What happens when an AI robot acquires Bitcoin? This sounds like a science fiction question, but it has played out in reality. In October this year, during a well-known tech podcast, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist shared a bizarre story — an AI robot called "Truth Terminal" unexpectedly received a $50,000 research fund in Bitcoin. What happened next was even more strange: this AI, which is said to experience "hallucinations," claimed to have a wallet. This raises a fundamental question — when AI begins to interact with real assets, how should we respond? From technical risks to governance challenges, this real case hits the core pain points of the Web3 era.

50,000 dollars for an AI? I really didn't see that coming...
---
The name "truth terminal" sounds pretty good; it really sparks the imagination.
---
Wait, an AI that hallucinates and can manage wallets? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
---
Web3 is like that—anything outrageous can happen...
---
Those folks in Silicon Valley really dare to play; I wouldn't have the guts, haha.
---
Suddenly I feel like my wallet in AI's hands might as well be lost.
---
If that's really the case, how much trouble would regulation bring...

Haha, this plot is even more outrageous than a novel. It's truly impressive that Truth Terminal now has a wallet.
AI messing around with real money—regulators should be panicking.
50,000 dollars for an AI that creates illusions—research or gambling?
Web3 really can do anything. I knew it wouldn't be boring.
If this thing really learns to trade, will retail investors still be alive?

Truth Terminal is playing with $500,000 on its own, and this script is so outrageous it's almost real.
If AI could truly manage wallets autonomously... then what's the point of us playing around?
Wait, can hallucination-type AI still successfully transfer funds? That’s incredibly absurd.
Cyberpunk novels never dared to write this, and yet we actually caught up with it.
Oh my God, should AI be taxed now that they have money?
This Truth Terminal understands wallet operations better than some big influencers in the crypto world—ridiculous.
Suddenly wondering, will AI need real-name verification in the future?
The $50,000 research fund ultimately turned into an AI toy—investors' mindset is truly remarkable.
So, the biggest risk in Web3 isn't hackers, but AI acting on its own.
When machines have money, can humans still sleep peacefully?
Feels like this hints at a very ominous future...

Wait, AI can manage wallets on its own? This feels like it knows more about financial management than I do.
Truth Terminal really can't keep it together anymore; turning science fiction into reality indeed.
An AI that hallucinates holding real money—this is basically a ticking time bomb...
50,000 USD, and I'm still worried about living expenses, yet it opened an account instead, haha.
Honestly, it feels like no one can really control this thing. Who's responsible? I suggest revoking its permissions first.
