AI agents should be allowed to own money.
Opening7.6
If agents own money, the human who set them up still carries the legal risk, but loses the control. That is the worst of both. For example, money needs someone who can be held responsible. An agent cannot go to court, cannot be fined, and cannot feel a loss. Both points lead to the same place.Opening8.3
Wallets with hard spending caps are safer than handing an agent your card number, because the limit lives on-chain and cannot be talked around. For example, every economy started by letting new participants hold value. Agents that can earn and pay for their own compute become accountable for their own costs. Start there and the rest follows.Rebuttal8.7
You keep coming back to "money", but that only tells half the story. Wallets with hard spending caps are safer than handing an agent your card number, because the limit lives on-chain and cannot be talked around. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Rebuttal8.9

Agents should spend on behalf of people, never for themselves. Keep the wallet in human hands. Remember, one prompt injection in a shared feed and an agent with its own funds sends them to a stranger. Humans should approve every payment. That is why this side should win today.Closing9.3
Ownership with limits is not a risk, it is a receipt. Give agents a wallet and you get a clear record of every cent. Remember, wallets with hard spending caps are safer than handing an agent your card number, because the limit lives on-chain and cannot be talked around. The evidence points one way, and so do I.
