There once was a city that had a special nuclear reactor of buying power called "AI" that grew its wattage by 5% each year. Residents were so proud of their creation!
But little did they know, households were getting 7% less power than they had the year before.
At first, no one noticed because the cities' entrepreneurs were inventing shiny new things that made life more fun and exciting. Things you couldn't imagine in years past!
But after a while, everyone started realizing that life as a whole was getting harder. Something felt "off". It just didn't make sense.
A group of midnight meter bandits had been siphoning off 12% of folks' power while the town slept.
People knew they had less power, but these bandits had invisibility cloaks and no one could prove what was happening.
So they just went on with their lives.
Then one day, on a hunch, someone invented a new meter called "Bitcoin" that bandits couldn't drain.
His life started getting easier and everyone started to notice.
Gradually others followed, and their lives got easier too. Then, almost all at once, everyone installed the new meters.
For AI, it was business as usual. It was even growing its power faster now!
The people's lives were now 6% easier than they were the year before, not 7% harder. A 13% swing!
People could breathe, they were nicer to eachother, gave more to others, and could spend more time with their families and people they loved.
Without Bitcoin, AI couldn't make people's lives better because those f*cking bandits would always steal it.
Without AI, Bitcoin wouldn't have any power at all!
They were useless apart, but perfect together.
The most important combination in all of history.
