On Monday we held an epic class on non-KYC #Bitcoin exchanges! Explored P2P stars: @vexl (mobile trades), @MostroP2P (escrow focus), @hodlhodl (global P2P/lending), @bisq_network (decentralized swaps), & @peachbitcoin (app-based deals). They rely on rep, multisig for trust. 🚩 Watch for red flags: Too-good deals, pressure tactics, odd payments. Stay safe & DYOR!

. @Visa Crypto Card Volume hits $1.8B in Q1 2026 - and we're only in mid-March. For context: the entire Q1 2025 was $580M. That's a 3x growth YoY in the same period. The market is no longer dominated by one player. @RedotPay remains the leader at $792M in Q1 2026, but @raincards has gone from $47M to $733M - a 15x surge that signals serious institutional and retail adoption. @ether_fi Cash grew from under $1M to $137M. Even the "Others" bucket - which includes @wirexapp, @MetaMask, @gnosispay, @holyheld and a dozen more - jumped from $71M to $131M. At this run-rate, full-year 2026 volume could reach $10B - more than double the $4.9B recorded across all of 2025. What's driving this? Stablecoin infrastructure is maturing. More wallets are getting @Visa rails. Users are spending crypto like cash - on groceries, travel, everyday purchases. The crypto card space is no longer a niche experiment. It's becoming a mainstream payment channel.
