The cheat code with @Square isn’t paying with Bitcoin, it’s paying on Bitcoin. Over 4 million merchants can now get paid instantly from anywhere onchain, with everything settled on the motherchain.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with @BitcoinArchive while in Lugano. We talked about why Bitcoin is the only neutral network fit to become the Internet of Money, stablecoins, @spark, Grid, global money movement and so much more.

The fact that some US states don’t require showing an ID to vote is totally insane. I can’t think of any other major democracy where this is true.

My new favorite “impress your friend” thing to do on weekends is showing off @SoFi’s new, realtime, ultra-cheap international payment experience. I show 🇺🇸 to 🇲🇽, on a weekend (other banks can’t do it), and the $ magically gets to MX in 2 seconds. Built on invisible Bitcoin.
