@Tradeify I am not sure about this. There are areas in Canada where your firm is restricted. Only Ontario is accessible. What about Alberta, British Columbia and the rest of the province.
@DaveShapi Universal Basic Income (UBI) provides greater advantages to low-income working Canadians, such as single parents, than government support does for unemployed refugees with 5 to 10 children (just saying!).
Today we're starting a slow rollout of bitcoin backed loans to customers on @shakepay
Bitcoin backed loans are one of the most requested products since we started.
For those who never want to sell and live on a bitcoin standard, borrowing against your bitcoin is one of the most powerful financial products available.
Products like these are hard to pull off, and Canadians have been underserved for so long. Insanely excited to get this in the hands of all shakers.
🇺🇸TRUMP’S SIGNATURE TO APPEAR ON NEW U.S. $100 BILLS

You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?
👀<4 weeks, and XRP is now the fastest crypto Spot ETF to reach $1B in AUM (since ETH) in the US.
With over 40 crypto ETFs launched this year in the US alone, a few points are obvious to me:
1/ there’s pent up demand for regulated crypto products, and with Vanguard opening up access in traditional retirement / trading accounts for Americans..crypto is now accessible to millions more people who don’t need to be experts in the technology
2/ longevity, stability and community are all underrated themes that matter to this new set of “offchain” crypto holders
