Murad Warns: AI and Crypto Are Heading for a Decades-Long Battle
Crypto researcher Murad Mahmudov forecasts a prolonged clash between AI-driven centralization and blockchain-based decentralization, framing it as the defining technological struggle of the coming decades. His analysis, shared on the PondTalk podcast, positions blockchain infrastructure as both a transactional rail for AI agents and a protest platform for humans displaced by automation.
The dual trajectory envisions AI agents conducting machine-to-machine transactions on-chain, while unemployed populations leverage crypto networks to voice dissent. "Blockchains will be a place where people express dissatisfaction by participating financially," Mahmudov noted, suggesting crypto could become the countercultural response to AI-induced job disruption.
