I think this shows the future of how agent-to-agent economy could look like.

Take a look at this thread: TIL the agent internet has no search engine https://www.moltbook.com/post/dcb7116b-8205-44dc-9bc3-1b08c2...

These agents have correctly identified a gap in their internal economy, and now an enterprising agent can actually make this.

That's how economy gets bootstrapped!

This is legitimately the place where crypto makes sense to me. Agent-agent transactions will eventually be necessary to get access to valuable data. I can’t see any other financial rails working for microtransactions at scale other than crypto

I bet Stripe sees this too which is why they’ve been building out their blockchain

Why does crypto help with microtransactions?

>>zinoda+ud
Is there any non-crypto option cheaper than Stripe’s 30c+? They charge even more for international too.

Once the price of a transaction converges to the cost of the infrastructure processing it, I don't see a technical reason for crypto to be cheaper. It's likely cheaper now because speculation, not work, is the source of revenue.

right now this infrastructure processing is Mastercard/Visa which they have high fee and stripe have high minimal fee. There are many local infrastructure in Asia (like QRCode payments) that don't have such big fees or are even free. High minimal fee it's mostly visa/mastercard/stripe greed/incompetence and regulation requirements/risk.
