You can keep the $1 Million, we'll do it for free. Fluid Finance is a regulated financial institution in Switzerland. Our 1:1 backed verifiable on-chain stablecoin is in live testing, will launch in January. See more here: and here:
How much would it cost to convince a bank to accept stablecoins?
If we offered a $1m prize for the first bank in each region that does it is that enough?
Do you work for a bank and want to discuss this?

The Palestinians in Gaza are literally being ethnically cleansed, Israeli politicians have EXPLICITLY used genocidal language, and this is your take?

Over the past several months I have had HUNDREDS of BD calls with teams that span across the Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sui, Aptos, Solana and Cosmos Ecosystems.

An extensive roadmap to construct the world’s first network of modular Move-based blockchains. This testnet phase is designed to provide a collaborative environment where builders and users can experiment with Movement’s parallelized Move-EVM.
Modularity is the Trojan horse for Move
Gaming is the Trojan horse for crypto
I’ve personally had hundreds of calls with different protocols, dApps, foundations, investors, and builders over the past few months. Even though Web3 is in its nascent stages, we have inherited…

Have you noticed that the main Solana haters are ETH OG's who just happen to be ETH millionaires? As a non millionaire, ETH is unusable. Ethereum is amazing, but it's EFFECTIVELY unusable for people.

The main topic of discussion has been BTC. This is where most are stuck.
@BrianEstes32
session on valuing BTC received audible gasps, “ooohs” and “aaaahs”. Eyes were bulging during his presentation and it seemed that most skeptics were fully converted.
I’ve been side by side with many hard working people in my life. But I’ve never seen the work dedication like what I see in
@coopsmoves
,
@rushimanche
,
@livingwithwill
and the
@movementlabsxyz
team.
My brothers are either constantly grinding or thinking strategy about…
Anecdotally, about 8/10 people here have never heard of “DeFi” and don’t understand what an L1 is. Many understood Ethereum is for “smart contracts” but can’t explain it in much depth.
Even though it’s a conference of “boomers”, they know a cultural shift is taking place. They see it. They feel it. They know it. But it’s very difficult to navigate, which is why it feels like blue chip NFTs like CryptoPunks and BAYC should continue to do well
However the problem is that before they would invest in a large studio and have exposure to many different genres (Activision, Glu, Zynga, EA, etc…) Currently if you are invested into a metaverse gaming play, you are betting on one specific game. That’s much more risk
The gaming experts seemed to be in consensus that on the short term, the large studios will resort to buying smaller crypto gaming studios. It takes a long time for the massive organizations to make fundamental shifts.
There was an almost ubiquitous frustration with the Fed and debasement of the U.S. Dollar. This is causing ambiguity as to whether crypto is doing well or if the Dollar is losing value.
@Timbaland
led a session on NFTs and the Metaverse. During the session you could sense that the gears were turning in peoples heads and that buying a $200K jpeg seems a lot less crazy than it did 90 minutes prior.
Gaming was a hot topic because many investors here have exposure to the industry. Again they understand that gaming and crypto will be married very soon.
The Movement keeps growing ⚡️
Teams are integrating and launching across DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, SocialFi, and all aspects of infra.
New projects are launching their own custom L2s with our Move Stack.
Who will be next?
We can offer real, free bank accounts to FTX and Solana users globally (US end of March). You can test the web app here: invite code: fluidity-rocks. Real Vision video here: . DM me for more.

@0xDutch
. Dutch spent much of his professional life helping build Web2 companies. Having invested early in crypto, is now focused on the Solana ecosystem in both coins and NFTs. Huge community advocate, we all win together.
I’ve walked to dozens of the largest brands’ booths here at GDC and it’s crystal clear that WE ARE SO EARLY.
When I ask if there is a Web3/Blockchain person to talk to, they go full deer in headlights
So much opportunity
You may be shocked to see the disparity between Apple vs Google downloads, but an iPhone costs $700-$1100, while 1/10th of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day. Westerners, especially in the US, fail to realize that the majority of the world are Android users.

Francis is joining us as our new…
Firstly, the attendees are TradFi but very open to crypto and Bitcoin in particular. This is expected given that they listen to Real Vision and are attending a crypto centric conference. Okay fine.
Hellllll yes. This has been a long time in the making. Besides the fact that I love Ali as a person, he’s an incredible builder.
Not sure if I’m more bullish on
