Money & Markets in a Post AGI World with Jordi Montes, Founder - Fewsats

Jordi is one of the few people in the world with a deep understanding of the concurrent singularities of AI and Bitcoin. He has particularly novel thoughts on the nature of money and markets post AGI/ASI. This was a fascinating discussion - hope you enjoy!

A few topics we discuss:

* How Jordi became AGI/ASI pilled (language = code)

* The concurrent singularities of AGI/Bitcoin (almost no-one understands them both)

* Two fundamental types intelligence: 1) desire / will and 2) implementation

* AGI capabilities: all implementation, “will” remains to be seen

* As long as there are still multiple groups who own things, different perspectives, and multiple groups reach AGI/ASI around the same time, we’ll still need markets for coordination

* Markets forming between agents (and humans) should create brand new economic theory untestable heretofore

* Jordi outlines several novel forces for markets in a world with agents in Beyond the Sum: Unlocking AI Agents Potential Through Market Forces

* 1) perfect replication of actors, 2) dynamic instantiation (and deletion) of actors, 3) collective learning with perfect information, and 4) resource fluidity for agents

* The role of Nostr and an emergent web of trust in filtering information in this new Internet

* Gigi’s articles on how a better currency/payment system can lead to better business models: Attention is a Terrible Currency and Value for Value

* Comparing the early Lightning Network to the early Internet

* Building fewsats.com: payment infrastructure for AI agents. Jordi’s new demo: sherlockdomains.com - a domain registrar made for AI agents

* Is python now the lingua franca? How do we get more bitcoin and nostr libraries in python?

* The future of Nostr as the open identity/communication standard for humans and agents

* AI / agent predictions for 2025
