government digital coins, and security worries as possible brakes on adoption. Regulation could slow things down as much as money printing speeds them up.
Visser paints a picture of social change powered by tech and money policy. He predicts that pressure for bigger social programs will keep growing. That, in turn, should push Bitcoin up, no matter what skeptics say. But experts warn the road won’t be smooth.
Faster or slower automation, shifting rules on crypto, and new digital currencies from central banks could all shift the outcome. In this tug of war, Bitcoin might win a bigger role—but only if it can clear those hurdles.
