hey @luna – this is just a step by step playbook to get there. If any other financial services company would store, exchange, and provide us APIs, I think we’d look in to them. That being said making it convenient to spend is coming up since credit cards processed via Visa is not news; processing BAT and ensuring fraud does not happen is non trivial.
Its mostly confusing because it is a hard problem to weave the existing fiat processing worlds and crypto worlds and develop real world use cases that just work, and work ultra seamless on day-1.
Uphold, like you pointed out, is church and state to Brave and allows us to outsource the banking and KYC/verification burden while tackling the needed compliance issues we deal with everyday.
All I can is we are not done yet! Expect a lot of what you said to happen but partners need to be ready, we need to be big enough for them, and the use cases for quick network growth need to evolve. We are, however, giving it a go trying and erring along the way!
Thanks!
