In the next few months and years a lot of people might not even have a job to be able work any hours a week.

I get that a 4 day 32 hour work week sounds reasonable, but this model is going to rapidly become outdated as automation renders entire portions if not the entire job a person has obsolete.

We should be focusing on something that is real and in our near future. Finding a way to distribute the unprecedented wealth and efficiency that will come from AI into the pockets of the increasingly unemployed masses instead of a few corporations.

People love to defend the monetary system that fuels war, raises inflation, helped to create an ever increasing wealth gap, and is controlled by politicians and big banks. I can understand why, those guys have been ardent defenders of the workingman since the invention of the wheel.

Bitcoin may not be the chain to perform beer transactions. Ethereum using layer-2s and roll-ups are though. Major companies like visa and MasterCard are already in the processing of adopting this tech because it’s cheaper and faster.

Bitcoin is great for moving large amounts of value though. Nothing comes close to its efficiency. Recently a billion dollars of value was transferred for something like .68 cents in tx fees. That isn’t happening with cash or gold, not even close.

Maybe not in the US but in a lot of other countries it is being used for everyday things. Latin America, Ukraine, parts of Africa for example.

It’s coming to the US soon too. Mastercard and Visa are currently working to integrate the Ethereum blockchain into their payment process system. Layer 2s are faster and cheaper then traditional ways of payment processing.

Going to college now is going to be a complete waste of time and resources for a majority of people. The majority of jobs requiring a degree will most likely not exist by the end of the decade thanks to AI. Just something to keep in mind for anyone considering going for a degree or currently in the process of getting one.
