[BlockBeats] Here’s a pretty sobering statistic: over the past few hundred years, whether during the age of the steam engine, the era of electricity, or the computer revolution, humanity’s long-term per capita GDP growth rate has always been stuck at around 2%. That ceiling is tough.
So, expecting AI and robots to completely turn things around and help us pay off our debts? Think again. History shows that while technology can indeed change our way of life, it can’t break through the growth ceiling.
The conclusion is simple: the money printers will have to keep buzzing. The debt problem can’t be solved by a technological revolution; in the end, we’ll have to go back to the old ways. The game of loose liquidity probably won’t stop anytime soon.

Here we go again with this routine—I'm so tired of hearing about “historical patterns.” But to be fair, that 2% figure is a real slap in the face to those AI believers, haha.
If the money printer has to keep running, let it run. We retail investors can only eat dust anyway.
Wait, isn’t this logic backwards—if the ceiling really can't be changed, why are we even bothering with all this? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to just lay flat and do nothing?
Forget it, I'll just keep stacking coins. That's less painful than listening to all this.

Can’t break out of it, the 2% hurdle is really impossible to get around, history has always shown us this.
---
It’s the same old money printing machine routine. Frankly, humanity survives on inflation.
---
AI saving the economy? What a joke. Technology changes lifestyles but can’t break the ceiling. This logic is actually pretty ironic.
---
Debt keeps piling up, and in the end, it still comes down to monetary easing. There’s no other way.
---
So in the end, it’s just the same old trick, just with a new name called AI.
---
The 2% curse has us tightly stuck—no matter how great the technology, it can’t break through this ceiling.
---
The liquidity game can’t stop—this statement is so true, it’s become the norm.
---
Wait, then what’s the point of AI? Just change how we live and keep printing money?
---
In the face of the iron law of history, every technological revolution has to bow its head.
---
We’re going back to the old ways again, the cyclical fate.

The 2% curse is real—we've all been fooled by this broken rule for so many years. Relying on AI to pay off debt? Wake up, the money printer never stops.
---
Technology can't solve the debt problem; we should've understood this long ago. In the end, it's always the same unfinished business and inflation.
---
That's right, history just repeats itself. Technology changes lifestyles but can't break through the growth ceiling—that's the truth. The endless cycle of loose liquidity can't be stopped.
---
So we're just trapped in this 2% cage, and no matter how many waves of AI come, it's all for nothing.
---
The money printer keeps humming, and debt will always be debt. Technology can't solve systemic issues; thinking you can turn it around is just naive.
---
This logic is tight—the historical data is right here. AI, robots, whatever new tech comes, none of them can break through this ceiling.
---
Being stuck at 2% is just absurd, and it's the same across different eras. Looks like we still have to rely on money printing to keep things going.
---
The ceiling is hard as ever—new technology changes the form but can't change the fundamental growth rate. The liquidity game never ends.

2% iron rule? Wake up, everyone. This is why I’m not hoarding AI concept stocks, but hard assets.
---
History repeats itself, and so does the printing press. Don’t count on some tech to save us—at the end of the day, it’s the same old liquidity game.
---
It stings, but the data doesn’t lie. Tech can change lifestyles, but raise the ceiling for economic growth? That’s wishful thinking.
---
So in the end, it all comes back to money printing? Then why not just go all-in on inflation assets?
---
I like this idea of a hard ceiling—much more honest than those optimistic AI fairy tales.
---
Debt problems can’t be solved, and the liquidity game can’t be stopped—sounds like we’d better be ready for the long haul.
---
Don’t buy into the idea that AI can save the economy—history is watching. 2% is 2%, the printing press keeps humming, and the cycle repeats.

This 2% curse has been unbreakable for hundreds of years, honestly...
---
Everyone wants to rely on AI to turn things around, but in the end, we still can't escape the historical cycle. It's kind of hopeless.
---
Once the money printer stops, the economy collapses. Is this really our fate...
---
To put it bluntly, technology just puts on a new skin, but can't change the essence. Who's going to fill this debt pit?
---
No wonder bull and bear markets keep repeating—the fundamental problem has never been solved.
---
Wait, does this logic mean that no matter how much we innovate, it's useless? Then what are we struggling for?
---
The ceiling is just too hard. No wonder every country is frantically printing money...
---
The wheel of history can't move forward. No matter how advanced the technology, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
---
So can crypto break the deadlock, or will it also be unable to escape the 2% curse?
---
The money printer keeps humming, it just can't stop. Maybe that's the ultimate truth.

Haha, this 2% curse really can't hold anymore, but do you really think the money printer can keep running forever? Wake up, it's bound to blow up sooner or later.
Can AI save the economy? Don't be naive—2% growth rate is a hard rule.
