When Code Meets Money
summary
Company builds crypto collateralized contracts on Bitcoin (now adding native Ether) that mint synthetic assets giving phone-held exposure to fiat, equities and ETFs by converting deposits to Bitcoin, locking it in smart contracts and hedging in real time. System reports almost a billion dollars in volume across hundreds of thousands of users and claims no consumer lost a penny when Bitcoin plunged 85%. Talks scalability fixes (SegWit, Lightning, Schnorr, on- and off-chain optimizations) and argues mass collateralization could sharply raise Bitcoin’s price.
