An AI Just Bought Something Online — and Paid in Dollars Over Bitcoin

A joint milestone — Amboss × Lightning Enable
Picture this: a piece of software wants a weather forecast. It asks a weather service. The service says, "Sure — that'll cost you."
So the software pays for it. By itself. No credit card. No "sign up for an account." No human clicking a Buy button. It settles the bill, gets the forecast, and moves on — all in about a second, for a fraction of a penny.
Then it does the whole thing again — except this time it pays in dollar-pegged digital dollars, over the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
That actually happened this week. And we're pretty excited about it.
