Hard to overcome the “2-3% back” message to consumers while also cutting the fees for merchants.

Credit card points are a consumer bribe that preserves the credit card system’s hold over payments.

USDC is 10x better for hyperinflation protection and cross border payments.

It’s not 10x yet better for retail payments. I wonder if it can be, and - if not - if we should focus efforts elsewhere.

Payments is a massive category though. Instead of targeting the entire system you go after a specific group. For instance there are a massive number of CC defaults happening right now. Maybe this becomes a low cost alternative for pay as you go debit cards.
