Elon Musk stated that, in the future, money will “lose its meaning,” and that new measures of wealth will become energy and resources. ―――――――――――――― Upon hearing this comment, I was reminded of something. Let me share a funny story from my family. Twelve years ago, while talking with my child: Child: “I think money will disappear in the future.” Me: “I think the value of money will change too. I don’t think it’ll be paper money anymore (I knew about BTC).” Child: “Then I won’t need to work anymore.” Me: “…But in today’s society, we still need it, so it’s not that simple.” Child: “Then I’ll just sleep outdoors!” Me: “…Huh?! I couldn’t do that—I’ll keep working a little longer.” The future I discussed with my child back then— twelve years later— AI is now poised to transform society. If the value of money is changing, what will truly hold value going forward? I believe that, before this era shifts completely, a transformation is already underway— one that leaves behind things beyond money.
