When computation becomes cheap and abundant, when software scales effortlessly, when robots proliferate everywhere—that's precisely when Bitcoin's role crystallizes. It becomes the ultimate hedge: the scarcest, hardest money ever designed, standing against infinite digital replication.

Similarly, as AI agents grow more sophisticated and can convincingly fabricate nearly anything, cryptography and zero knowledge proofs (especially ZK-STARKs) transform from nice-to-have into essential infrastructure. They're the only verification mechanism that matters in a world of synthetic content and deepfakes.
