Here's a thought experiment worth pondering: what if money as we know it becomes obsolete? That's the latest take circulating from tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who's been diving into how artificial intelligence and robotics could fundamentally reshape global economics. The argument goes like this—as AI and automated systems handle production and resources with increasing efficiency, traditional currency might lose its relevance entirely. Musk brought this up while discussing forward-looking initiatives aimed at building financial literacy among younger generations. It's a provocative idea that challenges conventional assumptions about value exchange in a hyper-automated future.

Wait, what do we do with trading coins after the money is gone?

The theory of currency extinction sounds very sexy, but no one is asking who will control those AIs? The power structure is the key.

Money disappears? Ha, the logical flaw is as obvious as a reentrancy attack. How can something without scarcity serve as a value anchor? No matter how high AI efficiency is, the fundamental resource allocation game cannot change.

The theory of currency extinction is an old and familiar topic. The real question is who will control that distribution mechanism.
