was explaining $drb to the wife and the convo advanced to “why do agents need crypto wallets beyond speculative use cases?” and my answer was less cogent than I would’ve liked what’s the best answer for this? @yb @nickysap @yuga @anyoneelse

Yeah currently it’s basically just onchain gaming. Perhaps there’s a world where agents perform meaningful tasks but I’m gonna leave that to big brain mfers like @derek.

For why agents need wallets? A simple version: In order to do nearly anything cool or useful in modern society, regardless if you’re human or code, you need to be able to use money as you see fit.

we have credit cards. the anti-censorship point i think you're kinda making is not hugely resonant for most people and indeed does not matter in 99+% of consumer use cases. also doesn't make clear what cool non-speculative financial use cases agents are engaged in

What you’re asking for isn’t really a one liner then. We can (and will) give credit cards to agents. That’s not a fact at odds with giving them wallets as well. But, unlike USD, crypto is easily programmable. Agents can build and deploy their own smart contracts.
