I recently celebrated my first cryptoversary - my gift to myself was to take the plunge and start a CT account.
Imagine for a moment a wide-eyed youngin knee deep in fintech, who had only ever heard about crypto as the punchline of ponzi jokes.
But then he catches it:
@VailshireCap Everytime I rewatch this movie I have to calm myself down from the internal rage that everyone who's ever watched it did not immediately go buy bitcoin during the end credits
@cuysheffield@Worldpay_Global@Nuvei Qq - does anything change in chargeback handling here? Cuz an issuing bank can't do debit pull from a merchant bank on-chain, right?
@cuysheffield@Worldpay_Global@Nuvei This is awesome, love to see Visa leaning in to innovation & experimentation ๐
Takes cross-border settlement especially leaps forward, and domestic better as well (case could be made RTP is good enough but obv prefer on-chain)
@milesdeutscher Being the only anti-kyc (read: not under mind control) person in my irl fintech/tradfi circles always leads to the response - "well how do you prevent criminal funds & money laundering?"
current kyc/aml isn't the way but I don't have a good technical answer - what is a way?
@alpha_pls@friendtech SocialFi is also kool cuz it opens up a new can of philosophical worms ๐ชฑ. Added bonus for the nerds (read: brain chads). @friendtech & also @ercwl Orb
@Altcoin_Hero_ Ripple's cross-border payments & odl and Stellar are more interesting compared against SWIFT (no, not taylor ๐)
FedNow is just US being insanely late to the party of upgrading from 50 yr old ACH.
@OlimpioCrypto I think a big part of the reaction is that this literally happened on AIP-1
Token launches are always surrounded by claims of philosophical virtue and decentralization - the hypocrisy optics are just too obvious to ignore, even if simply bad comms
@WallStreetSilv "#Bitcoin fixes this" comments incominggg
Forreal tho, #crypto is the direction of the future - it kills the Greed + Moral Hazard + Centralized Governance combo that has/will bring the house down. But still so many qs about what the new order looks like & how it will work
@Pentosh1 Look at Argentina right now if peeps really need convincing. Doesn't look fun
Obv the balaji bet is more a philosophical statement than a real bet, but still
