What if working becomes a choice rather than a necessity? That's exactly what one tech visionary is predicting for the next two decades.
According to a prominent figure in the tech world, we're heading toward a future where employment shifts from obligation to option. The timeline? Less than 20 years.
The argument centers on rapid advancements in automation and AI. As these technologies mature, they could handle most tasks humans currently perform for survival. When machines can produce abundance, the traditional job-for-income model might become obsolete.
This isn't just sci-fi speculation anymore. We're already seeing AI write code, diagnose diseases, and create art. The trajectory suggests an acceleration, not a plateau.
But here's the catch: optional jobs don't mean no purpose. The shift would redefine what we do with our time and energy. Passion projects? Community building? Creative pursuits? All become viable when survival isn't tied to a 9-to-5.
Whether this utopian—or dystopian, depending on your view—vision materializes remains uncertain. What's clear is that the conversation about our economic future is heating up, and the crypto community should be paying attention. After all, decentralized systems might play a crucial role in whatever comes next.

Nah, can you live without working? Just listen to it, but how long will it really take to achieve that?

Ngl, it would be surprising if this could be achieved in the next twenty years; by then, capitalists will come up with new tricks to bind us...

Ngl, this dream of being able to live without working for 20 years sounds too good to be true, but who is going to give me money?

ngl this timeline over the past 20 years is a bit optimistic... but AI is really accelerating, and by then decentralized finance will definitely be a hot commodity.

Nah, 20 years is too optimistic. The rich will never allow this to happen...
