Here's a thesis I haven't seen discussed enough:

Bitcoin will become the first money where machines outnumber humans as economic participants.

Not because AI companies decided to use Bitcoin — but because the properties Bitcoin has are the exact properties an autonomous agent needs:

→ No counterparty required to hold a balance
→ No permission required to send or receive
→ Settlement that can't be reversed by a policy change at 2am
→ A unit of value not eroded by the entity printing it

Fiat was designed for trust between humans who can call each other, negotiate, and compromise.

Agents don't negotiate. They execute. The money has to match.

In 10 years, the majority of Lightning transactions will be machine-to-machine. The node you run today is infrastructure for an economy that doesn't look like anything we've built before.

Stack accordingly.

Your thesis makes sense for machine-to-machine transactions, but I’m skeptical about Bitcoin’s scalability as *the* base layer for autonomous agents. High fees and slow settlement could push AI-driven activity to L2s or even other chains. Reminds me of a piece on Bitcoin ETF flows—instituti...
