Crypto promised global money.
But for most people, it’s still trading - not something you can use to pay for groceries, support family, or buy a coffee.
This session explores what happens when crypto stops being theoretical and becomes everyday money.
When sending value feels as simple and caring as sending a message and doesn't require understanding blockchains, seed phrases, or gas fees.
We’ll talk about:
- Taking crypto beyond speculation and wedges to compete with web2 fintechs
- Onboarding that feels better than Apple Cash
- Simplicity without compromising self-sovereignty
- And a live demo: sending $1 over iMessage and paying a real merchant on-chain in seconds
