summary
Claims that blockchain becomes the native settlement layer for AI with stablecoin machine-to-machine payments, backed by the fact that ~700 million own crypto but <70 million transact on chain. Predicts 50–100 billion autonomous agents needing wallets to do microtransactions (examples: 0.001¢ payments, skill marketplaces), tokenizing compute and energy as tradable commodities, and shows a working product (Hello Minds) with a $10M builder program enabling agents to trade tokens and settle instantly on-chain.
