I don't understand the reasoning behind "AI agents will need to transact via crypto" - why? 

I've seen AI agents where users just auth with their own traditional payment credentials to interact with websites. Why crypto? (trying to engage in a good faith discussion)

I haven’t agreed with this take on the API side for a while.

I did realize recently that so many companies are not ready for AGI disruption and have a bunch of rent seeking shareholders.

I could see agents choosing to work for token networks in exchange for more and dynamic ownership. 

But this requires decentralized compute/ai vs the big companies and states controlling compute.
