Are the stablecoin cucks thinking about payments differently than bitcoiners?Are the stablecoin cucks thinking about payments differently than bitcoiners?

Stripe launched their super compliant stablecoin blockchain thingie, Tempo, last week (#1456361) and part of the announcement was that Tempo's machine payments protocol sponsored a hackathon.

I was curious what sort of projects people who are in to this kind of stuff would build. Mostly I wanted to know, "Are they thinking about machine payments differently than bitcoiners?"

Today, I found a handy list of the projects (at least many of them) that were part of this hackathon.

I didn't see anything here that looked novel to me. Mostly it looks like a bunch of kind of boring use cases: ai agents order food, ai agents summarize books, lots of agent swarms and self-replicating agents, even an onchain MMORPG (I thought we put that bad idea to bed). Maybe the AI people will notice some novel ideas.

The one thing that did catch my attention was a payroll app that described itself this way:

Borderless enterprise payroll on Tempo L1. AI agents execute compliant batch payments via MPP, employees receive in 0.4s, and spend via Visa.

I'm not sure why one needs agents to do this, but I am curious how such a thing will work on Tempo. I want to answer the question: is it really going to be any better than banking and payments?

Keeping in mind that it was a hackathon project, I visited the little website that was spun up for it:

First, let's look at what they promise:

This is getting closer to the normie dream, isn't it? Easy payments to people all over the world. Hold one balance, pay everyone everywhere...as long as they aren't on an OFAC sanctions list.

Compliance is a huge part of this. But what gets me is that many governments are currently using the financial system to do tax enforcement on their serfs. How will that work here? My impression is that this is a significant chunk of where the clunkiness of our banking system comes from (afterall, what is anti-money-laundering but tax enforcement?).

These two bits from their FAQ were interesting:

I know that these kinds of projects are very off-putting to most bitcoiners, but I think it is intersting to look at what our enemies are planning.
