## What Jamie wrote

Imagine this future… 

- You ask an agent to go perform a bunch of tasks for you.
- The agent has access to a Bitcoin Lightning account that you've funded with some satoshi
- The agent interacts with dozens of services and exchanges a few satoshis as needed, all automated
- Your task is returned and you have what you want

This future is where digital currency is required. This is the IndieWeb of the future.
