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"?

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

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.

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
