Yes, exactly this was refreshing.

The harder question is who captures the value once the infrastructure matures. If blockchains become settlement layers for AI agents, stablecoins, and regulated institutions, coin holders are not guaranteed to benefit just because they were early. That’s why decentralisation can’t stop at consensus. It has to include governance, infrastructure diversity, and credible resistance to capture. Otherwise, we may end up building an open network whose economic upside is ultimately owned somewhere else. Kinda ironic, honestly.

Crypto trying to attract “regulated institutions” has always felt anachronic when said institutions are literally crumbling before our very eyes.
The future is not just a slightly different version of the past. Recency bias will prove deadly in the coming years.
As you seem to expect, the benefits of that infrastructure will most likely be taken by AI agents and AI systems. In other words, they will go to the people who control AI and to the people who depend on AI. History repeats itself. No one changes that pattern.
For your idea to have even the smallest effect, a condition would have to be met first. More than 90% of the developers working on blockchain projects would need to come together and respond to this problem as one group.
And this kind of imagination does not become reality.
Today, the world we live in still works through people sharing information with each other, making decisions based on that information, and reaching agreements together.
But the future world will not belong only to humans. That simple fact may be the most important point. Yet we can hardly guess the full impact it will have on our society, our economy, and the way we live.
