Amazing 🟠 Saylor says he used AI like Grok to help design Strategy’s preferred securities instead of fiat economists 🤣

I wonder how many other countries will eventually realise that self-custody of BTC is the best option for securing said country’s wealth. Stable coins like Tether , although they offer simplified SWIFT-like operations, they also are susceptible to SWIFT-like control mechanisms the the global money makers & shakers 🧐

“I can't believe how hard how difficult it is to get people to realize that stuff is supposed to get cheaper over time... If it's easier to build a house today than it was last year, it should be cheaper." - Guy Swann

(The governments around the world have no choice but to act in the impending adoption of instantaneous crypto payments) ************* the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is proposing reforms to the payments system, including the elimination of surcharges and a reduction in interchange fees (the fees businesses pay card networks) starting in July 2026. While this will likely result in cost savings for consumers and businesses, the costs won't disappear but will be absorbed into base product prices. Key Changes Proposed by the RBA Elimination of Surcharges : The RBA wants to ban surcharges on debit and credit cards, which are currently applied by some businesses to cover the costs of card payments. Lowering Interchange Fee Caps : The central bank proposes to lower the cap on interchange fees that merchants pay to card networks, potentially saving businesses around $1.2 billion annually. Increased Transparency : The reforms also aim to increase competition and transparency in the payments system. Why these Changes are Being Made Decline in Cash Usage : The existing surcharging framework is no longer effective, as cash use has declined, and consumers have fewer opportunities to avoid these fees. Simplified Pricing : The changes are expected to make card payments simpler and more transparent for consumers. What This Means for You Consumers : You will likely pay around $1.2 billion less in surcharges each year, though some of this cost may be absorbed into product prices. Businesses : You could also benefit from lower interchange fees. What Happens Next These proposed changes are still under consultation and are expected to take effect from July 2026 if implemented.

Game changer for mainstream BTC adoption incoming . Not yet in Australia , but this is one of the reasons IMO why Aust credit card companies are removing their merchant fees next year some time. https://decrypt.co/339466/paypal-making-much-easier-send-bitcoin-ethereum-crypto-tokens
