The economic models we've built our entire civilisation on stop working.  In this episode I sit down with Cern Basher \u2014 a CFA charterholder, CIO of Brilliant Advice, and one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and macroeconomics. Originally from New Zealand, Cern has built a massive following for his work connecting the dots between exponential technology and the future of money.  We go deep on his thesis that AI and Bitcoin are two sides of the same coin \u2014 AI collapses the cost of intelligence (deflationary), and Bitcoin provides a monetary system that can't be inflated away. We explore Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis (which the US Department of Defence placed under security review), why AI agents will naturally adopt Bitcoin for autonomous transactions, and Cern's provocative argument that infinite output multiplied by zero price equals zero GDP \u2014 making our most fundamental economic metric meaningless.  If you've ever wondered what the economy actually looks like when abundance replaces scarcity, this is the conversation.  In this episode we discuss:  Why AI and Bitcoin are &quot;two sides of the same coin&quot; Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis and why the DoD took notice How AI is already contributing more to US GDP growth than consumer spending Why AI agents need Bitcoin \u2014 permissionless, no KYC, no intermediaries Cern's &quot;death of GDP&quot; thesis \u2014 infinite supply \u00d7 zero price = zero GDP The dematerialisation of physical products (cameras, maps, books, money) What this means for New Zealand and small economies How abundance economics breaks traditional supply and demand   Links mentioned: Cern Basher on X: https:\/\/x.com\/CernBasher Brilliant Advice: https:\/\/www.brilliantadvice.net Cern's GDP post: https:\/\/x.com\/CernBasher\/status\/1913993658572984440 Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis: https:\/\/dspace.mit.edu\/handle\/1721.1\/153030  \ud83d\udc49 Get your FREE Longevity Cheat Sheet: https:\/\/www.lisatamati.com\/lisa\/  \ud83c\udf10 Website: https:\/\/www.lisatamati.com \ud83d\uded2 Supplements: https:\/\/shop.lisatamati.com \ud83d\udce7 Contact: support@lisatamati.com ","author_name":"Pushing The Limits","author_url":"https:\/\/www.lisatamati.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40260970\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/199056245"}
