can I pay crypto? no? what if I pay double?

Two thoughts:

1) These videos are getting better -- @jessepollak street interview game getting stronger (we see you G). It's fun watching "normal" people react to offers of crypto 😆

2) Real talk, I don't understand why crypto is better for IRL small businesses than existing payment rails. Is it mainly the fee structure? 

I've understood financial bundling (https://haseebq.com/crypto-is-financial-unbundling/) to be beneficial for businesses because it reduces risk -- though it can also hurt them via chargebacks

Genuine question and curious to learn from folks who know more about the payments space

I dont think regular payments will be done via wallets but just "regular" fintech apps that leverage stablecoin infra on the backend.

Yeah I dont see the point of making the frontend scream crypto

Right, but that's very different and is more akin to replacing the backend with more efficient rails

This seems like making the frontend crypto as well? Which is what intimidates people and also forfeits the benefits of the "bundle"
