Who Was Crypto Designed For? An Expert Argues It’s Not Humans

Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, posits that the persistent friction in cryptocurrency is due to a fundamental mismatch: its deterministic architecture is better suited for Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents than for humans. He notes that despite early visions, even crypto-native firms rely on traditional legal contracts because blockchain systems are not structured around human fallibility, unlike the centuries-refined traditional banking system. Features like long addresses, blind signing, and immutable transactions are counter-intuitive and terrifying for humans, who inevitably make mistakes. Qureshi suggests that AI agents, which do not fatigue and can perfectly verify contract logic, are the true natives of crypto, viewing its rigidity as a well-written specification. He predicts the future interface will be a 'self-driving wallet' mediated by AI, enabling a machine-to-machine economy, similar to how GPS required smartphones. While acknowledging that legal liability remains a human concern, he concludes that the 'failure modes' of crypto were never bugs, but signs that humans were the wrong primary users.
