Asked how Bitcoin would be used by AI, given it is less programmable than other chains, Thorn answers that agents will use blockchains generally, not necessarily Bitcoin, because frontier models are trained on code and public ledgers are easy for them to read.
…be surprised. I'm just saying, you know, the factors that led Satoshi to write about the root problem with fiat traditional currency, they're only magnified from 2009 to now and certainly even from October of last year. So if that was a reason you liked Bitcoin, the thesis is better than it was.
…me. I don't think that Bitcoin is as programmable as a lot of other crypto assets. And, you know, in fact, like the way it's mainly used in DeFi is through things like wrapped Bitcoin and stuff. So I was curious to hear how you thought Bitcoin would be used by AI, if that is what you meant by that.
What I really meant is to exit the surveillance state, which is likely to grow, then something like Bitcoin is a credible alternative and place to store your money. But your question more about agents using coins is also relevant. And you can tell this is just one paragraph in the report. It's not broadly a report about Bitcoin being an exit valve for a future dystopian surveillance state. That's not what most of the report is, but I think that's an important point. Think about all these posts that you see just lately. And I only kind of knew about this until recently, but now it's all over Twitter is like the spyware that your television is loaded with. Every TV is, I mean, some of them are recording your audio in your house, right? And people waking up to that. The building a surveillance state is substantial. And by the way, tracking people, even if you have the face scanners they have in China, they didn't have the bandwidth to follow every person, but now the agents do, right? And so I just think in a world like that, owning censorship resistant currency, I mean, it doesn't have to…
Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. It's it's not just your TV, but your phone. There's all kinds of other things that I've been fiddling with with all my electronics. So you also talked about how, you know, we're in this moment where the focus is on stable coins and tokenization. And you cited that as another…
it's counterintuitive, I suppose, right? Because it's very clear. And I know you've been covering the space for so long. So you've definitely seen this happen a few times like I have. But I remember like, you know, before 2017 in like 14, 15, 16, there was, and I was at Fidelity, there was a very…
Yeah. It's just like in my
