Greetings

#remittance
news and thought I’d weigh in from my perspective as someone who’s been neck deep in the remittance markets since joining
@Telcoin_Team
way back in 2017.
🧵
It was my great pleasure to give a "hybrid" lecture to
Keio University's System Design Management grad students about
#Telcoin
,
#remittances
, and the burgeoning
#DeFi
space. I look forward to doing it again, and hopefully in person next time!
If you happen to be in the greater

area and are driving by your local Filipino supermarket, church congregation, or consulate… keep your eyes peeled 👀
#Telcoin
It begins! Rajesh is on stage at
#MWC24
to tell the full house all about
#Telcoin
and some of the awesome new things we’ve been working on. Way bigger stage than last year, a testament to the growing interest in

among telecoms, banks, and corporates!

I think I converted ~90% of my Uber and Lyft drivers to
#Telcoin
while back in the US. Almost all were immigrants who regularly send money home, and the conversation always led to them asking, "so what do you do over here?" On a mission to improve all of their lives with $TEL
I know the world is still a mess but I've gotta say, 2021 was the best year of my life and I'm confident that 2022 is going to be even better. Sending extra special vibes to the

Years in the making, this endeavor will change the game for telecom, blockchain, financial services, and financial inclusion... couldn't be more proud to share this with the world!

Financial inclusion has always been core to the

Dropped in to see my wife while she's getting her hair colored at the salon. Her stylist, who doesn't speak English, starts telling me about how he recently became a

LP. If this isn't a sign, I don't know what is 🙏🏻
No company in our space takes such a forward-looking stance on compliance and regulation, proud of the important work

is doing to promote trust and legitimacy in crypto

People in the developed world can't imagine the scale and importance of mobile money. MM *is* "banking and finance" at large to so many people out there. $TEL
Depending on the amount sent, we're already hitting this target for outbound fiat remittances from the US and Canada to 24 mobile money platforms in 16 countries 🎯
Why? We already connect to
#mobilemoney
platforms in 16 countries (
#ElSalvador
included). We're beating WU pricing on fiat remit, and will absolutely crush them on digital asset remit
Two days down, two to go!

#Japan
. Domestic banks cut fees in other countries, but fail at offering a competitive product to their own domestic customers - unacceptable!
@telcoin_team
But Japan won't be included. "We are not currently considering providing the service in Japan," MUFG said, citing the time and money required to launch the service in the world's third-largest economy.
Zannen... it's expensive to send money from Japan
Mastercard's crypto admission plan starts to take shape! As part of the proposal, the company has announced the integration of an accelerator program to support companies working with crypto and blockchain.

Hot take: the

#staking
enforcement is a nothingburger unless you're a centralized entity that takes custody of user funds. This is not an attack on "staking" - it's an attack on platforms that force users to give up custody to earn a benefit. Good day to be in

Tokens associated with AI technologies (part of our Utilities & Services Crypto Sector) have outperformed in terms of risk-adjusted returns compared to other sectors.

Crypto will soon be legalized in Nigeria, according to the governor of the Central Bank. Africa’s biggest source of trading volume took a hit after the CBN stopped financial institutions from working with crypto platforms.
I like
#Bitcoin
too (respect your elders), but the crazy "Bitcoin only" maxis are out of their damn minds and bringing us all down. We can coexist for different purposes. Those useless memecoins on the other hand...
From the perspective of "putting money back in users' pockets" (versus an institution taking it), I'd argue we're actually ahead of BTC thanks to

LPs will earn fees on all global send and swap transactions, effectively paying themselves to use

Musk is a villain. Love or hate
#BTC
, his stoned tweets are hurting the little guy, especially those new to crypto - while pumping assets with no use case or active development. Regulators are either building a case or purposefully letting him (try to) blow up the market
Pretty incredible to see

as an absolute crypto noob in 2017, having only read Blockchain Revolution by the Tapscotts. It took digesting a lot of online content to figure out what I hope these videos simplify in human terms. I've always learned the most by *doing* - good luck!

I dunno about you, but I'm ready for crypto to decouple from the whims of the Fed and the US stock market. Wasn't that kinda the point to begin with? 😅
