Most of Bitcoin Nostr gets the money. Some get the energy. But not enough get the AI. Watch these two videos back-to-back and you’ll see the next layer click into place. First is a breakdown of AI-native firms—companies run almost entirely by autonomous agents. Not theoretical. It’s already happening. These firms don’t scale through hiring—they scale through compute. Human labor isn’t just optional—it’s inefficient. Then listen to Jeff Booth lay out the macro layer. Fiat systems cannot adapt to exponential deflation from AI and automation. It’s not a policy issue—it’s a physics issue. And he says it flat: “If we’re entering a world of AI and automation, then the best thing we could have is Bitcoin.” Why? Because in the world that’s coming, cost isn’t measured in dollars. It’s measured in compute and energy. AI doesn’t care about legacy abstractions. It optimizes for throughput. And the only ledger capable of pricing energy, latency, and cost in real time, with no central distortion, is Bitcoin. Gold is too slow. Fiat is fake. Bitcoin is the base layer for machine incentives. AI will chase the cheapest energy. Bitcoin mining already does. They’re converging toward the same thermodynamic truth. That’s the loop. That’s the alignment. If we don’t anchor intelligence to energy, it gets captured by power. Bitcoin is how we make AI serve life—not control it. 🔹 AI-native firms: 🔹 Jeff Booth x Gammon: Bitcoin isn’t for AI. It’s what keeps it human-aligned.
People who don’t understand that falling labor costs mean falling prices will keep resisting automation and technology, and in doing so, they end up driving costs even higher. These unionized Uber drivers believe they’re improving their pay to keep up with rising expenses, but they’re missing the larger point. If every sector pushes for higher wages while also expecting the cost of goods and services to stay low, it creates a contradiction. The only reason platforms like Uber could compete with regular taxis in the first place was because they operated with lower overhead and fewer labor constraints. You can’t raise labor costs across the board and expect prices to stay the same. Everyone wants to earn more and pay less, but that balance is impossible when people fail to recognize they are on both sides of the trade in any market. This cycle is entirely predictable. Most people still haven’t grasped the deflationary reality of technology. As Jeff Booth explains, technology is supposed to drive prices down by making processes more efficient and reducing the need for human labor. That’s not a bug—it’s the point. But instead of allowing deflation to benefit everyone through lower costs, the current system fights it by printing money to preserve the illusion of growth, which ends up distorting market signals and inflating asset prices. Technology lowers the marginal cost of everything it touches. That means labor, across the board, becomes less economically valuable—and in a truly functioning system, prices would fall to reflect that. But instead, wages stagnate, prices rise, and people fight to claw back purchasing power through unions and legislation, not realizing that the core problem is the monetary system refusing to let deflation happen. Once again, the @Jeff Booth thesis is unfolding exactly as he predicted. Until we shift to a system aligned with technological deflation—like Bitcoin—these contradictions will keep accelerating. image
Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas — it’s what you make of it. For me, it was the people. Whether we talked for hours or just a few minutes, I appreciated every moment. Not just the nerd-famous — but everyone I crossed paths with: taxi drivers, waitresses, even strangers on the street talking Bitcoin. Wish I could list all the amazing people… thank you everyone who was a part.

Just went through U.S. customs at Vancouver international. The American customs official asked about my purpose of travel to Las Vegas, he then asked about some shitcoin I’ve never heard of and if it was good. And how about about DOGE coin? I told him Bitcoin only but if his shitcoins go up sell them immediately for Bitcoin. The officer at the desk next to him said, see I told you—Bitcoin only!
Mark Carney’s idea of fixing the housing crisis says a lot about the mindset that created it. After decades of central banks inflating asset prices through artificially low interest rates and easy credit—making homes unaffordable for an entire generation—the proposed solution is… more taxes. Tax equity. Raise property taxes on people who paid off their homes. Squeeze the middle class again to “help” the younger generation. This is the classic banker solution: create the bubble, then pretend to save us from it by extracting more from those who played by the rules. It’s redistribution without reform. None of it addresses the core issue: monetary debasement. Homes didn’t become unaffordable because of “free markets”—they became unaffordable because homes were hijacked as financial assets in a system where money itself is broken. Now imagine a different approach. What if instead of taxing equity, we shifted store of value demand away from housing and into an asset with no ceiling—Bitcoin. Put Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Manage inflation transparently. Let capital seek yield in an open monetary protocol rather than hiding in real estate. Over time, that rebalances incentives—homes go back to being shelter, not speculative vehicles. Done right, this strategy could draw housing costs down from the insane 8x–22x income range we’re seeing now to something sane again—like 3x household income. And it does that without punishing those who already own, or pushing people further into dependency on the state. One model leans on coercion and policy band-aids to mop up after its own failures. The other is a structural fix that reorients capital away from scarcity games and toward open markets. We have a choice: keep trusting the people who broke the system—or build something better, from the ground up. Bitcoin is that path. Not utopia. Just reality-based monetary architecture.
