CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: PayPal Opens Crypto Payments for Millions of Merchants
The old canard that you can’t buy coffee with bitcoin is less true than ever as PayPal rolls out crypto checkout for 29 million merchants.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Casper.
Today on the Brief:
- BTC micro futures coming to CME
- Michael Jordan is now an NFT investor
- Bitcoin doesn’t care about Treasury yields
Our main discussion: PayPal has begun rolling out its crypto checkout tools to millions of merchants. NLW breaks down:
- Why payments for day-to-day items have been historically deprioritized for Bitcoin and Ethereum
- Why the PayPal checkout tools are unlikely to shift the primary use case from store of value style functions to medium of exchange
- Why the liquidity and utility PayPal crypto checkout creates still adds significant value to these crypto assets
-

The Intelligence from The Economist - High threat-count: boycotts in China
Western fashion brands are in Chinese consumers’ crosshairs, the victims of political wranglings over sanctions and human-rights issues—a spat that may soon consume other industries.

And why the audio app Clubhouse has stormed the Middle East.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S4 E13: Troy Goode, Courier
Troy Goode is based in San Francisco, with his family of 3 kids. They are 10, 8 and 2... so they are back in diapers. He finds family life super rewarding, and loves to go outside, to the park, and spend time with his family.
His parents had a boat when he was growing up, and they lived in a rural area. He used to sail down (as a spectator, not a sailor) a nearby river in Virginia. As he got older, he missed the simple peace yet required work that came with sailing - so he picked it back up as an adult.
He's worked on several startups as a VP of Engineering and CTO. At one point he was building a collaboration tool, and he was trying to mimic the hierarchy of Slack notifications. He figured it out it was not only difficult to build... but every developer was recreating this in their solution. He decided to build it one last time.
This is the creation story of Courier.
