However, on top of that, there's three and a half percent credit card fees.

And then on top of that, that is 2% currency conversion fees.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

So I'm pretty much paying nearly 6%, 5.8%.

Web3 with Sam Kamani

three percent or something like that for transactions for so for every hundred thousand dollars nearly six thousand dollars or five thousand eight hundred thirty dollars is lost to stripe and and with stable coins that will come down to under under thirty dollars so it's the the difference is more than 10x so it's like whenever a product is more than 10x better and then it is faster it's instant the transaction is instant as you don't have to wait

Anyone can have a DeFi wallet on both the sides.

376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

You don't need bank accounts, anything.

It is like the stable coin thing is so much superior.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

However, credit cards had like, you know, decades and decades to get that level of penetration in the market.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

So, yeah, I think stable coins will take less than that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

but it is bound to happen over time.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

That's how I see it.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

And then when stablecoins are the predominant

method of transferring value, even in the non-blockchain world, agents will just adopt that.

But we might be, I don't know how long we are away, five years, two years and timing is everything in the world of startups.

Web3 with Sam Kamani

However, one thing I saw at ETH Denver this year was that there were

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

so much so much activity around open claw and and everything to do with ai agents and so many people who you used to work in blockchain are now working in agents and stuff and these people are crypto native so they bring their decentralized principles as well as they are comfortable with using crypto or stable coins from day one they don't have to go through their education curve

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

So, yeah, so that's my sort of like two cents on that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
376: Inside CMT Digital: 10 Years of Crypto VC Insights with Oliver Jaros

But I pretty much agree with what you said.
