Ten31 Timestamp: Bitcoin Fixes the Energy Problem
About this episode
The AI revolution is accelerating faster than most people realize, but major institutions aren't accounting for it in their economic projections. While the CBO just added $1.4 trillion to this decade's deficit forecast, they completely missed the potential disruption from artificial intelligence.
In this episode:
- The viral "something big is happening" AI post and what it missed
- Why institutional adoption of AI tools faces massive inertia despite breakthrough capabilities
- How the managerial class creates friction against disruptive technologies
- CBO deficit projections ignore AI's potential economic disruption
- Private credit losses pile up as AI disrupts software companies
- Lightning Labs releases agent payment tools - the machine payable web arrives
- Why Bitcoiners can't be complacent about agent payments
