30:46 Crypto's reputation problem
x402 didn't start at the Linux Foundation. It started with builders.
"We had 1,500 x402 transactions — half of them were Coinbase integration tests. We built @x402scan in a week. We went from 1.5K to a couple million transactions in four days." - @shafu0x
Crypto doesn't have a tech problem. It has a reputation problem.
"Andrew Callaghan from Channel 5 basically said, if you hear anything about crypto, just don't respond. That's a non-technical guy with millions of viewers. Memecoins, bitcoin— for him it's all one thing. A red flag." - @shafu0x
Privacy isn't a feature— it's the precondition for being human.
"We all need privacy in order to be able to be truly who we are...it dehumanizes people when they're under the watchful eye of Sauron" - @jswihart
there was a fire in a slum in India.
@jswihart’s friend asked him for help buying blankets and food.
western union blocked the transaction. no reason given.
3 days, multiple banks, half a day at wells fargo to send a few hundred bucks.
