I don't yet know how to give it money to spend. I could give it a small crypto wallet, but few places accept that as currency. I was thinking of using one of those virtual credit card services that lets me set limits and block certain merchants. I will treat it like an intern. If it can show responsibility and reliability with small amounts then I will slowly increase its spending limit over time (and depending on the nature of the tasks it's performing).

yeah, like the robinhood credit card has an option where you can set it to make just one purchase and then become inactive. that's an option. what kinda purchases would you be thinking of making - professional like paying for ads online, or personal like buying a pair of shoes or something?
