Hey #Stellar community!

I would like to launch a, hopefully, fun social experiment: #StellarSpread!

The idea is that I will send 3 people 100 $XLM each. These 3 people should then split the amount among 1-3 people they trust to do the same. Each forming their own "chain". Image
2/
We will keep track of the 3 chains to see which one is the most "infectious". Every person involved should pick people who they think will do a good job in spreading the #Stellarspread further!

Who is in and wants to help #StellarSpread by being one of the first "infectees"?
3/ Fun fact: 10 people spreading this to 3 other people, will lead to 177,000 people taking part in this experiment!

We'll keep track of the spread through a forms + google spreadsheet (🤓). Any help in automation, visualization is welcome!
4/ An additional idea:

People that were infected could set profile pictures that show the chain they were infected with and maybe even the number. F.E. Chain 1, position 4.

The #Stellar #NFT community could maybe create NFTS that represent this.

2. Let’s start with what what was already there.

#Stellar is made for interoperable payments and has an on-chain #DEX. Its consensus mechanism is similar to the Internet, making it:

✅Fast
✅Cheap
✅Scalable
✅Regulatory friendly

3. Tss
#Stellar uses operations and multi-sig to offer basic smart contract functionality. It didn’t have turing complete smart contracts like #Ethereum though.

With the new 2nd layer “TSS protocol", #Stellar now has full blown smart-contracts.

A few tweets about the significance of P2P payments in #cryptocurrency and why interoperability with traditional financial rails is key to reach mass adoption.
In the early days, the #bitcoin narrative evolved around P2P payments. We needed a digital equivalent of cash.
This was inspired by the role of banks in the 2008 financial crisis.

IF #BTC would become the currency of the internet, as a result it should be valuable.
Since then, this has changed into a #HODL and #BTC = #Gold narrative. Scarcity brings value.

Where in the early days people wanted to spend #BTC, this has become quite rare. Why is that? There are a couple of reasons.

1/x A thread on why this is big.

Since the #Bitcoin White-paper, we have unfortunately not seen widespread use of a "p2p electronic cash system" yet.

In part this is due to the inefficient interaction of #BTC with FIAT:

↔️ If I want to pay in BTC, but my friends USD i'm stuck.
#Stellar solves this by allowing for easy tokenization of assets on 1 interoperable network. This allows atomic transaction like:

- Paying $XLM while my friend receives $USD
- Paying $USD while my friend receives $EUR
- Paying tokenized $BTC while my friend receives $USD
This means you can pay $XLM or any other asset, while your friend receives FIAT in his bank account in seconds.

Here is an example of how @tempo_eu and @cowrie_exchange facilitate transaction from $EUR to $Naira.
