Some sable-rattling coming from PayPal, starting with India... They sort-of-announced this already in 2024, but it seems to have taken a bit longer than expected.
Context: UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is a real-time payment system in India that allows users to send money between bank accounts using a smartphone. Practically every country/market has an equivalent system already, and what PayPal wants to do is start linking them up.
And that comes on top of the GENIUS act's fallout/effects ((WION) Payments in the stablecoin era).
Now more than ever, "build a fairly spam tolerant P2P network, and users will come" (our tongue-in-cheek mission statement) doesn't quite seem to cut it. If you ask me, that is. :-)
But, I'd like to ask Reddit, because I'm genuinely curious: What do you peeps think the best ways forward are, for the proliferation and greater good of Nano (both as a project and as a unit of exchange)?
