Another set of ideas for Bitcoin from Musk

🤖 Elon Musk explained in detail why he considers Bitcoin the future of money. In a recent conversation, he revealed several key ideas that, in his view, will define the economy of the coming decades.

First. Energy = real money.
Musk emphasizes that energy has properties that make it a unique foundation of value. It cannot be “printed”, artificially increased, or devalued by an administrative decision. Every unit of energy costs real resources. From this perspective, Bitcoin, built on the energy-intensive mining process, has a built-in physical component of value. Unlike fiat currencies, whose value depends on decisions by central banks and the tail of government debt, Bitcoin has a clear and unchangeable issuance mechanism tied to energy.

Second. Artificial intelligence will eliminate scarcity, and with it the very need for money.
According to Musk’s calculations, in 10–20 years the economy will face a paradox of abundance: most goods and services will be produced by robots and AI systems almost without limitation. If there is no scarcity, the role of money drops sharply. However, value tied to energy will remain. Energy will become the actual unit of measurement of worth. That is why Bitcoin, which he calls a digital form of energy, may turn out to be more significant than traditional currencies.

Third. Robots will solve the US national debt, and this leads to an era of deflation.
Musk believes that automation will compensate extremely effectively for many structural economic problems, including the growing debt. The cost of production in a world saturated with AI will decrease year after year. This means deflation, zero or negative rates, and a general shift to an environment where fiat money loses its usual functions. Historically, such periods have led to rising interest in assets with limited issuance, primarily Bitcoin.

Fourth. Bitcoin as the base asset of a new energy economy.
If money, as we know it, stops being the main measure of value, energy will come to the forefront. And if energy becomes the economic benchmark, then a digital asset built directly on an energy-based process becomes the natural candidate for a global standard. Musk states directly that in such a model Bitcoin may become the base asset of the future economy.

Fifth. The confrontation between Bitcoin and fiat.
Fiat currencies are inevitably linked to politics, debt cycles, and regulatory decisions. Bitcoin, meanwhile, relies not on promises or trust in the state, but on physical energy and cryptography. Musk believes that in the long run this approach appears more sustainable.

🔥 The conclusion of his position is simple: if the future stands on energy and algorithms, Bitcoin takes its place at the very foundation of the new financial architecture.
