That’s great to hear.
What’s amazing to me is how prevalent digital payments are here, especially in Taipei (I.e. Apple Pay, Line pay, etc). I’m a NYC native and have lived in Taipei for almost two years. Prior to moving here I used a digital payment at a POS maybe once or twice. Since moving here I use it for 85% of my transactions, the rest are cash since they are super local/old school.
So the desire to embrace the next gen in digital payments is here for sure. Also, no one likes the outdated banking and credit systems here in Taiwan.
I keep looking for a Bitcoin or Lightning logo in shops, have yet to see one. When I do I’m ready.
