📰 Cash App, Jack Dorsey's “Bitcoin-first platform,” has quietly enabled stablecoin functionality for its 58 million users, a major move transforming its payment infrastructure. 😮 Cash App has given every user a blockchain wallet address and the ability to send and receive stablecoins. 😮 This integration creates a direct payment network between 58 million consumers and 4 million merchants, all settling outside of traditional banking systems. The process is seamless for users: 💰 Stablecoins sent to a user's address automatically convert to dollars. 💰 Dollars sent from the user's account convert to stablecoins on-chain. 🤔 Why Stablecoins? They solve critical issues for everyday commerce that Bitcoin doesn't, offering: instant settlement, no price volatility, reduced tax friction on small purchases, and global functionality without reliance on banks. Stablecoins are rapidly becoming the default backend for global consumer finance. Major players like PayPal (PYUSD), Zelle, Visa, Revolut, and Mastercard are aggressively entering or expanding their stablecoin offerings, highlighting intense competition. This shift indicates a growing consensus, even among "hardcore maximalists" like Dorsey, that stablecoins are necessary for practical, high-volume consumer transactions. QUESTION 🙋‍♂️ So how is it still a bitcoin first app ? 😝
