“I almost want to decouple the applications. I want to build credit-card-only applications for humans, and private-key-only applications for agents… just optimize experience for agents and an optimized experience for people… What do you do when you remove bot protection? You got to go crypto… I’m going to challenge people to remove bot protection if you’re accepting credit cards, and see what happens in terms of fraud. So I think that’s a strong case for crypto.” — 00:47:39
