    WhatsApp is now officially testing crypto payments via the Novi wallet. Eventually every messaging app realizes you can now move money instantly and inexpensively, just like you can communicate instantly and inexpensively.

    Soooo Mark Zuckerberg's WhatsApp launches crypto payments... I dno about you guys but it's a no thank you from me!🤝

    Governments were terrified that Facebook/Meta would dominate payments by creating a stablecoin to add to its messaging services. So now it's outsourcing the stablecoin to do the same thing. Without the shared governance of its original Libra proposal. Is this better? https://twit…
