The Barriers to Entry for Competitors
Visa settles $5 trillion worth of payments every single year. Visa used to be a nonprofit and it is now a private company. It is using the same technology that was set up back in the 1970s. So there really hasn't been a whole lot of innovation that's happened in terms of payments. The merchant is actually going to pay about 3% of the transaction just to make that settlement happen.
Preston Pysh talks to Bitcoin layer two Lightning expert Jesse Shrader on the show about all the fascinating stuff they have going on with their Amboss website.
