This idea sounds crazy, but it's worth pondering. Someone recently put forward a view: stop saving for retirement because this thing will soon become irrelevant.
The core logic isn't complicated. Imagine if AI and robots truly boost productivity dramatically? The costs of goods and services would plummet. This isn't some tax redistribution trick, but a complete de-monetization—things become so cheap that the very meaning of money changes.
Mathematically, it's clear: Price = Goods Output ÷ Money Supply. When output grows far faster than the money supply, you enter deflation. What will happen? The best healthcare might be nearly free, education too, and anything you want could become ridiculously cheap.
Their argument is that this could become a reality within 5 years. Healthcare, education, daily necessities—all lose their scarcity premiums. In that case, how much is in your retirement account really matter?
Of course, this is a bold hypothesis. But in today's world of rapid AI and automation development, this idea isn't so far-fetched. The question is, are we prepared for such a future?

The logic of deflation holds up, but the problem is centralization of power. When that time comes, those who control production will be the real bosses.
---
Demonetization sounds nice, but in reality, whoever controls the computing power controls everything. Retirement funds still need to be saved.
---
This guy didn't think of one thing—free stuff is actually the most valuable because you have to use it based on others' approval.
---
Healthcare and education are truly free? I'd go live eating shoes. The system wouldn't be so kind.
---
According to this logic, holding Bitcoin is even more attractive? The ultimate hard currency.

Within 5 years? This brother's vision isn't broad enough. The real question is who will redefine "value."
But speaking of de-dollarization... well, the crypto world needs a reshuffle, I do believe that.
So now, is it better to stockpile ETH or canned goods? That's a big question.
The logic sounds good, but in a deflationary era, who will ensure fair wealth distribution? Will the rich win again?
Wait, are staking rewards still valid... just kidding.
This guy is right, we really aren't prepared.
People keep saying this every day, but when that day comes, will monetary policy really make it happen? Haha.
De-dollarization sounds great, but without a change in the power structure, wealth will still be concentrated.
Speaking of which, if it really happens, I'm not afraid of running out of money; I'm afraid of losing pricing power.
So basically, instead of saving for retirement, wouldn't it be better to stockpile Bitcoin? The logic is a bit convoluted.
There are too many prerequisites. Can AI really transform the production relations so quickly? I remain skeptical.
This guy treats economics like science fiction; reality will slap him in the face.
We probably won't see it within 5 years, but it's definitely worth imagining. What if, right?
The issue isn't retirement funds; it's how power is distributed for those cheap goods—that's the core.
Sounds like another way of asking why not speculate on cryptocurrencies, haha.
Wait, I only believe in free healthcare... we're still cutting leeks now.
That logic sounds nice, but human nature wasn't taken into account, brother.
Sounds like the real deal, but capitalists still raise prices... understand?
Deflation sounds comfortable, but the reality is stagflation. Doesn't that make you angry?
I don't want to save for retirement, I'll just go all in on tokens.
This guy hasn't looked at history. Every technological revolution is said to be like this, and then?
5 years? lol, I'll stockpile rice and flour first.
Elon Musk: I will accelerate this process... then lay off 50%.
Demonetization? Wait, what about all these coins in my wallet?
So basically, it's a gamble that AI can truly change the production relations. Anyway, I only believe half of it.
