Very excited to bring the first bank on the Lightning Network! Xapo built their integration on Lightspark's stack which is yet to be available to the general public. More to come very soon! https://davidmarcus.substack.com/p/welcoming-the-first-bank-on-the-lightning?sd=pf

Is this the same Xapo Wences founded? I didn't even know it was still around.

And it’s so cool to see you are part of this. I would love to see an interview with a good podcast, about your journey from Libra to Lightning. #[2] ?

Because it is now possibly through cash app and other means to transfer cash to BTC almost instantly, the price of BTC doesn’t impact your ability to move fiat from place to place, so long as the move happens in a window that allows for that rate to remain the same. Not the fiat movement is bitcoin’s end goal, fiat movement will be (is becoming) a primary function on its way to adoption, if the rate for the initial exchange to BTC and final exchange to USD could be locked in, for the duration of the transaction bitcoin would be more functional to the masses immediately.

Strike is great as well for easily buying BTC

Also send USD to a Bitcoin/LN wallet.
I’ve seen people throwing that one around a lot lately, have to check it out.
Yeah I can imagine how to get the transaction across, for me the point is an app needs to offer some kind of end to end service where it trades for fiat, on both ends of the transaction, with a locked in rate that is equal on both sides. Vendors could “accept” sats without having to actually manage their crypto
Apologize for that slip!! managing their BTC, crypto is a old bad habit haha

Actually the above concept is probably a driving factor for this: #[1]

Contgrats on integrating into Xapobank. But ZapoBank is not available in the US? This is the message I got. Please note: US Citizens are not able to apply for membership
