send money fast and cheap

maybe you are just stupid?


Grandma asks how she can send her grandson 1 of these table coins for his birthday. Is it fast enough to get to him by Tuesday night? How much does it cost to send it on email?


> If you’re a company with large, real-world economic flows and would like to help shape the future of Tempo, get in touch.

This isn't even for you or I, nevermind grandma.


What's the problem with using crypto?


There has been a huge amount of tooling and programs written for EVM that you instantly have access to


Why does it need to be achieved using traditional technology? Crypto works, and has attracted billions in liquidity for stable coins


Because ego. Takes a lot of self-actualization to recognize you might be living in a weaponized system that devours anything that doesn't participate (financial markets fed by unlimited supply).


Current bitcoin fees are 17 cents. Not anywhere near weekly salary.

Regardless, they don't need to use bitcoin for their day to day transactions. Just somewhere to put their savings that won't be inflated away. USDC would make much more sense of course.


Half of the world's population lives on less than US$2.15 a day. You're right, nowhere near weekly salary. Just three transactions a day will only use up 25% of their earnings.

> Just somewhere to put their savings that won't be inflated away.

What fucking savings?

And uhh, what are they doing, then, just making periodic conversions to fiat that is, as you point out, "inflated away"?

You're trying to have it both ways, "crypto is immune to inflation problems, that's why it's important to a lot of the world", and then when someone points out transaction fees, "Oh, you wouldn't really use crypto daily, you'd still use that fiat with inflation problems, you'd just keep your "savings" in crypto".

It is laughable how much fervor goes into these kind of statements that have had little to no critical thinking applied.


Phishing scam videos are not good for anyone, why would you want people impersonating your brand stealing your users funds?


utter loser mentality


what a garbage article, he spent so much time being mad he forgot to be convincing


utterly absurd


classic, uh, actually it's a good thing we don't have any tech scene bringing jobs and innovation!!


> innovation

Target Advertisement? Gig Economy?

Er... We have different ideas of what innovation is desirable, maybe.


How many gig workers have you actually talked to? Most massively prefer it over what they had before.


Quite a few actually.

And, no. Most I spoke to certainly did not prefer it.


This Is Good For Bitcoin!
