The Rise of AI-Generated Content and the Need for Decentralization
The prevalence of AI-generated content has led to a concern that distinguishing between real and fabricated accounts is becoming increasingly difficult. This decline in authenticity poses a threat to the integrity of information on the internet, prompting a demand for alternative solutions. Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are proposed as a response by the state, yet Bitcoin presents a decentralized solution that emphasizes user sovereignty. The aim is to create an internet infrastructure that prioritizes censorship resistance and operates independently of centralized control.
