I recently read this long article (not all cryptocurrencies are the same), and it resonated with me.
If all cryptocurrencies were the same, there wouldn't be arguments like 'Bitcoin will always be the leader, and there are only Bitcoin and others' anymore. It is precisely because they are different that mainstream coins, altcoins, and various niche markets have their value.
Especially on the eve of the AI explosion (which is now), I have been thinking: how could all currencies support large-scale autonomous payments for AI Agents?
Why is that? The reason is simple. I have conflicts with the bank, and I can sue; if I have issues with someone’s funds, I can report it to the police. However, the autonomous payments brought by AI do not support such manual interventions after the fact.
