There’s only one monetary system & value transmission network that solves the digital “trust” problem in the age of AI
It’s either the world adopts #bitcoin or the humanity rapidly devolves in to a digital panopticon
Discussion
The episode I am trying to get finished for Ai Unchained is literally about exactly this and why.
The problems are actually going to be here way sooner than you might think too. The open internet literally may not work at all in the age of Ai as a dominant UI and form of navigation. #Lightning may not be a “nice to have,” but a “need to have” in short order.
It’s terrifying to think what the world can become without Bitcoin’s open permissionless monetary network being adopted globally
They would try it at the software level first
#Bitcoin protects you from whatever AI might bring in two ways:
1. The bitcoin network is the only unhackable computer network. AI is limited by the hashing power its general purpose harware substrate could muster to try and attack it. However smart AI may become, ASICs will always be better at protecting bitcoin.
2. The long-term growth in bitcoin's purchasing power will offset whatever skillset currently valued in the labor market AI might make obsolete.
Lessons: Stack sats, run a node, practice good OpSec.
