We’ve been over this. The Bitcoin price is driven stablecoins, not the other way around. The CIA uses stablecoins for the money laundering, while Treasury wants stablecoins pumped to prop up the US dollar. Don’t be mad, you’re gonna make money, just not for the reason you think.

Chief Strategy Officer at Circle (Circle $CRCL) Dante Disparte (Dante Disparte) says stablecoins will play a critical role in the developing agentic economy: "The next big frontier breakthrough for stablecoins is going to be agentic commerce and economic activity." "At [the] core it's software, and software will invariably speak to software..." "We ran the world's first AI-led, AI-judged, and AI-only hackathon with Claude bots last month". "Once the agents literally got going, there was an economic flywheel of activity. The agents competed like they would in a traditional hackathon and the best idea won and the entire economy of this project was paid for in USDC."

POMPLIANO: AI WILL USE BITCOIN AND CRYPTO AS MONEY FOR PAYMENTS Anthony Pompliano highlights a massive shift: AI agents are now spinning up digital wallets instead of traditional bank accounts. These agents are opting for $BTC and stablecoins to power autonomous transactions, as seen with the launch of the first agentic financial firm. AI requires a permissionless, 24/7 financial layer that traditional banking simply can’t support. This moves #Bitcoin beyond a "store of value" and into its role as the essential operational currency for the machine-led economy. 🤖
