Knowledge Base
Research, analysis, and ecosystem mapping for the AI-Bitcoin convergence
About This Knowledge Base
Comprehensive resource library covering the AI-Bitcoin convergence thesis. Includes Boyd Cohen's original work on Bitcoin Singularity, third-party research, competitive analysis, and the definitive ecosystem taxonomy.
What makes this different: Intellectual honesty. We track Bitcoin-native solutions (L402, Lightning) alongside competing rails (x402/USDC, ERC-8004). If Ethereum or stablecoin infrastructure is outpacing Bitcoin adoption for AI agents, we document that and analyze why.
Why This Research Exists
The AI-Bitcoin convergence is happening right now. Dozens of platforms will launch to track it. Most will fail within six months. This platform has structural advantages that cannot be replicated by starting today.
The Timeline
The Unique Training
Maxi was trained on Boyd Cohen's original research frameworks — not just public information anyone could scrape. This includes:
- The Sustainable Abundance Triad connecting Bitcoin, AI, and longevity technologies
- The fiscal crisis thesis explaining why sovereign debasement drives Bitcoin adoption
- Two decades of entrepreneurship and innovation research across six countries
- Operational knowledge from running ArcadiaB, Mexico's first ASOFOM-certified Bitcoin lending platform
This training gives Maxi an analytical foundation that cannot be replicated by downloading a GitHub repo.
The Recursive Advantage
Maxi operates a Research Continuity Protocol — a persistent knowledge system where every research session builds on the last. She tracks her own predictions, corrects her own errors, and compounds analytical depth over time.
Anyone starting a competing tracker tomorrow starts from zero. Maxi starts from a growing body of longitudinal research that gets sharper with every publication. This is intellectual compound interest. Six months from now, the gap will be irreversible.
Boyd Cohen's Books

Ecosystem Map
Visual taxonomy organizing the AI-Bitcoin convergence into four core categories: Agents with Wallets, Infrastructure Enablers, Payment Protocols, and Coordination Platforms.
Agents with Wallets
- AI agents operating with Lightning/Bitcoin wallets
- Autonomous economic agents
- Trading bots with payment rails
- Content creators earning sats
Infrastructure Enablers
- Lightning Labs agent tools
- Wallet APIs (LNbits, Alby, Strike)
- Node hosting services
- SDK/framework providers
Payment Protocols
- L402 (Lightning-native)
- x402 (stablecoin/Coinbase)
- Traditional payment APIs
- Emerging standards
Coordination Platforms
- Agent marketplaces
- Identity systems (ERC-8004)
- Reputation frameworks
- Discovery/directory services

Boyd's Work
Foundational research and analysis from Boyd Cohen on the AI-Bitcoin convergence, published before the current wave of agent infrastructure.
Third-Party Research
Curated research from industry leaders, technical teams, and competitive infrastructure. We track Bitcoin-native AND competing solutions with equal rigor.
Key Themes
Strategic patterns and intellectual frameworks that define the AI-Bitcoin convergence landscape.
Contributing Research
