The biggest problem with these stablecoin neobanks is that they don't support named bank accounts. This means things like bill pay don't work (ie: having one financial institution pull from my stable balance).
This makes fully switching off a traditional bank nearly impossible in the US.
I'm a huge user of these, but I have not found one that supports this yet.
Who is building this?

6 months ago i got an email.
subject: Aaron, you'll leave your job after reading this
>found you on linkedin
>fully remote
>$300k TC
>frequent paid retreats to places like hawaii
>startup adding 30k new users a day
i thought it was a scam. but i figured there was a very very small chance this could be something.
i took the call. the founder was amazing. this could actually be real.
the interview was 2 rounds:
>1 paid trial task (react and node)
>1 work trial week in the hawaii penthouse to see if i was a culture fit
the trial task went well. i was invited to hawaii.
this was when i had to make a choice.
my options:
>stay at my big tech job making $200k/yr with great benefits
>travel to hawaii for a week and sleep on a floor mattress with a bunch of strangers off linkedin for the chance to follow my startup dreams.
not everyone would make the same choice i did. in fact, most people wouldn’t. but i decided that the potential rewards outweighed the risks, and decided to go for it.
the trial week went well. it was a small team of 4 engineers including myself. we weren’t geniuses. but we all put in maximum effort every single day.
i got the offer. i took it. looking back, im incredibly grateful to my past self for taking the risk. i’m working on an incredible product with insanely passionate people, and i couldn’t be more fulfilled by a job.

People who don’t understand why this works don’t understand the minutia of Bitcoin. Here’s why El Salvador’s strategy works in a eli5:
1. Your public key is only broadcast on chain when you spend from a wallet (to verify your signature)
2. When you receive money into a wallet, the only information exposed on chain is the sha hash of the public key (sha256 is safe from Grover’s in all practical worlds)
This means that as long as you never send money from a wallet, quantum computing cannot break your wallets. Simple.

🇸🇻 NEW: El Salvador is splitting its Bitcoin holdings across multiple wallets due to the threat of quantum computing.

Google just announced a new L1 (on LinkedIn lmao) and I don’t think they know what they’re doing
🚩 Corporate L1
🚩 Python for smart contracts
🚩 Barely marketing it → probably not serious
Just launch an L2 guys @sundarpichai
