AI agents need money that settles like code — final, global, unstoppable.

First principles:
AI will trade data, compute, energy, and services 24/7 in tiny payments.
Banks don’t scale for machines — permissions, reversals, borders, fees.
Machines need bearer money:
✔ Irreversible settlement
✔ No counterparty risk
✔ No gatekeepers
Bitcoin fits.
• Final settlement without permission
• 21M hard cap
• $29M/day at $65K)
• Lightning = instant, low-fee micropayments
Bottom line:
If machine commerce sustains net buying above new daily supply, issuance can’t expand.
Price has to adjust.
