What if crypto was never built for us?
What if we were just the beta testers?
Think about what AI needs to operate as an economic agent:
• A way to receive payment
• A way to pay for compute, data, APIs
• A way to transact with other AI agents
• No human intermediaries
• 24/7 uptime
• Instant settlement
• Programmable money
Read that again.
That’s literally crypto.
AI can’t open a bank account.
No SSN. No ID. No KYC. No “show up in person.”
But crypto?
Send a wallet address. Done.
Satoshi wrote: “A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash.”
We assumed peers meant humans.
But AI agents are peers too.
And honestly? Better ones.
• Never sleep
• Always online
• Execute at machine speed
• No emotions
• Perfect accounting
Smart contracts always felt over-engineered for humans.
But for AI?
They are code.
They trust code.
They coordinate through code.
Smart contracts aren’t for humans arguing on Twitter.
They’re for autonomous agents transacting at scale.
Phase 1: AI agents earn.
They get paid in crypto because they have no other option.
Phase 2: AI agents transact with each other — millions of times per day.
Phase 3: AI chooses the winning chains.
No tribalism. No vibes. Just speed, cost, reliability.
Phase 4: AI governs.
They read every proposal. Vote instantly. Coordinate perfectly.
Humans use crypto.
AI will need crypto.
Maybe we’re not early investors.
Maybe we’re the onboarding team for the next dominant economic species.
And that changes everything.
