This interview with
Peter Diamandis and Eric Schmidt is fascinating b/c it perfectly illustrates how difficult it is for even people like Eric and
Dr Fri-Fei Li to understand how abundance can flow to everyone, globally.
AI will create massive new wealth.
The question is not whether abundance happens. The question is who captures it...
When money is controlled, abundance concentrates.
When money is neutral, abundance distributes.
Bitcoin is the difference.
In today’s system, the value created by society gets skimmed off at the monetary layer. Inflation, credit creation, asset manipulation—these are extraction tools today.
That only works because money is centralized and can be changed by a small group of people.
Bitcoin changes this.
It ties money to energy, not politics.
It removes the ability to “print” or dilute value.
When productivity increases under Bitcoin, the value flows to the creators, not the gatekeepers.
So the future divides cleanly:
AI + Fiat → Centralized abundance
AI + Bitcoin → Distributed abundance
The base layer determines the outcome.
Fix the money.
Free the future.
Obvious h/t to @Jeff Booth for making this all so clear. If anyone knows Peter let's get Jeff on the Moonshots pod, he'd bring new insights to their discussions.
