Thanks for having us on TBPN! We're looking forward to being back soon.
We asked David Marcus (Co-Founder & CEO of Lightspark) about the future of stablecoins and crypto. "Do you want something centralized like current payment systems, or like the Internet which is open, permissionless, for developers worldwide?" "I'm in the latter camp and I want to make sure that we have an open money grid built on Bitcoin." "Digital banks are adopting our new open standard, Universal Money Address, like email for money." "Send any currency anytime, even on weekends or bank holidays." You can listen to the full conversation with David on today's show: https://lnkd.in/g874wMvY Follow TBPN on LinkedIn for more.
