Yes it is. A more pure and simple way to store power
Discussion
Storing economic power means it’s a more powerful technology?
Hmmm yeah good point.
Depends how we want to measure power…
If you measure power by the ability to store and transfer economic value, then Bitcoin is more powerful.
If you measure power by the capacity to transform and control many facets of human life, AI’s reach would make it more powerful.
Oh and then you put the two together and they amplify each others power 🤯
I was purposely vague to see what people would come up with!
I think ultimately that’s the answer- they help each other.
I can’t decide either… Bitcoin as a simple protocol seems to organize the economic layer so efficiently. A set of incentives which optimizes human/machine/resource coordination. Which is extremely powerful.
And then AI is seeming like this crazy exoskeleton we’re developing which fast tracks our creative power. It organizes and gives us relevant data from the endless sea we’ve built up.
Wild times.
