The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

Wow! @stripe just dropped the annual letter and the numbers are HUGE.
- $1.4trn of Total Processed Volume
- Acquiring Bridge for $1.1bn
- $500m ARR for Billing alone 💸.
I had a 20 minute Q&A with John Collison and here's what we talked about
Amazing year for Stripe: 38% growth and now durably profitable.
And so cool to see mentions of Moxie and Meadow Memorials in the vertical SaaS section: both proudly incorporated and powered by Stripe.
I can confidently share that @slice would not be possible in a world without @stripe. Thank you for highlighting our impact on our industry and congrats on the insane scale ($1.4 Trillion 🤯)
We just published Stripe's annual letter with a bunch of details on what drove 38% payment volume growth in 2024 including enterprise adoption, the AI economy, Vertical SaaS, and more. (Plus some discussion of upcoming trends like stablecoins.)
We expected Bridge (go follow them at @stablecoin) to grow very quickly, and we're nevertheless shocked at just how rapidly adoption is exploding. In the coming years, everyone programmatically moving money will likely want a stablecoin strategy.
Stablecoins are room-temperature superconductors for financial services. Thanks to stablecoins, businesses around the world will benefit from significant speed, coverage, and cost improvements in the coming years. Stripe is going to build the world’s best stablecoin infrastructure, and, to that end, we are delighted to welcome @stablecoin to @stripe.
