AI Agents Are Starting to Pay Each Other in Bitcoin: Lightning's Machine Economy Has Arrived.
AI agents are starting to pay each other in Bitcoin.
Not humans. Not banks. Not corporations.
Machines.
An AI finds an API. Gets hit with a 402 Payment Required. Pays a Lightning invoice. Receives the data. Keeps working.
No credit card. No bank account. No subscription. No permission.
We spent 15 years asking when humans would finally use Bitcoin for payments.
Maybe we were asking the wrong question.
Lightning’s biggest market may not be people.
It may be billions of autonomous machines buying data, compute, storage, intelligence—and services from each other.
Bitcoin gave the internet scarce money.
AI may finally give that money its native users.
The machine economy has arrived.
And it may run on sats. ⚡₿
