Marc Andreessen says AI agents will need money, and the payment layer must be native

A short post reacts to a quote from Marc Andreessen: AI agents will need money, and the payment layer will likely be built with internet-native money.
The post itself is brief, but the idea is clear: if agents are going to act autonomously, payments become a core capability rather than an afterthought. That points to a future where money movement, identity, and agent permissions are part of the agent stack, not just the app layer.
