Bitcoin is the only thing in the entire universe whose total supply we know exactly.

AI safety expert Roman Yampolskiy believes Bitcoin is truly scarce due to its fixed supply cap of 21 million, lost passwords permanently reduce circulation, while gold may face unexpected supply shocks from events like asteroid impacts, and quantum computers pose minimal threat with quantum-resistant encryption in development.

Summary

These words were spoken by Dr. Roman Janpolsky, a pioneer in the field of AI security and who has published over 100 papers on the dangers of AI.

His logic is simple: the 21 million limit is hardcoded into the code; if the password is lost, it's gone forever. Satoshi Nakamoto's 1 million coins remain untouched. The truly circulating supply will only decrease. In contrast, with gold, a pure gold asteroid might one day strike, causing the supply to collapse.

Regarding concerns about quantum computers cracking Bitcoin, he said: Quantum-resistant encryption solutions are already on the way, and quantum computers are still very weak.

A top scholar who studies "how AI will end humanity" every day buys Bitcoin for just a few words: true scarcity.
