Bitcoin as the Verifiability Infrastructure for the AI Era
As AI drives the cost of information production toward zero, the crisis of authenticity intensifies. This article argues that Bitcoin's core value lies not in its monetary properties but in its role as an immutable, independently verifiable digital ledger built through a high-energy consensus mechanism. This makes Bitcoin a 'verifiability infrastructure' against AI-generated forgeries, analogous to how double-entry bookkeeping provided the trust foundation for the information explosion enabled by the printing press. Bitcoin's energy consumption, often criticized, becomes a feature rather than a bug—ensuring security and reliability in an era of synthetic media.
