As Ai does more of the work, we won’t have to. Prices over time (in Bitcoin terms) fall in direct proportion to the work removed. We will compete with everyone to provide more value which will drive the process faster - reducing prices (in Bitcoin) faster, decentralizing faster, breaking all monopolies - including the AI monopolies of today (growing in power and influence because of broken money), large government, and structures arising from them today. Giving us more agency, freedom and abundance with each step.

Or - we will give our energy to and measure from….. a system that coerces, controls, and centralizes by stealing that all of that from you - with everything getting worse from within that system.

The systems are incompatible together. One must consume the other and every single person is making the decision about which one with their time and energy.

The jobs will be gone anyways. The question is have we transferred all of our power to a control system that gives rise to a type of totalitarian control (that you mention) before they do……or break that control structure by building onto bitcoin and ensuring its decentralizing and security.

Hope that helps.
