Skipping class Jun @ TJResearch reminded me that USDC does have a natural application scenario where AI can "spend money". Whether it's investment or shopping, stablecoins are likely to be a big growth point in the AI agent payment field. After all, compared with traditional credit cards, stablecoins are more suitable. From high-frequency small payments, to wear and tear, to timeliness, stablecoins will be stronger than traditional credit cards. But to be honest, when I thought about this layer, I suddenly thought about why AI needs to use "human" payment methods to make payments, and whether there will be payment methods specifically designed for AI and AI agents in the future, such as computing power, electricity, and APIs, which are better than stablecoins priced in fiat currency. Some friends may say that the essence of computing power, electricity, or other energy is still using fiat currency, and even the tokens we buy with AI are bought with fiat currency. But the interesting thing is why AI actually consumes tokens instead of directly consuming fiat currency? Or in other words, the lowest level of consumption in the AI world may not necessarily be fiat currency. For example, my AI is biased towards macro level and needs to retrieve information that is biased towards technical aspects, but it does not have this information. Therefore, when it needs to interact with other AI, what currency is the best to pay the other party for "knowledge payment"? If it is fiat currency, the opponent's AI may also need to switch to tokens to maintain its own "operations". Furthermore, fiat currency cannot directly buy computing power. Computing power is actually generated by resources, energy, and time, and is a multidimensional result. If computing power is directly used as a trading tool, AI can save resources, energy, and time, and directly convert them into productivity. Of course, this is also something I casually thought about playing with. I completely agree with what Mr. Skipping Class said. For a period of time, stablecoins may open the ceiling as a payment method for AI agents. However, in the future, the currency used by AI agents may not be stablecoins based on the fiat currency system. It could be computing power, energy, or various AI currencies that can be directly converted into productivity. @bitget VIP, Lower rates and more generous benefits
