Episode description

Cha-ching Must Cha-change! Blockchain Payments are the Next Way to Pay In today's digital age, sending money internationally should be as easy as sending an email — instantaneous for both small and large amounts and open 24/7/365. How do we get to that reality? Enter David Marcus, ex-president of Paypal, co-creator of Meta’s Diem, and co-founder and CEO of Lightspark, on a mission to change the game. His vision? Transforming Bitcoin's Lightning Network for universal payments. With Julien Codorniou, partner of Felix Capital and former vice president of Facebook by his side, discover why Diem failed, and how Lightspark plans to revolutionize cross-border payments, making them faster, cheaper, simpler and better. --- Slush is the most founder-focused event on earth delivering actionable company-building advice and bringing together the who’s who in the ecosystem.
