THE CASE FOR #BITCOIN IN AN AI-DRIVEN ECONOMY
AI is structurally deflationary.
It pushes the marginal cost of cognitive labor toward zero. Code, legal drafting, design, analysis, customer support, content. Each model improvement lowers the cost of the next unit of output. More goods and services produced with fewer human inputs. That is deflationary pressure.
The modern fiat system is built on persistent inflation. It is debt-based. Governments, corporations, and households borrow long term and repay in nominal currency. Moderate inflation makes that system easier to sustain. Persistent deflation does the opposite. It increases the real burden of debt and stresses highly leveraged balance sheets.
Central banks have spent decades trying to avoid deflation for that reason.
If AI meaningfully lowers the cost structure of large parts of the economy, that creates ongoing deflationary pressure. The policy response will be more intervention and more monetary expansion to counter it.
In a world where productive capacity expands and money supply is actively managed, rational actors look for assets with credible scarcity.
For centuries that was gold.
Today there is a natively digital alternative.
Bitcoin has a fixed terminal supply of 21 million. It is not adjustable by policymakers. More compute does not create more Bitcoin. More intelligence does not change the issuance schedule.
AI makes many things cheaper. It does not make Bitcoin cheaper to produce in aggregate, and it does not change its total supply.
If AI increases abundance while monetary authorities continue expanding supply to manage debt and prevent deflation, scarce, non-dilutable assets become more attractive.
AI --> Bitcoin. It's inevitable.
