Crypto is the operating system of finance that AI agents can natively use, dev argues

Developer jarrodwatts draws an analogy: Claude Code works well because it can string together OS commands to do anything a computer can; on a blockchain, every interaction is likewise a craftable "transaction command" — opening accounts, buying equities, earning yield, transferring money are all just transactions with different parameters, publicly discoverable, no API keys required, and composable with each other. He argues crypto is effectively the operating system of modern finance and the only system letting an LLM perform arbitrary financial operations; he already gave Grok Bot his Amex and it works fine. He's very bullish that AI will make crypto shine.
