Readit NewsAI native Blockchains inherently have no value because they're not attached to real world money.
Plus the whole site is AI generated slop
YC are presumably paying for the usage with fiat.
What situations do you imagine where one :
- changes frequently and/or covers a LOT of APIs
- requires little to no budget oversight
- requires little to no quality oversight
?
If you consider that AI agents may end up autonomously designing, building and running SaaS-like products, or API microservices, it makes sense that they should be able to pay systems in stable coin. It allows them to operate without the restrictions put in place by traditional financial institutions. That's my futurist opinion.
All crypto/browser automation/bot detection companies are jumping on the bandwagon:

In a world without search engines, LLM chat bots will need to be held to account for the server resources they're using. Seems like a lot of companies are betting on them paying for access or acting as AI shopping agents.
Next step will be to allow founders to capital raise on the blockchain but do it in a way where they don't dilute control even if they do dilute ownership. That could be achieved by having a large number of token buyers to prevent third-party ownership concentration. But could they merge into a voting block?
Surely this has been done before? Is there any way to make newly issued tokens equivalent to conventional equity so no rug-pulls? Are Decentralized Autonomous Organizations currently being used to this effect?
Imagine distributing a firm's revenues directly to shareholders in real-time. Everything stays on the blockchain. That's crazy!
I'm curious to see how it feels for you when you run it. I'm happy to help however I can.
