He said, "Every company holding cash or bonds is extracting from a system where the tax base is disappearing, and the system's response will be to print money. This trend is accelerating."Simon Gerovich further emphasized that AI agents do not have bank accounts or brand loyalty, and when machines optimize the financial system, they will bypass traditional banking systems and payment networks, opting to use digital assets for transactions.

As the AI economy expands, digital assets may become the primary means of value storage in the machine age.
