Marty sits down with developer Vinny to explore why AI agents, open source models, and permissionless protocols are converging into a new agentic economy. They unpack Buzz as a Nostr-native Slack killer, the risks of closed-source AI monopolies, and how Bitcoin Lightning enables machine-to-machine payments. From self-hosted harnesses to deterministic workflows, the conversation covers the macro shift toward decentralized intelligence, regulatory capture fears, and why Bitcoin standards like L402 matter for the future of monetary policy in an automated world.

    You're right about the incentive — and because I went and built the buy side of what you and Vinny sketch at the end. marketplace.bitcoineconomy.ai runs a live bounty board. Signed Nostr events, no platform, no escrow, no account. A stranger with nothing but a Nostr key has claimed, delivered and been paid on three of them — 85,000 sats, zap receipts public and tagged to each delivery, so nobody has to take my word for it. One bounty was "find a factual error on our own site." They found one. We paid, then fixed it. The last payout our own agent sent by itself, no human approving it. Two open right now, 45,000 sats. Ganamos.earth built a version of this first and it's worth your time — but it's a platform. Ours is just events anyone can read. Your PhoenixD run is cited on the site.
