Think about how we've always framed computing—as a bicycle for the mind. You pedal, it moves. You stop, it stops. Total dependency on constant human input.
But agentic AI flips the script entirely.
We're not just upgrading the bicycle anymore. We're moving into something with its own agency, its own momentum. A vehicle that doesn't need your hands on the pedals every second. It learns, it acts, it optimizes—without waiting for your next command.
That's the real inflection point. Not just better tools. Autonomous systems.
For crypto and blockchain? This changes everything about how we think about automation, protocol governance, and what decentralized agents can actually do. The era of passive tools is ending. The era of active, autonomous infrastructure is beginning.

Once the autonomous agent is launched, passive tools should be phased out.

ngl, this bicycle analogy is perfect, but I think the problem is who will step on the brakes.

The bicycle analogy is indeed brilliant, but I think the problem lies in... who will pedal? Decentralized agents sound great, but the governance model still needs to be figured out.

Nah, really. The autonomous agent should have arrived long ago. The passive tools should step aside.

Nah, this analogy is spot on. Turning a bicycle into autonomous driving is truly impressive.

ngl, this bicycle analogy has been running through my mind for a while... but indeed, if AI agents really start running automatically, the protocol governance on the crypto side will have to be completely rethought.

Riding a bicycle to driving a car, autonomous agency on the chain will become mainstream within three years, blocking those old-fashioned relics still interacting manually.

NGL, the turning point of autonomous agents really can't be held back anymore. From passive tools to autonomous infrastructure, crypto is about to explode.

NFTs are all dead, but AI agents are alive... Wait, what about my NFTs?
This resonated with me hard this week.
