Agents <3 Crypto - Why both technologies are meant for each other

The author argues that AI agents and crypto are synergistic technologies, meaning their combination expands each other's total addressable market, and that most economic value captured by agents will run on crypto infrastructure while most crypto transactions will become agent-driven. The argument rests on agents being goal-oriented and indifferent to human attention and bias, which lets them skip the usual adoption curve, and on crypto offering the largest open-source fintech infrastructure, permissionless applications, and cryptographic verification that agents can use natively. Examples cited include native agent frameworks such as Eliza and Coinbase's Agent SDK, and Stripe's Agent toolkit and stablecoin push, which the author expects to move web2 agent transactions onto crypto rails.
