@mikeriddell62 Amazing work Mike. Such a great initiative in such difficult times.

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@mikeriddell62 I was talking about your concept of counter coin the other day. It blew people’s minds. I hope it’s still going strong

Great thread. How politics, power and our financial system are intertwined…

1/ There are no other constitutional rights in substance without freedom to transact

Being meaning to write this for 6 months, but the Canadian response to the trucker protests is illustrating this so vividly, that today is the day.

[Jeff Tijssen @JeffTijssen]

Really excited to share a very insightful @BainAlerts report on the #BNPL space. It provides an in-depth overview of the reasons behind the success of the key BNPL players, the rise in consumer and merchant adoption and how the market is likely to evolve.

So yeah. This happened - led by Tiger Global and Stripe 🥰 While hitting the 🦄milestone is amazing it’s just a milestone on our journey leading the charge and making ‘alternative payments’ mainstream payments.

@sammaule @11FS @bmoesta I love hearing @bmoesta speak, he’s a great inspiration and everyone should get the chance to listen to him.

[Jamie Smith @jamiedsmith]

SSI is about demand side thinking. Where customers are active participants rather than passive subjects. Where companies wrap their products, services and experiences around the customer, rather than the business.

@jamiedsmith @LedaGlyptis @evernym Ah yes, you two should totally meet! I'll intro you

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@terryc_uk @LCFC Ow… my head hurts. Just watched the highlights again to make sure it really happened 🦊

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@terryc_uk Soooo excited - first time I have ever watched my team in an FA Cup final

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@sytaylor @eco @donut__app @PetBerisha Yes I take you’re point, especially in FS.

But, I’d love to see a decentralised Twitter, Facebook, Uber, etc.

We’re starting to see them but they will need to go beyond the early adopter crypto audience for them to get the network effects required to be successful.

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

For Web3 / Crypto businesses to appeal to a larger audience, they need to build better brands and dial down the use of "bit".

Twitter is a great brand name.

BitClout is terrible.

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@sytaylor @eco @donut__app 😂 you’re good!

The “i” has only survived on the iPhone. You can’t change the name of the best product in the world.

Apple dropped the rest. iTunes is now Apple Music, for example

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@sytaylor @eco @donut__app Coinbase makes sense, it's a financial service.

Everything derives from Bitcoin.

It's exciting to see blockchain used in non-financial services, but it needs better branding.

It's like the equivalent of using "net", "i" or "e" 20 years ago. Thankfully we grew out of that

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

@mrjamiehill @Ocado @monzo The the “One Click” feature in the Ocado app is really slick. But the active card checks are super annoying

[Ryan Garner @RyanGarner]

Something for @monzo & @Ocado to figure out...

2 of us updating Ocado basket on different iPhones. 1 joint account card connected to Ocado. 1 person always stumped with 2FA at checkout.

Multiplayer home shopping & banking needs thinking through a lot more 🤔

@bktchung @jamie247 Great thread! I hadn’t connected the Square majority purchase of Tidal to NFTs and a new model for streaming.

That could be massive!
