This map could soon make some individuals incredibly wealthy. Take a look...
Those dots mark something a self-made tech millionaire is calling the 'AI Superhighway' β a new kind of 'tollway' across America.
Now, this is not the kind of toll that YOU pay, it's paid by big tech companies.
When data has to move, that movement is not free. Every time AI "thinks," someone gets paid; that's the toll.
$758 billion in 'AI Tolls' is being paid out this year, up to $900 billion next year, and potentially another $3.6 trillion in the years to come.
According to Tim Bohen, a veteran trader and tech entrepreneur, all it takes is setting up a virtual 'AI Tollbooth' β right inside any standard brokerage account.
Tim just released a training session that walks you through the process step by step-in just a few minutes.
P.S. Big Tech is willing to spend enormous amounts of cash to access the 'AI Superhigway.'
Oracle says it will owe up to $16 billion, just for this year. Meta says it's looking at up to $72 billion. And Microsoft is on track to pay $80 billion in 'AI Tolls' in 2025.
Every new AI user means higher 'tolls' that need to be paid. Here's how to open a virtual 'AI Tollbooth' in any standard brokerage account.
