had a call with a freelancer in tripoli, libya last week
he found us by asking perplexity:
“how do i send an invoice where my client pays by card and i receive crypto?”
we got on a call. he said he uses stablecoins because shops in libya will swap them for cash at a better rate than USD. but his client don't want to pay in stables, but he wants to receive it. so he needed a way to bridge that.
then he said:
“getting paid in stablecoins is like your client handing you cash, instantly, across a border.”
and i sat there thinking:
we spend so much time on gtm, design, messaging, trying to explain the value. and this guy already gets it. lives it.
i don’t have some big point. just felt like this is what it’s actually about.
