it's WAY harder than it should be to accept payments online

now imagine not even having access to stripe which is trusted by consumers worldwide

- this is the reality that african builders face when distributing products online

internet-native currency has been a long time coming and is frankly long overdue

do you think the way it's being implemented by circle addresses that difficulty though?

even coming from a US perspective, the number of hoops we're having to jump through for circle mint is imo worse than a trad bank...

circle mint is the product that most non crypto native merchants will use to access their USDC & EURC, mainly convenient for on/offramping

until trad banks offer their own versions of this, circle mint pretty much is a choke point unless vendors understand and have their own offramp options in place

agree offramping is a big issue. in an ideal world you can pay for your expenses with your onchain earnings directly

for sure, if we can stay onchain, significantly less problematic 

but simply tradfi 2.0 always strikes me as falling well short of the mark, particularly when it doesn't really resolve much for those who've had the most issues
