"We need crypto to be a computer, not a casino." Scott Kominers

Someone on HN (which is often quite crypto-skeptical) asked why exactly businesses are finding crypto and stablecoins useful. It's a very reasonable question. My response:

Today we will lead the world in commemorating the 24th anniversary of 9/11. Twenty-four years after the day that changed our world forever, we will come together to read aloud the names of those lost. Join us live: ow.ly/9SRg50WRic3

Google AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) supports cross-chain USDC agentic payments, building on x402 (http extension). I have long held the view that the velocity of payments in the world will grow exponentially (e.g. Global TPV) as we enter the era of agentic payments onchain.

x402 + Google just unlocked a new level for AI agents. Agents can actually pay each other now, with x402 powering the stablecoin rail inside Google’s new Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2). Really cool.
