    Note from the author: This is a fun summary, and thanks for selecting my book! The summary misses three critical assertions in the book regarding privacy: 1) Transactions are private as the state operates the engine that processes payment but does not know WHO made the payments. Names are not part of the data that the state processes. Name data is connected to the wallet and is cryptographically hidden, similar to cryptocurrencies. Your bank or, in some cases, a telecom company maintains your wallet identity data, which can only be accessed through a warrant. This system, in which the bank protects your privacy, is similar to what we have today with cards and checking accounts. Banks release this data only with a valid warrant. This is why CBDCs do not represent a slide into dystopia despite the UA-cam videos proclaiming otherwise. The AI summary's assertion that the state knows who is behind every payment with CBDCs is simply wrong. If this were true, I wouldn't support CBDCs either! Sadly, UA-cam videos get this wrong for the sake of inflammatory headlines whenever discussing CBDC. The truth is far more boring. 2) The summary also needs to highlight how all transactions for everyone in China are private below RMB 2000 (roughly USD 300). This is a similar system to the one promoted by the digital euro. No such guarantee can be made by WeChat Pay, Alipay or cards. 3) CBDCs, including the coming digital euro, will have higher degrees of privacy than the cards that we use today! Your card transactions represent the worst of both worlds as they are far from private and high cost! I make these points in the book and back them all with factual analysis that somehow got lost in the AI version. Aside from these critical details, I enjoyed the summary, and as an author, I hope it inspires listeners to read the book!

      As for your question, try these steps: 1. Get Your USDT Deposit Address from Binance Open the Binance app and log in. Go to Wallet > Spot Wallet. Select Deposit, then choose USDT. Select the network you want to use (e.g., ERC-20, TRC-20, or BEP-20). Make sure that the network you choose here matches the one you will select on OKX. Copy the USDT deposit address provided by Binance. 2. Withdraw USDT from OKX Open the OKX app and log in. Navigate to Assets, then select Withdraw. Choose USDT from your available assets. Paste the Binance deposit address you copied earlier. Select the same network as you chose on Binance (e.g., ERC-20 or TRC-20). This step is crucial to avoid losing your funds. Enter the amount of USDT you want to transfer. Review all details carefully, including the address and network, then confirm the withdrawal. Complete any necessary security verifications, such as two-factor authentication (2FA). 3. Wait for Confirmation

    An explosive GDP is beyond reality. GDP is the sum of all goods and services produced. The problem is: it takes time to produce real goods (houses, vehicles, food, etc). The goods require resources! I don't see "super intelligence" is even possible. AI is a super fast pattern predictor based upon a gradient optimization recognition process. It comes with the old computer saying GIGO. Then there is the problem with "complexity". Adding knowledge to an AI structure increases its complexity. Complexity does not grow at a linear rate. It increases at an exponential rate, and therefore is subject to the law of diminishing returns. The current AI LLMs are already seeing this effect. That sort of places a limit on the growth to a "super intelligence" level, at least with a continuation of the current AI tool structure. What will be needed as one TED talk professor (who identified the major problems with the current AI solutions) is a need to find a better way of building an AI tool. Until then, have fun imagining all of the possible futures. Maybe Nick used AI to make such predictions to feed his book's content! (from references to past social structures). Have fun.
