This should leave the door open for bitcoin companies building on lightning to separate themselves.

The innovator's dilemma at play.

Understanding that is an inch deep and a mile wide (exploring all of "crypto" to pick the right "winner") will force you to the sidelines eventually as the noise gets too loud.

Focus and conviction will make bitcoin-only companies massive disruptors to incumbent fintech.

Any impact on Strike’s point of sale integration? What is status of that? #[2]

Building a payment network on eth is a dumpster fire. Lightning can do it way better

It’s simple Strike API

Yeah we need to start thinking 10x. The only company that seems to be publicly doing that right now is Strike. Edging our way into the existing system is not going to do the trick.

The major card issuers have no dilemma. They are committed to investing in digital payments once the legal framework is more clear.

Not everything is “us” vs “them”. These companies are the biggest potential enablers of Bitcoin-backed payments.

These 2 will be irrelevant soon anyway, along with the money sucking Western Union. Good riddance
