As AI and Bitcoin become integral to our financial systems, we can expect a dramatic increase in economic growth and efficiency, similar to the productivity gains seen during previous technological revolutions.
I don't agree with everything in this article, but I thought it was an interesting read.
I agree with that take. broadly. So much expensive human effort is expended on repetitive cognitive tasks. Those will be faster, cheaper, and more reliably done by AI. Also, freeing up all those labor hours will bring down the labor costs and increase the efficiency of everything else.
I haven't looked into the details, but I've seen predictions of 90% average cost reductions. That happened many times during the Industrial Revolution, so it's not as implausible as it might seem.

I think that it is natural in society to have people with different drives and abilities. I see less ultra rich, a few insanely rich, less poor people that work, and still homeless and poor people that don’t want to work. The biggest change will be that poor people that work 40+ hours will be like the middle class of today. Middle class living will continue to improve.
