#Bitcoin is digital scarcity.

#AI is digital abundance.

It's not hard to see how and why they are the most important digital technologies today and in the near future.

The way AI will make everything easy to create will reduce the need for human labor in many fields. This seems scary for many as it could replace them and would lead to poverty and more dependency on governments in the current system. But in the bigger picture, it was always the goal of humans to reduce the need for labor in order to make life easier. We always built tools, wheels, machines, electricity, spaceships, the internet and so on. AI is just the next evolution, both in the meat world and this digital world we've built.

Bitcoin is the exact opposite. It's an anomaly in this virtual world that AI now begins to enrich with abundance. A technology that ensures that money (the unit that is supposed to represent our limited time) is, compared to everything else, not abundant. It is the discovery of digital scarcity. It is the one thing no human or AI can ever create more of.

In recent crises we have seen what it's like when money is abundant and everything else is scarce. High inflation, and everything becoming more and more miserable and people becoming poorer and poorer. With AI and Bitcoin this will be the exact opposite. Most humans today have no understanding of how powerful Bitcoin will be as a tool in this upcoming AI future.

Thanks for a well thought out post.

I agree that #bitcoin and #AI have much potential.

Unfortunately, as long as the many cling to the Fiat illusion, AI (like any of the other major technological advancements that should have made life easier), will only lead to more suffering and misery for the many and while profiting only the few.

Yes. It's tragic tho.

"In 1928, John Maynard Keynes wrote a short essay titled "Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren," which predicted that by 2028, the "standard of life" in Europe and the United States would be so improved that no one would need to worry about making money. Keynes predicted that "our grandchildren" would work about three hours a day, and even this reduced schedule would represent more labor than was actually necessary."

But Fiat happened.

One of the most poetic things about #Bitcoin is that adopting it mirrors the ease with which central bankers recently printed $6T with only a few key strokes.

Part of me knows that we will never know the extent of the capital flight that may be happening right now from the legacy financial system and into Bitcoin. If it were to be happening at scale, it would need to remain one of the most closely guarded secrets in history lest it accelerate out of control.

Another part of me just delights in imagining that it is happening and these filthy pig fucks at the helm of central banks just have to keep denying that there’s a problem since they are powerless to stop it.

This is my daily glee as I DCA out of any Fiat I earn and into Bitcoin.

"What problem?" πŸ˜…

😱 that’s nucking futz

#Bitcoin is an anomaly. Unfortunately for the incumbent system, it is an anomaly that has been left unchecked.

This is great. πŸ‘

Hopefully ae see less bullshit jobs in the BTC/AI future https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs

Great perspective sir.

I'm not sure that ai is at the point where it can derive such insight but I'm sure we could train it to think like you.

Can Ai farm? Grow food? Create shelter?

Yes. Robotics and autonomous machines are used today and will continue to improve. And here again, not saying it will fully replace human labor by tomorrow but it will boost productivity just like when tractors replaced plows.
