seeing a lot of excitement around the idea of buying physical goods with crypto, but i'm excited about getting crypto into the hands of more people to be able to spend with

who's doing cool experiments (one off or recurring) with allowing users to earn (rather than "make" ie not through price appreciation) crypto?

yes…get more people comfy w wallets and trusting tokens.  Then figure out payments. 

Earn > buy for this

Stablecoins are great, but burn with inflation. To reshape payments we need to be more purposeful and build a “medium-of-exchange token” specifically for commerce. One that maintains purchasing power.

A big part of consumer crypto is payments. But it hasn’t lived up to the potential.  We need more tokens designed specifically for use as a medium-of-exchange.  Here’s some thoughts:

Didn't have time to hack something together with a frame because of shipping deadlines but e-commerce in frames is going to be awesome

E-commerce in frames….YES!!!….but a key part of that is payments, and I worry we’ll end up using the same old boring payment stack.  Fuck that!  this is a chance to reshape e-comm. we need to make a bold step and power it all with inflation resistant tokens….lets create “inflation-resistant commerce”!!

Emerging Payments @AmericanExpress. Focused on crypto. Earn > Buy.  Let’s get more people using and trusting tokens.
