Pompliano: Bitcoin and Dollars to Coexist, Weak Fiat Currencies Face Decline

Avalanche has released the latest installment of its "Proof of Thought" series, featuring prominent investor and entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, widely known as "Pomp." The discussion, titled "Bitcoin Plus Dollars," delves into Pompliano's insights on the future of digital currencies and traditional finance. The interview was published on September 23, 2025.

Pompliano articulated a nuanced perspective, stating that Bitcoin and the U.S. dollar are not in direct competition but are rather poised to both succeed. He asserted, "Used to believe that Bitcoin and dollars were going to compete against each other. And then I realized that actually they were both going to win together, and it was going to be the weak fiat currencies that lose." This view suggests a future where these two distinct financial instruments serve different but complementary roles in the global economy.

The investor, who has backed over 300 private companies, also shared his skepticism regarding certain industry narratives. He urged listeners to disregard statements prefaced with "economists say," highlighting a distrust in conventional economic prognoses within the rapidly evolving digital asset space. Pompliano also expressed disdain for "hype" within Web3, emphasizing the need for tangible utility over speculative trends.

The "Proof of Thought" series, described as a "human-centric ideas index," aims to engage Web3 thought leaders in honest dialogue, moving beyond industry buzzwords.
