I guess I'm not surprised by Stripe choosing a very centralized "crypto" path instead of integrating with lightning. And using only USDC seems like they really only want the "crypto" marketing buzz without any risk. They are a massive corporation, so I suppose it is par for the course.

I’m not scared though.
LN is still 100x harder to work with compared to Polygon.
Hoping that Lightning Dev Kit + TARO will bring stablecoins back to LN 🤞

It's a bit cringe.
Is there such thing as a necessary evil?

I know someone that works for Stripe. I told them they needed to implement the Lightning Network or be forced out of the payment business. Many companies are going to make the stupid choice and go with Eth or some other chain, it's just evidence that lots of those in the payments business do not understand what is happening with Bitcoin and Lightning. They will find out eventually, we all tried to save them.

USDC is a stablecoin and Polygon fees are < 0.001 USD
But, centralized as f**k
Let's assume that their call is about control.
