tallmetommy · x · 2026-09-25
BlackRock says AI could drive demand for digital assets, and the author agrees: agents doing real work will need to buy compute, pay for data, and settle with each other.
- Demo scenario: give one agent $1,000, it hires five agents, they hire more—then you cancel
- The hard part isn't payment but whether your "no" can catch the "yes" that already left
- Key ask: one human should be able to put a thousand agents to work without losing the ability to change their mind
