This is so great. Reminder that any @spark enabled wallet is compatible out of the box! The power of an open network in full display.

This feature will start to roll out tomorrow, allowing you to pay from @CashApp over bitcoin rails using your USD balance - no bitcoin required. This dramatically opens up the aperture of who can pay with bitcoin to our entire monthly user base of 58m - normies included.

Can't recommend reading 1929 by @andrewrsorkin enough. No one told the story of one of the most consequential crash in history from the angle of the main protagonists before. Fascinating read.

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.

I truly respect @river’s work ethic, product sense and focus on Bitcoin. That team has been chipping away for a while.

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.

The longer this government shutdown lasts for, the more people will realize A MUCH smaller Federal government is what we need. Ironic.

In case you’re wondering what the lag is between the beneficiary selection and the next screen, and the step before the final fee schedule is shown, it’s all the off-band communication between the sending and receiving bank for FX and compliance powered by @umastandard

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.

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down. @SenateDems could learn something from that.
