Thanks for this info. I found more information in the video linked in the article (starts at 24:47):

Basically, USDC over Solana or Ethereum 🤮. Presentation slides show Bitcoin with the highest transaction fees, but don't even mention Lightning. I find it disgusting and sad. Maybe this shouldn't even be in the ~bitcoin territory.

thanks for the extra info. Let's hope lightning will follow.

they are totally missing the main crowd with this. the usage of usdc payments will be minimal imho.

Stripe was already using BTC back in 2016-2016 then they remove it. Now they came back to Bitcoin... Fuck them, they are shitcoiners! We don't need them, there are so many other better solutions than Stripe.

that is true hopefully they will though, so stripe is a good platform to get them interested in accepting it since they already have it integrated in their eshop

Stripe fucked their users years ago when they removed BTC, they will fuck it again. Why people do not learn the lessons? better start with zaprite

In an ideal world, you are right. We do not live in an ideal world. Zaprite is awesome for sure. Just not an ideal solution to use as your only payment option if you run a normal eshop. You'd be leaving 99% of your sales to someone who uses Stripe unfortunately. Only hard core bitcoin maxi's pay with bitcoin. I'd even bet that only a one digit % of people in this site pay with bitcoin.

The world will change when people will change the mentality. Those that are willing to change, could use as I said many solutions (I don't want to start listing them here). But Stripe is the WORST solution ever to start accepting bitcoin.
