<ul> 
 <li>Bitcoin’s recent drop is attributed to profit-taking and seasonal trends, but its future remains bullish.</li> 
 <li>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to coexist with Bitcoin, both contributing to wealth creation and protection. </li> 
</ul>  
<h2 id="bitcoin-s-market-behavior">Bitcoin’s Market Behavior</h2> 
<p>Bitcoin’s recent 2.16% drop, making it trade at $61.3K, was notable compared to its $71.9K value on 6th June. Some attribute this decline to the repayment plan of the defunct Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox. However, Alex Thorn from Galaxy Digital believes that this plan will cause less Bitcoin sell pressure than anticipated. </p> 
<p>Anthony Pompliano, host of the Pomp podcast, shared his views on CNBC Squawk Box. He stated that such volatility is expected as Bitcoin is up 40% YTD and 100% in the last year. He noted that in previous bull markets, there have been multiple drawdowns of 3% or more and the current 15% drop is within the expected bandwidth. </p> 
<h2 id="factors-influencing-bitcoin">Factors Influencing Bitcoin</h2> 
<p>Pompliano highlighted that profit-taking is inevitable when an asset rises significantly. The explosive rally at the start of the year was followed by natural profit-taking. He mentioned that many traders engage in basis trading, going long in the spot market and short in futures, which contributes to selling pressure. </p> 
<p>He also discussed the seasonal trend where many investors invest in May and then go away. This pattern is typical, with Q4 often being a big quarter, while Q2 and Q3 tend to go sideways. </p> 
<h2 id="coexistence-of-bitcoin-and-ai">Coexistence of Bitcoin and AI</h2> 
<p>Pompliano also emphasized the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a major driving force. The focus has shifted from Bitcoin and the general crypto ecosystem to AI. He believes that this shift can be seen as a common ground for both technologies to coexist. AI is expected to create enormous amounts of wealth and Bitcoin is expected to protect that wealth. </p> 
<p>Alexis Ohanian, Founder of Seven Seven Six, echoed similar sentiments, stating that the age of AI and blockchain technology are about to collide and reinforce each other. Despite Bitcoin’s current price action concerns, the future, coupled with the power of AI, could have a significant and mostly bullish impact on Bitcoin.</p>
