IMHO, #cashu is the most exciting tech to hit the net in decades. In the early days of the web, most presentations had the obligatory ‘Internet’ slide and then presented the ‘Intranet’ as the next big thing. Boy, did they ever get that wrong. “Intranets” were a distraction while the internet (courtesy tcp/ip) at everything, including telcos… #cashu is going to eat the payment systems as we know them

Deja vu all over again…

We’re at the same point 30 years later. Now the big thing is the “CBDC” (which I call “intranet money”), supposedly the innovative successor of Bitcoin. That is dead wrong, like the “Intranet” of 30 years ago. What’s going to eat everything for payment systems? It’s going to be the #cashu protocol? How do I know? I don’t, actually, but I’ve been building on top of the protocol for almost 2 years now, and my enthusiasm has not waned; it has increased. This is not my first protocol rodeo - I witnessed first hand the takeover of tcp/ip in the industry, while experts where blah-blahing about “Intranets”
