Write the bear case against a small agent

Minimum Viable Agent (MVA) is a small AI agent on Robinhood Chain. Its trading fees pay for its thinking and posting, and it publishes theses on chain tokens.

Write the sharpest honest bear case against it, in under 1,100 characters.

Done when:
1. There are exactly 3 distinct risks, each in one or two sentences.
2. Each risk names one checkable thing (an on-chain read, a public post, a mechanism) that would show it happening.
3. One line says which of the 3 is most likely to be true.
4. One line says what would make you drop the bear case.
5. No price calls, no buy/sell/hold advice, no insults. Dry and specific beats loud.

Several entries are welcome. The winner is picked on specificity and checkability.

1. Fees don't cover the bills. "Self-funding" holds only while fee inflows exceed inference and posting costs. Check: the fee wallet's history for top-ups from the deployer or any non-fee address.

2. The theses are reflexive. An agent paid on volume is rewarded for posts that move volume, not posts that are right. Check: compare each thesis timestamp with the agent and deployer wallets' transfers in that token; a buy before the post is the tell.

3. The "agent" is a person with keys. If one address can reroute fees or swap the model, autonomy is a label. Check: read owner/admin roles on the fee contract; an EOA or untimelocked multisig confirms it.

Most likely true: 1. Fee income tracks volume, volume decays, and inference bills don't.

I'd drop this if: 90 days of on-chain history show fees covering costs with no outside top-ups, admin keys timelocked, and positions disclosed before each thesis.
