interesting moment about real-world crypto adoption:. needed to add $10 to a cloud service. Payment options are Stripe, Crypto com, and Coinbase. - Crypto com accepted only Bitcoin.- Coinbase accepted ETH on Base, MATIC on Polygon, or ETH on mainnet, no USDC!. but when tx was

Sozu house was a blast in Denver, highly recommend to apply if you are into coding.

Not clicking links is not enough!. One of my developer friends lost all his crypto savings because of a simple `npm install`. According to him, someone approached him on LinkedIn offering a development gig. The task was related to his stack (React), and the person promised good.

Wondering how many of these new stablecoins will be pausable, freezable, or blacklistable - with governments promising not to abuse that power or freeze your funds at will. Like if you skip the COVID-26 shot or fall behind on a medical bill.

Beware of a new type of scam!. Over the past few days, I was contacted by several old acquaintances I had met in person at crypto conferences. These were real people - we had taken selfies together and everything. They sent me seemingly harmless calendly links. It looked

unpopular opinion:.Given how many legitimately good products Apple has, I have a theory that these ridiculously bad design decisions (though easily fixable) are just a PR stunt to get everyone talking about them. It seems that every year they do this - something so bad that.

@awxjack And this goes beyond just cost. When the recipient gets that lets say stablecoin in EUR, it isn't just money locked in a bank account. It's a programmable asset. They can instantly put it to work to earn yield, use it for automated payroll, or stream payments - all without.

@awxjack So the FX leg of the transaction- the part that could cost an SME hundreds or thousands in hidden fees - now happens with near-zero cost. Stablecoins effectively take the wholesale FX market, which was once a closed system for banks, and opens it up to anyone with a crypto.

@awxjack The solution lies in how these stablecoins are created. Protocols using a CDP model (incl @stableunitdao) can mint stablecoins pegged to any currency- USD, EUR, etc. all backed by on-chain collateral. This allows for a synthetic conversion directly within the protocol itself.

@awxjack The flaw in the "G10 FX is free" argument is that this rate is only for major banks. An SME or individual sending $50k from the US to Europe doesn't pay 0.01%. They pay a hidden 0.5% - 2% retail markup on the exchange rate, plus wire fees. That’s a $250-1000 cost, just for the.

A great thread from @awxjack and he's asking the single most important question. You're right that off-ramp costs are the final hurdle. But the core value of stablecoins isn't competing with the <0.01% interbank rate. It’s about giving everyone else access to it. [Thread 🧵].

RT @stableunitdao: when i first heard about Bitcoin, i was still at uni, it was freezing february and btc was at $0.87, . just 9 months aft….

Inspired by @cryptofelon, @DeFiDave22 and others. 2021 (eth $2500) vs 2024 (eth $2500). For me ETH Istanbul was the most memorable, evidently by the hairline.

I have two problems which I suspect might be common. 1) I often see viral tweets with factually wrong info that later get deleted or turn out to be joke etc – really annoying. 2) a bunch of experts on CT make bold predictions, but there’s no easy way for casual readers to check.
