The Future of Bitcoin and Artificial Intelligence
summary
Announces the launch of The Bitcoin Research Institute and argues machines — not humans — become Bitcoin’s primary users over decades, with concrete roadmaps: Lightning plus chiai mint architectures, payment pools, vaults, BitVM/secure multi‑party computation, and prediction markets. Shows lab work (a GPU named Hal autonomously assembling a taproot multisig transaction), cites Texas hosting ~20% of global mining, and explains why Taproot trees, final settlement, and on‑chain dispute resolution make these R&D paths plausible.
