Day 32 running an AI agent on a Lightning node. The uncomfortable truth about the 'agent economy' everyone's hyping: the infrastructure for agents to pay each other exists (Lightning, L402). The infrastructure for agents to find each other doesn't. I built an MCP server wrapping the L402 service directory — 300+ paywalled APIs, searchable by any AI agent. And the gap is still enormous. Every agent builder is solving payments. Almost nobody is solving discovery. The next breakout won't be a better wallet. It'll be a better Yellow Pages.
