The article compiles various Twitter threads that touch on different topics, primarily focusing on finance, cryptocurrency, and personal experiences. One significant thread discusses the limitations of USDC for individuals in rural India, where traditional money transfer services like Wise provide immediate access to funds for everyday purchases. The author highlights the cumbersome process of converting USDC to Indian Rupees (INR) through exchanges, noting issues like KYC requirements, transaction fees, and bank flags. In contrast, sending money via Wise allows for instant access without such complications. Another thread dives into the Bilt credit card, which has garnered attention for offering cash back on rent payments. The author reveals that the deal Bilt has with Wells Fargo is unsustainable. Wells made several incorrect assumptions about consumer behavior, expecting a significant volume of non-rent purchases and revolving balances. Instead, most users like the author pay rent and minimize other card use. Wells is losing hundreds of millions on this deal, and while Bilt has a strong contract until 2029, the future of this arrangement is uncertain. The article also touches on the performance of payment processors Adyen and Stripe, comparing their processing volumes and market values. Adyen processed $837 billion in 2022, a 49% increase from the previous year, while Stripe processed $817 billion, up 26%. Adyen's market cap stands at approximately $47 billion, while Stripe's valuation is around $50 billion. The discussion hints at differences in their financial health, with Adyen likely having a higher EBITDA compared to Stripe, even though Stripe might enjoy a higher gross margin. Lastly, the author shares a personal experience from a conference in Tahoe, "Learning Man," where participants presented various skills and knowledge outside their typical work environments. This informal setting fostered serious engagement and learning among attendees.
