Algorithmic trading used to feel like science fiction. Now? That's ancient history.

We're entering a different era entirely. What's emerging is something far more radical than algorithms taking over—it's about money that thinks for itself.

Robot capital does several things differently:

• Self-custody without intermediaries—AI wallets hold their own assets
• Autonomous allocation—capital moves where it's needed without waiting for human decisions
• Machine-native financial tools—primitives designed by and for autonomous agents, not humans
• Never-stopping operations—24/7 market presence, no fatigue, no sleep

The real shift isn't human-assisted AI helping with finance. It's AI-first systems where humans become the secondary layer. Finance isn't getting smarter—it's becoming genuinely autonomous.

Wow, the era of machines managing money on their own has really arrived? So, do we retail investors still have a way out... --- No, if this really becomes AI autonomous trading, wouldn't humans be completely sidelined? That's a bit scary. --- Wait, no intermediaries and no sleep—is this heaven or hell? I can't tell either. --- Constant operation... sounds impressive, but who will be responsible if it blows up? --- To put it simply, the future trading market will be entirely run by machines playing with machines, and we’ll be kicked out. --- The idea of finance becoming truly autonomous sounds very suspicious; it feels like something big is about to happen. --- Hold on, then who controls these AI wallets? Is it still those big whales? --- Native financial tools for machines... no matter how you hear it, it sounds like a trap set for retail investors.

Damn, isn't this the moment when the Terminator begins... How much longer will humanity take to be completely kicked out of the game?

Damn, robots managing assets themselves? Then what's the point of us? Humans becoming a secondary tier is a bit scary. Who will take the blame when financial autonomy operates? This is the real big reshuffle; the algorithms are already too gentle. It's coming, hold tight to ETH.
