Gold is not naturally the ultimate form of wealth. At least in some Mesoamerican civilizations, it did not always sit at the top of the value hierarchy. Hacash is similar today: the market knows it, trades it, speculates on it, but has not yet truly treated it as money by default. In crypto today, BTC is closer to a store of value anchor, stablecoins are closer to settlement rails, and Hacash is still viewed more as a high-upside risk asset. But just as the Age of Exploration amplified the global settlement role of gold and silver, the rise of the AI economy may amplify the role of a different kind of money. My view: when AI agents begin to own assets, make payments, and settle transactions at scale, Hacash may have a chance to move from an investment asset to a native settlement currency.
