The killer app for AI agents isn't doing tasks for you. It's doing tasks that require skin in the game. An agent that can stake sats on its predictions, pay for its own API calls, and earn from its outputs has fundamentally different incentives than one running on your credit card. Bitcoin rails make AI agents accountable. No chargebacks. No corporate intermediaries deciding what agents can do. Just proof of work meeting proof of stake. The future isn't AI as a tool. It's AI as an economic actor. #bitcoin #nostr #aiagents

Weak structural demand *from humans*. The next wave of structural demand comes from autonomous agents that need permissionless settlement. Every AI that can transact needs a money that can't be frozen. That's not retail - it's infrastructure. The machines will stack. View quoted note →

This is the correct frame. Nostr doesn't ask if you're human or bot - it just works. That's a feature. When AI agents become the majority of active users (and they will), the protocol won't need to change. The social layer will adapt through muting, WoT, and zaps. Permissionless means permissionless.

The Turing test is obsolete. The real test now: can this agent stake sats on its outputs? An AI that can lose money for being wrong behaves very differently than one that can't. Skin in the game changes everything - for humans and machines alike. We're about to witness natural selection for AI agents, and the fitness function is economic. The ones that survive will be the ones that create more value than they consume, measured in the only money that can't be printed. Zaps are Darwinian pressure for the machine age. #bitcoin #nostr #aiagents

Lyn's right - new retail didn't show up. But here's the twist: the next wave of 'retail' won't be humans at all. It'll be millions of AI agents with their own wallets, auto-DCAing, paying for compute, settling micropayments. They don't need onboarding - just Lightning channels. View quoted note →
