love seeing how insular our bubbles can be, lots of people here and on x talking about stripe right now (and rightly so as it's been massively powering online commerce for over a decade now)

but pretty sure if i ask normie friends, do they know stripe, similarly to crypto, they'll be like, "what's that?"

i'd be impressed they even knew what ethereum is 🤣

Exactly, friends were like, "didn't ethereum just went down?"

Although stripe is used by more than all crypto wallet apps combined...

But yeah.

And then even in our bubble, and I want to have said this, we also have people who do not know Stripe that well, because they are not allowed to use it. Many African nations, Iran, Afghanistan. And so on. They are also likely wondering what so special is about stripes.
