You will be able to use it to buy, sell, send and receive bitcoin through the lightning network.  "...we are able to settle on the supply chain side with split payments" - Alvaro Sol"(BAKKT with IBEX)... will be able to deliver fiat to fiat settlements with customers not even knowing that bitcoin is in the middle of it... ... what we are selling is the fin-tech experience."

The rain storms would frequently leave the occupants without power, sometimes for days. Enter : Trash Collection Sunday's for the kids"For every trash bag they return full, we give them the equivalent of one dollar to their bolt cards that they in turn go to spend in the shops that have the POS that accept the payment with the bolt card. We inject bitcoin, we clean the island and at the same time we promote the circular economy with the POS in the shops of La Pirraya." - QuentinThe kids were given Bolt Cards from Fernando Motolese of Brazil's Praia Bitcoin. See our previous episode "Fernando Motolese -Praia Bitcoin, ahead of the curve in Brazil.
