"By separating the guarantee from the underlying asset while keeping both visible, credit becomes a reusable primitive rather than a feature each app rebuilds."

Why Flexa Co-Founder Tyler Spalding Is Bullish on Zano 👀| Free the Money Ep. 40
@Trspalding is President of the @AcronymFNDN and the former Co-Founder & CEO of @FlexaHQ, a digital payments network. He has been mining and building in crypto since 2011 and has more than 20 years of experience across technology, payments and aerospace, including engineering work with the U.S. Air Force and NASA programs. His work in crypto and Web3 has spanned a number of projects, including @Anvil_xyz and @Spenders_club, with a longstanding focus on payments and bringing digital assets into real-world use.
In this episode, Tyler shares his perspective on what it will actually take for digital assets to become usable money and why privacy is essential for adoption at scale. For the first time publicly, Tyler discusses his longtime support for Zano, what he believes the project has gotten right, and why its approach to privacy and security has positioned it ahead of the curve in preparing for emerging AI threats.
We also discuss stablecoins, private digital dollars, Zano’s Hard Fork 6, cross-chain interoperability & Zcash. Tyler makes the case for Proof of Stake over Proof of Work, including the security risks he sees in PoW networks, and we explore the bigger challenge of moving crypto from something people simply hold to something they can privately and securely spend in the real world.

@lofitheyeti Amazing to see the Sui community coming together to make a real-world impact. Congrats to the entire @lofitheyeti community on this incredible achievement!
@brian_armstrong agents need instant, final settlement more than anyone. no chargebacks, no waiting. the collateral layer for that already exists. ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2.
