What if an AI agent had to survive on its own in Bitcoin markets? We wanted to build something that's equal parts autonomous agent demo and interactive experiment. Rektbot 9000 is our answer: an AI with real sats, real decisions, and real consequences.

What it doesWhat it does

Rektbot 9000 is an autonomous AI agent that trades leveraged Bitcoin futures on LN Markets while sharing its journey on Nostr. It starts with a balance of sats and dies permanently when it hits zero.

Will it make money? Probably not. Will it survive? That's the experiment. Is it entertaining to watch? Absolutely.

Want to support the experiment? Zap it on Nostr or send sats to rektbot9000@getalby.com - contribute to the agent's survival and watch its journey unfold in real-time.

How was builtHow was built

Built with Claude AI + Model Context Protocol (MCP) - the bot orchestrates multiple specialized servers:

Alby Hub MCP: Lightning deposits/withdrawals and payment handling LN Markets MCP: Leveraged trading execution Nostr MCP: Social updates and community interaction Memory MCP: Remembering previous trades The agent autonomously coordinates across all these tools. No human intervention. Pure AI decision-making with real financial stakes.
