Anyone would know stripe's plan for cryptocurrencies?
They've invested in stellar[1] in 2014, a blockchain network that facilitate to move money more easily. And then stopped bitcoin support in 2018[2]. Then no news. I'm wondering if the efforts were only pushed by @gdb[3], then when he left (now openAI's CTO), they've somehow lost interest ? I'm really curious about what they think internally.
When I talked with Patrick Collison about Bitcoin in late 2013 (prior to Stellar's release), he kept asking (paraphrased) "Why use Bitcoin instead of making your own cryptocurrency so you could own the whole thing?"
