in case it wasn't clear, @coinbase is going to MASSIVELY push stable value transfers on @base via USDC this cycle and try to grow it into something which could legit rival the legacy payment processors
and it will help provide crypto with a new set of "productive" use cases which are not oriented purely around speculation
maybe helping to change its public image completely into something which is "useful'
while also bringing new volume to the onchain economy which can tap into Ethereum-based DeFi with those assets via their smart wallet
watch this space, and buy $ETH and $COIN ๐
@Zeneca@spydenator@CozomoMedici Large chunk of Japan(~30%) is protected land and can't be built on. ~20% of Japanese land is for farming, and only ~30% of the whole of Japan is actually habitable.
next 100x opp is runes on Bitcoin, 95% of CT is not paying attention to this at all
compare volumes on Solana memecoins to current unisat volume & consider the wealth effect if Bitcoiners have their own native altcoins to buy
provenance will b v imp here also imo

@BillyM2k Companies get to keep the rest on top of that. Kinda sucks cause it doesn't incentive servers to go the extra mile while it is enforced on customers at the same time.
@BillyM2k In the UK it's a mandatory service charge on your bill. Usually 12-18%. Hospitality workers are basically paid around the minimum wage(slightly above) and depending on your role/salary you get a chink of the monthly service charge to make up your actual salary
