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?

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.

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

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.
