Comment by @paulshantz3904 on Jack Mallers monday podcast...
I don't agree or disagree, I just thought the guy put some effort into that comment so I'm sharing it for bro 💪

Jack....let's keep it real...you're shitting on Elon and other AI developers for saying in the future we won't even need money....
but then a few minutes later you talk about how with AI and a bitcoin standard we can all pursue artistic passions and flourish as a species...so which is it?
At the end of the day...isn't bitcoin a form of AI?
you may or may not have though of it that way....but if you look at it logically btc is just using compute to decentralize a monetary ledger....
so the real question is.."how valuable is this decentralized ledger to humanity over the long run?".....
now every bitcoiner (including myself) are wired to think that it is infinitely valuable and so the price will go up forever...but step back and ask yourself.....outside of the bitcoin echo chamber of radical libertarians what percentage of the population actually wants to take control and thus responsibility for thier money?
the sad truth is I think the answer is something like 3%.....meaning 97% of the population actually wants central planners to control their time and energy....
i feel like being a bitcoiner is bascially like being a vegan...if you're a vegan talking to other vegan's you really do believe that everyone who isn't a vegan is really lost and misguided...but why then are only 3% of the world vegans?.....
it's quite possible that the same is true for freedom money.....perhaps the thought of self sovereignty and real freedom is just too much for most people....and perhaps the natural state is with 3% of people being bitcoiners and 97% just being volunteer slaves...
it sounds crazy because as a bitcoiner you're like "why would anyone choose slavery?"......but outside of the echo chamber that seems to be what I come across....
there's a sense of security people feel by having someone else tell them how to live....I'm not sure how to address this problem...I'm just trying to bring attention to it.
