AI is the Yang, Bitcoin is the Yin.
AI has ~infinite room to scale, Bitcoin’s layer 1 has a fixed throughput. So as AI expands endlessly into digital and physical realms, Bitcoin anchors to a fixed supply.
AI demands exponential energy, Bitcoin takes whatever energy it can find. Thus AI is “hungry”, Bitcoin represents “acceptance.”
AI has statistical hallucinations, Bitcoin has cryptographic certainty. In this way AI generates plausible realities, Bitcoin is reality and verifies reality.
AI has ephemeral outputs, Bitcoin a perpetual ledger. Thus while AI is fluid and adaptive, Bitcoin is static and enduring.
AI serves optimization and creation, Bitcoin serves preservation and verification. Thus AI is promethean fire, Bitcoin is digital gravity.
An unchecked yang (AI) risks energy gluttony, loss of meaning and infinite fake realities. An isolated yin (Bitcoin) risks stagnation as a pure store-of-value with limited globally distributed utility. Their opposition may be completeness, and we may have found our cosmological friend!
