skeptics love these 'debunk' style questions 
but they're almost always asking the wrong question:

>why does it need a token/chain?
- it's not a 'need' question
- *can* it have a token/chain?

>why can't agents use stripe API over crypto?
- it's not a 'can' question
- *would* they use stripe over crypto?

whole point of agents is autonomy and speed

stripe api doesn't really make sense as the ceiling on autonomy is a single party blocking you, then a human has to come and figure it out with stripe support

crypto = full autonomy
