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

These videos are really getting better. Brutal honesty is attractive. 

And businesses are focused on cash flow and working capital to make it to the next payroll. Everything else is just customer acquisition and retention. I think crypto serves best in the latter than advancing the former.

it's this. margins are thin. migrating to blockspace rails recovers material amounts that would be lost to tx fees

there's meaningful improvement for the customer but we understand that already
