Bitcoin
Bitcoin appears in EP88 穿越量化之父西蒙斯：AI会让普通人更容易赚钱，还是更难？ as a trading asset rather than a cash-flowing investment in the episode’s Jim Simons-style framework. The episode argues that crypto markets may contain many trading opportunities because of Cryptocurrency Market Structure, but it treats Bitcoin’s long-term value as dependent on future buyers rather than on business fundamentals or cash flows. EP44 摸摸口袋，里面的钱居然是脏的？ adds that Bitcoin’s volatility can make it less attractive for some laundering chains than dollar-like instruments such as Stablecoins, even though crypto rails still create Virtual Asset AML Risk.
E43 张潇雨、孟岩对话许哲：没有更好的生活 adds Bitcoin as an Asymmetric Payoff example. Zhang Xiaoyu / 张潇雨 uses early Bitcoin to illustrate a structure with limited initial downside and very large upside, while the episode’s broader Antifragility frame still requires asking whether the payoff was genuinely priced, survivable, and not merely a hindsight story.
