They system we use today - banking, pricing, debt, interest - were all built in a world where: Energy was limited, production was slow, information was expensive, labour was the bottleneck. This meant the economy evolved by managing "scarcity". It's what most economists and CEOs still discuss today ... the "economics of scarcity".

Bitcoin mining makes wasted energy profitable, which increases usable supply and pushes the cost of energy down over time.) This is blowing me away. The sun hits earth with 10,000x more energy than humanity is currently using. AI turns intelligence into a scalable resource. Automation is turning labour from scarce to easily replicable. Bitcoin turns value storage into something that's fixed and incorruptible. So instead of economics being about who controls scarcity, it is now actively in the process of becoming about how efficiently we convert: Energy -> intelligence -> output -> value. We are now incentivized to think from physics instead of from finance and the assumptions I've used my whole life are changing very quickly. Scarcity Economics: Value is limited Money is managed by centralized intitutions. Wealth accumulates upward. Savings doesn't work. Physics of Abundance: Value is producible at scale. Money is secured by energy. Wealth spreads outward through lower prices. Saving IS the mechanism of prosperity. If AI makes intelligence abundant, and Bitcoin makes money incorruptible, and energy increasingly comes from excess/stranded/renewable sources... ...then the limited factor in wealth creation is no longer "who controls the money". The limiting factor becomes: How much energy and intelligence you can access and coordinate. We are moving to a world where physics is more important than finances. Wealth in the future will flow to the people, companies, and regions that can power things (energy) and figure out what to do with that power (intelligence) — and connect those pieces efficiently (coordination). And with a new monetary layer (Bitcoin) is enabling global coordination between almost anyone. Scarcity has been imposed on us. Abundance is natural.
