‘A good definition for money is an insurance policy against uncertainty. It can be used to obtain anything that the market place can bear in terms of goods or services. As a market actor facing future uncertainty, I will not know what good or services I will need. Therefore I hold my purchasing power in a store of value for that uncertain future that gives me the widest range of optionality for goods & services. Therefore there will always be a demand for money.’ Thoughts from @Robert Breedlove discussing the idea of money and its future in an uncertain & unpredictable economy involving human & AI interaction.

AI is empowering creators, innovators and scientists like never before — and empowering those who steal, lie and cheat just as fast. The duality is real. Even in the anarchy and chaos, there’s a strange kind of beauty and vitality. AI is a forge for both creators and corruptors — brilliance and deception rising in parallel. In the anarchy, there’s a vitality that reminds us evolution is never neat. ☯️ ⚖️ 🌓 🔀
