Shone Anstey, Chairman and CEO of LQWD Technologies Corp, joins the Bitcoin for Corporations X Space to discuss how AI agents are creating explosive demand for the Lightning Network as the native payment rail of the internet. Shone breaks down why machines need instant, peer-to-peer micropayments, how LQWD is using Grok for channel rebalancing, the concept of agent identity on Bitcoin's mainchain, and why Lightning is the "eighth layer of the internet." He also shares insights on non-custodial Bitcoin yield for treasury companies, the parallels between today's AI boom and the 90s internet revolution, and what Treasury 2.0 looks like for Bitcoin operating companies.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Welcome02:00 – Shone's Open Cure Side Project and AI Passion08:15 – From the 90s Internet to Bitcoin: Shone's Background11:18 – Bitcoin as the Trust Protocol 14:41 – Why Lightning Beats Other Networks for AI Agents17:24 – Bitcoin Treasury Companies Earn Non-Custodial Yield27:15 – Onboarding AI Agents to Lightning29:07 – Agent Identity on Bitcoin37:17 – What the Future Looks Like for AI and Bitcoin48:07 – Digital Credit, Treasury 2.0, and Closing Thoughts#Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #AIAgents #LQWD #BitcoinTreasury #AgenticWeb #Micropayments #Layer2 #BitcoinForCorporations #CryptoAI #Web3 #OpenSource #BitcoinYield #LightningPayments #MachineLearning #BitcoinAdoption #TrustProtocol #DigitalEconomy #Fintech #BitcoinMining
