LibertyPay has settled nine figures worth of value in its history – and most users never know their transactions are settling via Bitcoin. In this episode:&amp;nbsp; How LibertyX began with the cofounders standing beside a Bitcoin ATM in South Station in 2014 The origins of LibertyPay and how the cofounders realized that Bitcoin-based remittances were a viable product How LibertyPay determined the most viable channels for their Bitcoin remittance product Why Brazil is a goldilocks zone for Bitcoin-powered remittances In which domains Bitcoin-based remittances outmatch the traditional system Why LibertyPay uses Bitcoin as their bridge currency and not another asset Why obtaining banking in 2014 was such a challenge Whether there was a coordinated attempt to unbank crypto companies in 2014-15 Whether Kyle is optimistic about the future of digital cash Whether XRP will ever grow into its promise as a touted bridge currency Why Kyle views Bitcoin's base layer as more of SWIFT analogue rather than a payments network Why owning Bitcoin gives you exposure to all of its descendants, in the case of a dispute Why Bitcoiners should be excited about stablecoins On The Brink with Castle Island https://castleisland.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/15626228/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/2f3976/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/15626228
