I had a great time on @RobinSeyr's show talking about why AI will make every bitcoiner live like a king. Inside you'll find: - Why Intelligence Is About to Get as Cheap as Light - The $713 Billion AI Buildout Happening This Year - What the Industrial Revolution Tells Us About Holding Scarce Money - Bitcoin Isn't a Hedge Against Collapse. It's How You Capture Abundance 1. Intelligence Is Following Light's Path to Nearly Free 150 years ago, an hour of light cost about three hours of wages and was a fire hazard. Today it costs 0.7 seconds of the average wage. AI is on the same curve: metered, sold by the unit, and falling exponentially. 2. Nearly All Economic Growth Came After Cheap Electricity GDP barely moved for most of history, then went exponential after 1880 as electricity became abundant and metered. Cheap light meant 24-hour supply chains and night shifts. We're in the very early stages of the same buildout for AI, with second- and third-order effects we can't imagine yet. 3. Friction Is 7% of GDP, and AI Can Shrink It Shopping around, switching providers and missing information together cost roughly 7% of GDP. AI can take a day of comparing car insurance quotes down to minutes. The savings reach businesses first, then consumers, as long as markets stay competitive. 4. In the Industrial Revolution, Scarce Money Won Money was backed by gold and prices fell in real terms, so simply holding gold increased purchasing power. Many people deep in AI today describe their holdings the same way: gold, land and some bitcoin. 5. $713 Billion of Hyperscaler Capex in a Single Year AI infrastructure spending this year is on the scale of two Apollo programs, even after adjusting for inflation. That spending makes some people uneasy, but the payoff is consumer surplus that reaches people who never touch the tools themselves. 6. Bitcoin Is the Purest AI Trade Most people pitch Bitcoin as a hedge against government bankruptcy. I think the better story is that it's how you fully capture the abundance AI creates. The same gains get inflated away if you hold dollars. 7. How to Escape the "Permanent Underclass" Specific, repeatable skills like accounting get automated first. Generalists who stay curious across fields and can put what they want into words will direct the AIs that do the work. Plus Robin's case for measuring your wealth in months of runway.
