Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.







When we released Claude Opus 4.5, we knew future models would be close to our AI Safety Level 4 threshold for autonomous AI R&D. We therefore committed to writing sabotage risk reports for future frontier models. Today we’re delivering on that commitment for Claude Opus 4.6.

One of the main reasons why you can't afford to buy a house: The wealthy (people like @DaveRamsey) use residential real estate as a savings account. You are their cash flow. As they buy more houses than they need, the market price of real estate rises. Dave owns THOUSANDS of rental properties. He does it to collect rental income EVEN THOUGH HE HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Bitcoin takes attention away from real estate as an investment/savings vehicle. People like Dave want you to stay away from it so you keep working hard to buy real estate. You are his exit liquidity. You start focusing on Bitcoin = decreased demand for RE = prices go down = Dave's portfolio suffers. In 10+ years when houses are selling for 0.0001 Bitcoin or less, Dave's entire portfolio will barely buy him 1 Bitcoin. He will be FORCED to sell all the homes he accumulated over the last 40 years, because real estate will no longer be profitable. This is the wealth transfer I'm looking forward to.
