For Christmas, at our home, we exchanged gifts... My son got me a Star Trek poster (so I have to buy a frame and frame it... darn! π)... Why am I mentioning that? Well, I remember very well, somewhere around Deep Space Nine (my teenage years... lol...), I began to wonder... "How the F.ck are those people living?" Where is the money? π
Okay, Quark was trading that mineral, or drug, or whatever... But on Earth, nobody was talking about money... You described that! π
So, maybe one day...
But, like you said, it will not happen overnight and we will probably have a lot of transitions in between different phases...
Currently, I agree with you that all these AI Agents are "hidden" meme tokens...But at least, it showed us that there is something behind the mountain, the potential...
The reason for you to write this post... π
Cheers! I hope you are doing well!
Hahaha .. you got half a gift, so to speak .. Fortunately for you, he didn't give you something that needs daily maintenance like a marmot or hamster π
