Jordi Visser argues AI agents, not humans, are the users crypto was built for, making them bullish for Bitcoin.
Over the past 15 years, the crypto space has constructed infrastructure for lending, tokenization, and stablecoins. According to Jordi Visser, the users it was designed for were never intended to be human. Speaking with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan, Visser presents his Ghost Rails thesis. He draws a parallel between the current period and the 14-year gap between Netscape's IPO and the App Store's launch, which finally made the internet widely accessible. Visser argues that AI agents β not retail wallets β represent the turning point for the agentic economy. He calls this development "extremely positive" specifically for Bitcoin. For those wondering what might finally disrupt the liquidity-driven narrative surrounding this asset class, Visser offers his perspective.
