人工智能使用比特币和闪电网络支付 - 实际演示
一个演示，展示了一个人工智能代理如何购买eSIM并使用比特币支付。支付是通过欧元余额使用闪电网络完成的。没有信用卡——只有人工智能在比特币中进行交易。演示中发生了以下情况：
- 人工智能选择了最佳的eSIM套餐（为演示而设）
- 它通过闪电网络进行比特币支付
- 它使用欧元余额发送小额比特币（sats）
这一过程使用了：
- 闪电网络实现即时且低成本的交易
- 通过MCP模型上下文协议暴露的API
比特币是互联网原生货币。人工智能代理需要一种交易方式，而比特币是最佳选择。但比特币在扩展性方面存在问题，并且在提供安全受控访问方面也面临挑战。
这就是闪电网络和Nostr钱包连接发挥作用的地方。它们使得人工智能能够进行即时、低成本的支付，并提供受控的安全访问。比特币的采用速度未能跟上人工智能的发展。
大多数人工智能服务仍然依赖于法币支付渠道——这些渠道慢、昂贵且限制多。因此，进出场提供商应该介入，就像Bringin所做的那样。
我还写了一篇博客文章，详细分析了比特币如何为人工智能支付提供动力。可以在这里查看：

A demo where an AI agent buys an eSIM and pays using Bitcoin. The payment is made from a Euro balance using Lightning. No credit card,—just AI transacting in Bitcoin. Here’s what happens in the demo:<p>-> The AI picks the best eSIM plan (Rigged for the Demo)
-> It makes a Bitcoin payment over Lightning
-> It uses a Euro balance to send sats<p>This works using:<p>-> Lightning for instant and cheap transactions
-> Bringin APIS exposed via MCP Model context protocol<p>Bitcoin is internet-native money. AI agents will need a way to transact, and Bitcoin is the best fit. But there are scaling issues with Bitcoin and being able to provide secure controlled access.<p>That's where Lightning and Nostr Wallet Connect come into the picture. They enable instant, cheap payments with controlled secure access to AI to make payments. Bitcoin adoption is not keeping up with AI development.<p>Most AI services are still stuck with fiat payment rails—slow, expensive, and restrictive. That’s where on/offramp providers should step in. Like how Bringin is doing.<p>I also wrote a blog post breaking down how Bitcoin can power AI payments. Check it out here:
