They confront centralized AI black boxes, fiat money, and the Cantillon effect as engines for inequality. Jesse argues Bitcoin is the anchor of truth and absolute scarcity that can keep autonomous AI aligned. They connect proof of work to the physical world, like gravity for Icarus’ wings. The conversation ends on sovereignty, the meaning crisis, and a possible new Renaissance.RELAI DISCLAIMERRelai sponsors this show/podcast and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services in Switzerland and across the European Union under the MiCA regulatory framework with its license issued by the French regulator, AMF (License No: A2025-006).
