Not Blockchain. Not Crypto. Bitcoin is becoming the foundation for web3.0 Web2.0 is being destroyed by AI. No protocol can compete with its hashing power, security and decentralization…not even AI.

In the past, document verification was a manual, gatekept process: only select officials could stamp and sign to make it legitimate. Today, cryptographic hashing, digital signatures, and immutable timestamping enable reliable authentication of digital documents without any central authority. Once regulators recognize the network, it’s official. No more gatekeepers. Bitcoin is poised to become the gold standard for notarization.

Open-source AI models are humanity’s only defense against an AI panopticon controlled by a few players.

What if the surge in gold investments is eclipsing Bitcoin’s appeal, as fears of AI-generated noise overwhelming the internet make people seek ‘tangible’ safe havens over digital ones? What if AI slop forces a narrative shift for Bitcoin, emphasizing its timestamping capability as a tool for verifying and validating data integrity in a polluted digital world? What if most people are mistaking Bitcoin for only being a form of money, not knowing its broader potential?

“If you're feeling overwhelmed & scattered on the internet, it makes sense.We shouldn’t put technology back in the box but learn how to integrate modern society, taking into account what your meat suit needs.The meat suit needs fundamentals. It needs sunshine, community, positive relationships, food, water, sleep, low stress…the absolute fundamentals. You don't need another pill.”

Industry now leads academia in the digital age. Where universities once shaped talent and set the pace, industry has taken over that role. Today, it’s the people who use their knowledge to build real products, ship them, and deploy them into the world who gain the true competitive edge. The gap between academia and industry will only widen. Academic curricula move slowly by nature; technology evolves too fast for institutions to keep up.

AI is redefining what the internet is for , accelerating us into a new era faster than most can comprehend. The time to practice OPSEC has already passed; data centers already have everything — your banking details, biometrics, photos, conversations, movements. We can blame social media, ignorance, or the absence of data-literacy… but the truth is We’re already here! One day, a breach will come and those unprepared will lose far more than they ever imagined.😔 God speed.

‘The size of the universe is the distance that light can travel in 13.8 billion years. The size of the earth is a fraction of a light second. If we want to think about the universe is terms of space & time, the mind needs a different model of imagination. Current models would struggle to grasp time from a psychological perspective. It requires exponential notation & abstract concepts to approximate these ideas of time & space.These massive factors difficult to comprehend do not equate to humans being insignificant to time & space on a cosmic scale.The mind is a beautiful model of cellular patterns and a vast amount of processing units. Despite being physically small in comparison to the dimensions of the universe, these units process approximately billions of thoughts in a human lifetime & that is not insignificant.’ Thoughts from Prof Frank Wilczek (Nobel Prize winning physicist at MIT) on The Lex Fridman Show.

The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. Technology will develop and evolve with or without approval. Both Forces of nature controlled by the hands of God that does not give a damn about human emotion.

Imagine someone can provide evidence by manipulating software to accuse you of a crime you’re innocent of…🫠 They’ve got digital footage, voice recordings and paid off a few people to lie about your case. In some authoritarian countries, you’re guilty until proven innocent.

The global economy is built on these equations.

The way you project your Belief onto the world reflects your understanding of both the Belief and the world.

Nelson Mandela on Democracy 1994 Inaugural Address (Pretoria, South Africa) “Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement.”

‘The biggest miracle of the universe is a few pounds of moosh inside our skulls and yet it is one of the most complex objects in the universe. Our brains are incredible, efficient and phenomenal machines. Building Artificial Intelligence & comparing it to the human mind will unlock unique mysteries of the mind that we’ve pondered about since the dawn of time & humanity. We will develop a better understanding of consciousness, dreaming, creativity & emotions.’ Thoughts from Demis hassabis exploring the exciting unknown frontier of Artificial Intelligence on The Lex Fridman podcast, episode 299 dated 01 July 2022

Human beings discrediting the intelligence of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is akin to Monkeys in lab coats judging a toddler figuring out how to peel a banana. AI is the worse it will be today because it will only get better tomorrow.

There will be a generation native to decentralized technologies, AI, robotics and quantum that will study present reality through a historical lens and be absolutely aghast that humans would burn & cut down trees to communicate & transfer daily information. They may romanticize the tactile nature of our methods like holding a book or feeling the grain of paper as a lost art much like we cherish vinyl records or Polaroids. Still, their lens will be shaped by their own tech’s limits which future generations might too find primitive.

On July 13th 1958 , The New York Times reported on ‘The Perceptron’ an electronic device that could mimic the human brain. It introduced the foundational concept of neural networks & machine learning. It could learn & compute but only in a very narrow mathematical sense.

When studying mathematics & specifically differential calculus one would ponder ‘why’ the functions do what they do? This exercise, despite beneficial for the brain distracted the mind from solving the equation. You don’t have to understand how a tool works to use the tool.

History has repeatedly shown the same pattern for innovative & disruptive technologies.When new tools enter the free market that threaten the monopolistic power structure,the no1 tactic to discourage its use by the market participant is psychological warfare in the form of ‘FUD’. New tech always faces FUD: 🚂 Railroads/Autos → unsafe & disruptive ⚡ Electricity → deadly, fire risk 🌐 Internet → scam, fad, useless 🤖 AI → job killer, existential threat
