A lot of announcements happening today, Square Cash, Jack, Samson, etc. Can people post the summaries here in comments?
At the #Bitcoin conference today CashApp announced that they will be allowing their customers to receive Bitcoin over the Lightning network.
Soon will be able to “CashApp” anyone from anywhere in the world by using any of the tens of Lightning Wallet Apps available.

Cash App is playing a catchup with Strike..! is it just me or others feel that their lightning UI/UX is poorly implemented...!

"Bitcoin as legal tender in Mexico" - announcement from Mexican legislator that she's bringing a bill to the president to consider Bitcoin as legal tender (and tax-free!) in Madeira, Portugal
reply
That's amazing.
With Mexico it would be hard to ignore for first world legislators to ignore it as a foreign currency.
Madeira interesting as well: It's part of Portugal and Portugal has free movement of people, goods and services into the rest of Europe. Hopefully that has good legal consequences on mainland Europe.
reply
Right. The farther north the movement goes, the better for the movement in the US. As far as Madeira goes, it's rather comical because the whole island infrastructure is based on loans and grants from the IMF over the years. It's just a big charity case and now they're flying the coop.
reply
Wow. Is there more detail on Mexico?
reply
Samson Mow is going to have coffee with the president :P

Also Prospera in Honduras.

Looks like you'll be able to withdraw your coins off RobinHood by May this year, they've already rolled it out some users on the waitlist today. Lightning will also be coming to RobinHood.

Anyone see what Impervious announced?

Looks like they just gave a more thorough overview of the browser they’ve been teasing. Looks like you still need to request access to get it. So maybe it’s just a private alpha?
