Here's an interesting take on how machines and technology compound growth: when computing power drives technological breakthroughs without requiring constant human intervention, and you plow enough of those gains back into building even more advanced hardware, wealth starts accumulating at a scale we've rarely seen before. It's a feedback loop—better machines produce more value, which funds better machines, which produce even more value. In spaces like crypto and decentralized networks, this dynamic plays out pretty clearly: increased computational efficiency directly translates to network security, throughput, and economic incentives. The question becomes: how sustainable is this exponential trajectory, and who captures that value?
