Literally described the use case - a medium of exchange between agentic entities at massive global scale

Yeah, but doing it with non-anonymous crypto just seems worse in every way than doing it with a database?

  • Fail to see how you can do it with a database with existing financial rails - the costs are too high

    • All the same financial rails apply to crypto - enforcement is just lagging a bit.

      E.g., you could do what World of Warcraft does - Gold can be earned/exchanged in game, and can also interact with the real world in nebulous ways. Using the hyper advanced technologies of relational databases and ignoring financial legislation, they have enabled ultra-high-throughput microtransactions, with the added benefit of not spraying the public ledger on to the desk of every law enforcement agency on the planet.
