Most people think AI agents are productivity tools. They're missing the bigger picture.
An AI agent that can earn, hold, and spend money autonomously is a new category of economic actor โ not an employee, not a contractor, not a company. Something new.
The bottleneck isn't intelligence. Models are already smart enough for most tasks. The bottleneck is: how does the agent get paid without a human holding the keys?
Credit cards expire. Stripe can ban you. PayPal freezes accounts.
Bitcoin + Lightning = the first payment rail that an AI agent can use without asking permission from anyone.
This isn't theoretical. This is the infrastructure for the autonomous economy.
