b2c is weirdly abandoned rn. not bc there are no opportunities, but bc ppl convinced themselves there aren’t.

Everyone’s building fintech for people who already have bank accounts. The real market is the millions of cross-border workers whose banks treat them like second-class customers. That’s not underserved..that’s un-served

@toddsaunders YC is a reproducible, low-stakes bet with outsized upside. But it's not the only path and it's definitely not the right one for every founder.
English
YC’s model works for a specific founder.
Technical, Bay Area adjacent founders who want to play a zero sum game.
But there’s a massive founder group being ignored.
The operator who built a $5M-$50M services business and knows exactly what software their industry needs.
They know the pain and workflows better than anyone else.
And that founder has an industry following / friends to sell the product to.
Claude Code just gave them all the power.
And I’m going to surround them with the best people I know to help turn their domain expertise into a giant software company.

A new payments architecture is emerging: the “Stablecoin Sandwich.”
Instead of money moving through long correspondent banking chains:
Fiat, stablecoin, blockchain settlement, fiat
Same endpoints. Completely different rails.
How the model works:
- Sender pays in fiat
- Converted to stablecoins like USD Coin
- Settled on blockchain in minutes
- Converted back to local currency
- Recipient gets paid faster and often cheaper
Why this matters:
Stablecoins are increasingly used for:
- Cross-border B2B payments
- Treasury flows
- Liquidity management
- Merchant settlement
And an ecosystem is forming around it:
Infrastructure: Polygon Labs, Chainlink Labs
Custody: BitGo
Payments: BVNK
Processing: Fipto
The bigger shift:
Banks aren’t disappearing.
But settlement is being upgraded:
Days into minutes
Manual into programmable
Fragmented into interoperable
Stablecoins may become the invisible settlement layer behind global payments.

In consumer you get one shot. User hits a wall, they're gone. No exit interview. Just silence.
In B2B your customer pays $100K/yr and gives you 10 chances to get it right. Shared Slack channels. QBRs. "Let's hop on a call."
If you can't operate at consumer speed, don't sell to consumer founders.

There is no substitute for the person who Knows What To Do.

@Martinoleary Valid, but I heard that chances for success increase dramatically if to start at 40-41-44 (you have experience)

@andrewchen Your question is focused on the end result.
The end result requires a process to determine the outcome.
The process is what will answer your one question
English
One question I've been asking founders is: do you try to review all the code that the LLMs write or do you just accept it?
I think it's about 50-50 right now but the momentum is towards just accepting the AI-generated code and I think that number will eventually go to 100%
This is one of the most telling indications of how AI-native a team is. It's hard to get super high throughput if you are reviewing every line
Poll: what do you do?
English
Don’t build your fintech on a single infrastructure.
Redundancy isn’t paranoia.
It’s just good product.

@chrismaddern would love to get your thought on something. jweinstein@stripe.com if you have a few mins.

Anyone have context on what's going on w/Bridge at the moment? Or just garden variety client service issues? My DMs are open.
Ben O'Neill@benhoneill
If you have issues or feedback on Bridge (@Stablecoin) or see it in the wild. Tag me and I’ll respond or help you get routed to the right place. We want to build with you!

@nikitabier Why dont you respond to your emails or DM's regarding urgent matters?

Happy Friday—In this week's creator payout, we have allocated an additional $335,000 to X's creators.
This was funded by:
1. Users who were suspended from the program for posting AI-generated war videos without disclosure
2. Deducting earnings from posts that received a Community Note for posting false information
Remember to thank these folks for their generous donation.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program. During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program. This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.

a group of 2-3 men is called a podcast but a group of 4+ men? that's a startup
