First I’m hearing of this. I don’t really understand how it works? From what I’ve read it says it’ll take your money to some exchange and then give you an anonymous digital version in the app/account. I’m assuming it’s not as simple as putting a card in and being able to buy something like on Amazon or something. Both the seller and buyer need to use it right?
Oh right. I keep on forgetting about this awesome project. Now I wonder why it is not successful and I fear the lobbyism of banking and payment providers is just too good.
I hate to say it, but this would be one use case where crypto currencies would be ideal. Or any other decentralized solution.

There’s no exchange. It’s just USD. It’s just payment processing platform.
