Our tastes vary as Americans. For some bitcoin is a way to mitigate risk. I have no problem with two people making a free and voluntary decision to trade bitcoins, precious metals, or equity in publicly traded businesses. That freedom creates important market signals that spur capital investment, diversifies retirement portfolios, and informs business decisions.
AI is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. For some it creates value. For some it is a threat. Like other things, while we all have opinions about the value it might or not create as individuals, what really matters in a capitalist system is the market as reflected by millions of people making free and voluntary decisions.
The beauty of this is that our opinions matter. And they matter infinitely more than a small, arrogant group of elites sitting in a smoke-filled room telling us what is good for us.
