If prices fall to the marginal cost of production in a free market, then

1) the most advanced AI becomes free and serves you

or

2) you don’t live in a free market and that same AI will be used to control you.

If you’re measuring from Fiat (or Bitcoin priced in fiat) you’re contributing to the 2nd statement.

And from #bitcoin - the first

Looks like they’re trying to pass a bill to ban open sourced AI.

Is this how things are playing out?

The battle is softwar, as Jason Lowery describes it—playing out at different scales of resolution, perceived differently depending on one’s level of understanding and conditioning. Some see it clearly, others remain trapped in narratives designed to obscure it.

At one extreme, the deindustrialization cult Trudeau and Carney are part of pushes for total AI and energy control, rationing progress to cement a static, monopolized order. They justify it through environmental and safety concerns but ultimately seek absolute centralization.

Opposing them, the Trump-Thiel-Musk faction rejects deindustrialization but erects its own control system—a dollar-backed Bitcoin network running on hyperinflated USD stablecoins. They advocate spontaneous order, but within guardrails they define, ensuring their dominance over AI and financial rails.

Beyond both, a sovereign Bitcoin AI network emerges—operating outside the control structures. Here, Fedi and eCash mints facilitate encrypted, anonymous transactions on a Bitcoin based free banking model, AI tools remain decentralized, and individuals retain full custody of their financial and computational power.

As AI and automation make human labor increasingly expensive, the divide becomes obvious: those using sovereign Bitcoin layers and decentralized AI retain freedom, purchasing power, and agency. Those trapped in the control grids—whether under deindustrialists or corporate fiat-Bitcoiners—see their autonomy eroded, locked into systems designed to extract rather than empower.

I am consistently blown away by how many people still haven’t fully recognized that a system of credit and manipulation of money MUST centralize because it is opposition to the free market.

And even when they do realize, they continue to give their all energy to that system - thinking there is a way out, while making it stronger.

FYI - posted this because good friends (who I thought understood) just sent me a list of investments that would benefit from free AI - without having #bitcoin as the protocol repricing it all.

I’ve only recently begun wrapping my mind around the idea that AI can be controlled by a government. The only thing that will constrain AI is a real cost tied to energy. Even “free energy” technologies wouldn’t actually be free and no human being alive has the capacity to assess such costs. There really is no other way. I suspect decentralized AIs aligned with humanity will be tasked with fighting those that aren’t. Softwar wont even be a human battle at a certain point, it will be completely out of our hands and our only chance hinges on Bitcoin. The Chinese just did us all a favor, they’ve confirmed that MASSIVELY DEFLATIONARY tech cannot be stopped. There will be no moat.

In the end, Bitcoin wins and therefore humanity.

It’s inevitable.
