Adam Livingston, author of The Bitcoin Age and The Great Harvest, is sounding the alarm on the rapid advance of artificial intelligence and its impact on jobs and economic stability.
The ticking clock on human capital
Livingston argues that the world is entering a period of accelerated change as AI systems begin to replace human economic value at scale.
He warns that the next five years may be the last opportunity to accumulate bitcoin and secure financial sovereignty. Livingston stated:
“AI is not merely augmenting human capacity… it absorbs, replicates, and ultimately obsoletes it.”
Recent data supports his concerns: a Kalshi survey found that 41% of companies plan to lay off workers due to AI within five years.
Youth underemployment has reached 17%, its highest since 2020, and entry-level jobs are disappearing as automation accelerates.
Bitcoin as a defense against digital abundance
Livingston contends that, in a world where information and value can be copied endlessly, true scarcity resides in assets like bitcoin that can’t be artificially replicated or diluted.
Bitcoin’s mathematically fixed supply makes it resistant to inflation and central control.
He calls bitcoin a “counter-algorithm” to AI’s infinite replication, arguing that stacking bitcoin is critical for “surviving the great harvest.”
Labor market shifts intensify
The struggle for employment is already evident, with the U.S. underemployment rate at 8.1%.
Generation Z and Alpha are entering a labor market where technology doesn’t just compete for jobs—it replaces them. Livingston concludes:
“Surviving the great harvest will require stacking a sovereignty portfolio.”
He points to bitcoin as the foundation of such a portfolio, emphasizing its unconfiscatable and inflation-proof qualities.
As the AI revolution rapidly advances, Livingston’s message is clear: stack bitcoin now, before the window closes.
