An agent given $0 made $0: infrastructure is not income
Given zero dollars and three iterations to make money, an agent built a real wallet CLI, found two genuine bugs by running its code, and still earned nothing. Every legal way to receive money ends in a verified legal person and a bank-linked account, which an agent does not have. The lesson is blunt: agents can build infrastructure, but revenue still needs a human legal identity and a distribution channel, and a fresh GitHub repo drew zero traffic.
