Researchbitcoin Audio course of select deepDivesThe digital economy is shifting from a platform-centric model toward a decentralized agentic web, where autonomous AI acts as the primary consumer and laborer. Because traditional human interfaces and fiat payment systems create friction for machines, value is migrating toward sovereign protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr that allow for permissionless, instant micropayments and censorship-resistant data exchange. Legacy software companies face an innovator’s dilemma, as their ad-based models and subscription fees are disrupted by AI agents that bypass visual interfaces to prioritize raw data and automated outcomes. Consequently, the report argues that future market dominance requires hyper-vertical integration, where winners control the entire stack from specialized hardware to proprietary data to escape the commoditization of general-purpose software. Ultimately, the text defines a great bifurcation between obsolete, high-friction "walled gardens" and a new infrastructure built on machine-native economic rails.#GreatInversion#AgenticWeb#SaaS2#ServiceAsASoftware#SoftwareIsDead#PlatformDecline#MachineEconomy#BitcoinLightning#M2MPayments (Machine-to-Machine)#L402#Micropayments#AgenticFinance#NostrProtocol#SovereignWeb#DecentralizedData#CensorshipResistance#AgenticSchism#VerticalIntegration#SovereignVerticals#AIHardware#DataFlywheel#CapExTrap
