People with crypto are ready to pay. This is a call to action for businesses from the travel industry to real estate, from Forex to iGaming. There are 600 Million+ people holding cryptocurrency of some kind, and with EU crypto regulation MiCA comes fully into force, the Genius Bill and stable coin sentiment escalating in the USA; it’s only a matter of time before crypto payments become mainstream.And the good news is, there’s already a solution for businesses: a ‘one button click’ style crypto payments feature today.I’m joined by Max Krupyshev, leader of CryptoProcessing by CoinsPaid - crypto payment gateway, which helps businesses plug into the global crypto economy: fast, secure, and friction-free.

S4E30 Cosmos: Under New Management w. Crypto Cito

Cosmos has contributed a LOT to the Web3 space, and is going through a significant revival. It's time to dig deeper into this OG Blockchain ecosystem that has contributed so much to interoperability and cross-chain apps. If you're in Web3, you've probably heard of Cosmos. You've probably heard of Osmosis, and if you're vaguely technical you've probably heard of IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol). But that's not where the story ends. The Cosmos ecosystem is smart, vibrant and determined. However, for many reasons (which we'll cover on this show) Cosmos hasn't received the recognition or escape velocity it perhaps deserves. On this LinkedIn Live, we meet Crypto Cito, one of the strongest and longest-serving advocates for the Cosmos ecosystem, so who better to give us the story of what was and what will be... In this show we cover: - Cosmos 101 (The tech and why it matters) - Cosmos 201 (The ecosystem and evolution of the community) - Use cases, builders and apps you should know - The roadmap - where next for Cosmos
