Episode description as stored
<p>“The people who are truly productive are going to be on a rocket ship.” </p> <p>AI is about to split society in two: those who learn to command it and those whose value it destroys. </p> <p>Zack Shapiro, Head of Policy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, explains why AI could dismantle the traditional white-collar career ladder while creating millions of millionaires. He argues that judgment, agency and decisive thinking will become exponentially more valuable, while simply working hard may no longer be enough. </p> <p>We discuss why most people are using AI incorrectly, how it could transform law and business, whether mass unemployment and universal basic income are coming, and why Zack believes there is a 15% chance AI could wipe out humanity. </p> <p>We also explore the battle between technological abundance and authoritarian control, why autonomous AI agents may naturally choose Bitcoin, the future of the CLARITY Act, protections for Bitcoin developers, and whether America will ever meaningfully build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.</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></p> <p><a href="https://www.swan.com/wbd"><strong>SWAN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/"><strong>ANCHORWATCH</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd"><strong>BLOCKWARE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/wbd"><strong>BITKEY</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.cape.co/wbd"><strong>CAPE</strong></a></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW:</strong></p> <p>Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/%5C_DannyKnowles">https://x.com/\_DannyKnowles</a></p> <p>Zack Shapiro: <a href="https://x.com/zackbshapiro">https://x.com/zackbshapiro</a></p>
