All right.
Our final Bitcoin crypto story, perhaps one of the most important ones, and Alex, it's a nod to you.
Coinbase says agent economy has arrived.
AI agents are starting to become paying customers.
They're using crypto wallets to autonomously buy services.
And Brian, I think these numbers are correct.
On your network, agents have already done about 3.1 million transactions, a little bit over a million dollars worth of value transfer.
And I love your quote, make sure your business is ready to accept AI agents as customers.
And for all of our viewers out there, if you're in business, imagine your next customer might not be a human.
You know, agents can't currently get credit cards, but they can get access to crypto wallets.
And it's an exciting future.
So, Brian, in the future, I'm curious, do you think Coinbase might be known as payment rails for AIs rather than exchange for humans?
I mean, it feels like it's going to be vastly, you know, a thousand to one, a million to one, a billion to one agents over humans using crypto.
My Labradoodle will spend it all on steak.
Amazing.
And Brian, you know, this strategy potentially breaks all existing regulations and KYC assumptions.
So talking about liability, you know, if an AI, if an agent overpays or gets scammed or launders value, I mean, have you thought through, you know, liability issues?
It's like on eBay.
I mean, I love this.
Say, you know, don't do business with this agent.
