Episode description as stored
<p>“I think the primary product that they’re the most interested in selling is AI psychosis.” </p> <p>Erik Cason returns to discuss why he believes American capitalism has already ended, how AI could accelerate the rise of the surveillance state, and why owning your own AI could become as important as holding your own Bitcoin. </p> <p>We also get into AI dependence, his warning of a “digital 9/11”, the competition between Chinese open models and American AI companies, and the personal AI system he’s building. Erik explains how Bitcoin and cryptography fit into this future, and why Bitcoin could become essential for paying for AI when governments restrict access.</p> <p><strong>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://ledn.io/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=2025_whatbitcoindid&utm_content=ad_read"><strong>LEDN -</strong></a> Explore Bitcoin-backed loans and get 0.25% off your first loan.</p> <p><a href="https://www.swan.com/wbd"><strong>SWAN -</strong></a> Buy Bitcoin, Build Wealth.
