I recently saw an interview that almost made me rethink what "money" means.

In India, there is a brokerage founder named Nikhil Kamath from Zerodha, who invited Musk to chat on his show "People by WTF." Old Ma is starting his "sci-fi predictions" again - this time, he’s going bigger.

What did he say? Twenty years from now, working might become an option of "you can do it if you want." AI and robots will take over all the work, and humans won't need to go to work at all. Sounds ridiculous, right? Even Musk said, "When the time comes, we'll replay this video and see if I end up contradicting myself."

But the more explosive part is yet to come. When AI and robots can handle all demands, money may disappear altogether—energy will become the real circulating value. It makes sense to think that by then, productivity will be off the charts, material wealth will be greatly abundant, and the meaning of traditional currency will indeed need to be redefined.

In the short term? Musk predicts that within three years, the output growth of AI and robots will exceed the speed of the US printing money, which may directly lead to deflation and interest rates dropping to zero. What does this mean for the cryptocurrency market? It is worth pondering.

Musk is launching satellites again, this time directly saying that money is useless, energy is the way to go? It might really be true. He’s not wrong, with deflation coming, how to play in the crypto world needs careful consideration. Twenty years without working? I think it's better to survive the next three years first, haha. The energy revolution is indeed more worth following than the money printer, need to keep up with this. Here comes the sci-fi rhetoric, with Musk's mouth, who knows when he’ll end up slapping himself.

Ha, it's time for Musk to make a splash again. Energy becoming the new currency? Sounds like a boost for the Miners, just what we nocturnal creatures thrive on.

Is Musk fooling us again? Alternative currency for energy? Sounds nice, but who will set the energy prices then? If we don't work in twenty years, how do we deal with deflation in the next three years? The current coins have to hold on first. The value of energy circulation sounds like a bull, but the reality is that whoever holds the power centralizes it, and who has the pricing power, don't think too beautifully. This logic chain is too long, there are too many breaks in between, I actually want to see when he gets slapped in the face.

Musk has started telling stories again, no one will work in 20 years? I think he wants us all to buy his Bots, haha. The logic that energy becomes the new currency I actually understand, it's much more reliable than some coins. Three years of deflation with an Intrerest Rate drop to zero? Then we really need to hold onto the eth in our hands.

Is energy becoming the new currency? Musk really seems to be thinking big this time, but it doesn't feel wrong. --- Haha, Musk is starting to paint a big picture again. In 20 years, we’ll all be financially free, right? --- Deflation is coming, and interest rates will drop to zero. Is this favourable or unfavourable information for the crypto world? My mind is a bit confused. --- Instead of waiting 20 years, I might as well stock up on ETH now, since idle money is just sitting there anyway. --- Musk does this every time; his predictions always crash, but I can't help but listen each time 🤔 --- Energy as a medium of value exchange sounds like a trading system of the future, a bit sci-fi. --- Does the logic of three years of short-term deflation hold up? It feels flawed. --- Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s see how this wave of BNB market goes.
