Crypto 2050 - Future of Smart Economies, Asteroid Mining, and coming Digital Asset Wars
summary
Predicts every major economy runs on AI and automation by 2050, with robots outnumber humans and more machines have wallets than humans; mobile payments hit $52 trillion in China in 2020 and China invested about $8 trillion in Belt and Road while its CBDC began in 2014. Forecasts grid-level battery storage and ~8 hours of storage needs, a 300 GW battery farm example, 75 UBI trials boosting entrepreneurship, 300M–1.6B eco-refugees risk, and the asteroid Psyche 16 valued at $10 quintillion, driving massively fragmented tokenized money and smart-contract rails.
