Arthur Hayes: Retail Investors Are Doomed to Lose Against Top Institutions BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes shared his thoughts on January 8, 2026, about the impact of AI on the competitive landscape of financial markets. He stated that in the future, AI will easily outmatch retail investors in PvP games by reading and manipulating market sentiment. He believes that retail investors are destined to fail against the algorithms of top institutions, especially during gambling-like speculation driven by economic pressure. As a result, he advises the public to abandon short-term speculation and instead adopt a long-term strategy of holding cryptocurrencies. Source: Tom Bilyeu
