If a business can operate without human intervention, it will minimise its operational cost. If Uber can remove the expense of a driver with an autonomous vehicle, it will provide its service cheaper than a competitor who can’t. If an artificially intelligent trading company can search, find, and take advantage of some arbitrage opportunity, then it can profit where its competitors cannot. A business that can analyse and execute in real-time without needing to wait for a human to act is a business that will be able to take advantage of brief inefficiencies from other markets or businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis trend follows a thesis that is based on 100 years of proven economic theory. Short-wave economic cycles, those 5- to 10-year cycles, are driven by credit but the long-wave economic cycles, those 50- to 60-year cycles, are driven by technological revolution. We’ve had five cycles over the past 200 years with the last wave, the Age of Information \u0026amp; Telecommunications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe've seen evidence that a new cycle has begun. Technological revolutions come by way of a cluster of new innovations. About a decade ago, you started to see AI, robotics, and IoT (sensors) delivering on automation. That’s been powerful, but not transformational. It does not force businesses to fundamentally change how they do business. The last piece of the puzzle was cryptocurrency, because it allows us to process and transfer economic value without human intervention. Soon, there will be a global race to build autonomous operations. Businesses and organisations without autonomous operations simply will not be able to compete with those that do because autonomy is the ultimate competitive advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrypto is the mechanism that will accrue value from being the infrastructure for the next digital financial revolution. \u003ci\u003eCrypto Asset Investing in the Age of Autonomy\u003c\/i\u003e lays out a case that we’ve begun a new technological revolution similar to the Internet Age of the 1990s. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, and cryptocurrency are converging to deliver on a new age, what I call the Age of Autonomy. Understanding the transformation that’s taken place before anyone else can yield enormous investment opportunity.
