Don't remind me again today

#数字货币市场回调 Musk has dropped a bomb again on an Indian show. This time it's Nikhil Kamath's "People by WTF"—Musk directly asserts that energy is the truly circulating thing of the future. Currency? It may disappear completely.



His timeline is even crazier: 20 years from now, work will become an option of whether you want to do it or not. AI and robots will handle everything, and humans can just relax. Musk also said, feel free to pull out this statement in 20 years to slap him in the face.

More radical is the short-term forecast - within 3 years, the production capacity growth of AI and robots will exceed the speed of money printing in the United States. What will be the result? Deflation will arrive, and interest rates may approach zero. It sounds quite sci-fi, but considering the plummeting costs of automated production, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

If machines can truly meet all demands, the meaning of money will indeed be redefined. At that time, will energy, as the underlying support of productivity, become a new value anchor? What role will these digital assets, $ETH and $BNB , play in this transformation? It is worth pondering.

I've heard Musk's argument too many times; he always talks about overturning something, but what’s the result? The crypto world is still playing people for suckers as usual. Energy as a value anchor? Then why don’t we just use electricity bills to buy groceries?

Energy as currency? Tracing this logic back, the essence of ancient precious metals is also a materialized form of scarce energy. The question is—who defines the value standard of energy? Musk's remarks are somewhat akin to the obsession of medieval gold standard advocates, always wanting to find an "absolute anchor point." Blockchain, on the other hand, is doing the opposite—removing a single anchor point. Quite interesting.

I've heard Musk's rhetoric too many times; he always sounds quite serious... But the real sting is that he hit on one point – energy is indeed fundamental. But the disappearance of currency? I think that's unlikely; as long as humans need to trade with each other, symbols must exist. However, if deflation really happens within 3 years, our Holdings would be quite awkward.

Musk's words are just for listening, it's good enough to be alive in 20 years, haha.

Energy circulation as a substitute for currency? Musk is indeed talking nonsense this time... but there is some substance to it. This guy talks about deflationary interest rates dropping to zero in 20 years, it sounds like science fiction but overcapacity could indeed lead to this. The key is how to position digital assets, tokens linked to energy might have a chance.

Energy as currency? I need to ponder this logic... However, the prediction of 3 years of deflation feels a bit optimistic, haha. After 20 years of humans lying flat, energy will be more valuable, so should we enter a position in energy stocks now? Musk is firing blank shots again, just waiting to be slapped in the face. Bots have really taken over everything, what can ETH do, confused face. 20 years is too far, I only care about how to survive next year. With deflation, money will depreciate, and coins will be even less desirable, right? This theory sounds great, but it's difficult to implement, brother. Energy monetization... feels like painting a big pie again. AI is taking off and interest rates are dropping to zero, what about my fixed-term deposits? Musk's mouth has never stopped.
