This is very impressive Darth, and has come a long way in 2 years. The foundation looks way smoother then I remember? Is that just from walking on it?
I hear your points and I think they are valid and understandable especially since they started as a fiat company but they are also thinking from a top-down perspective and approaching it as a payment option into its fiat payment system.
Thinking from bottom-up, I believe we’re entering a phase where being Bitcoin-native really starts to matter. It’s not just about accepting Bitcoin as one of many options—it’s about building where Bitcoin is the default out of the 📦 solution and the fiat option becomes the modular component. What I’m paying for isn’t just convenience; it’s domain expertise that’s rooted in Bitcoin, not fiat. This will matter more and more as the ecosystem matures.
I think when this happens most of these fiat options will cease to exist and I would not want to be tied to a company that has that many liabilities.

Why would I use this if I have Zaprite already as a business with way better options at the terminal?
