Here's the diagram it created when I passed it changelog.com source code. Check the chapter image if you're listening audio only, or look at your screen if you're watching the video. You can click on each component to go straight to the code it represents, and you can export the Mermaid code for use elsewhere. Exploring a stablecoin bank.

Bridget Harris goes deep on the potential of crypto stablecoins to disrupt Visa and MasterCard's duopoly. Quote, right now, Visa and MasterCard charge merchants an egregious 2% to 3% swipe fees, which is typically their second highest cost after payroll. Sadly, smaller merchants are disproportionately hit by these swipe fees.

This is partly why Visa and MasterCard's profit margins are each higher than 50%. Small businesses have no choice but to accept Visa and MasterCard since they control 80% of the credit card market. A stablecoin network could drop those swipe fees to essentially zero.

Merchants hate swipe fees, rightfully so, and if they could opt for a lower fee network that wouldn't limit their TAM, total addressable market, they'd switch in a heartbeat. End quote. I've long asked cryptocurrency bulls to point me to the killer apps. First, it was ICOs, which didn't really pan out. Too many scammy founders. Then it was NFTs, which were a lot like the pogs of my youth.

Fun for a day or two. More recently, it's been prediction markets. I'm sorry, gambling, which I admit is a legit app, just not one that I'm interested in. But knocking 3% off every transaction in the world, that dog could hunt. Unfortunately, it's also going to require government intervention, of which I'm a perma-bear.
