Or what will the biggest difference be?

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can elaborate on where we are and where we are going particularly wrt these thoughs:

Has NOSTR won?
will bitcoin payments be ubiquitous?
has it absorbed ai?
does social media die?

25 years from now robots will rule the earth and the few humans left wil be hiding in caves that robots do not care about. The internet to them will be smoke signals. But hey, that's just like my opinion man.

people always overestimate the future, so i think it will be a bit like today, with bitcoiners being the new elite class and the the average pleb living on ubi and paying a monthly subscription for a ChatGPT cum receptilce

Not sure but suspect Bitcoin might still be around. Not sure if the west and 'liberal western democracies' and the USD petrodollar hegemony will survive. There might still be pockets of freethinkers and freedom hiding out but the internet is already largely captured and controlled by the corporate state surveillance algorithms- Long live SNs! Like chairman Xi said- 'You can have TikTok- its spiritual Opium'. Hope to still be living offgrid and pooing in a bucket...watching the trees grow and bathing in the snow fed river behind the cabin. Most people will still be slaves- always has been the way.
