I'm imagining a meeting where somebody's like "Hey, can we delay this announcement until like a couple hours after the hearing" https://t.co/pRB8jYzMoa

Another small step in the right direction. Today, we’re starting the rollout of the @novi wallet in @WhatsApp in the ??. On a personal level, this is the best farewell gift from the best team ever! pic.twitter.com/6jk4NO60wv

There's a new way to try the @Novi digital wallet. Starting today, a limited number of people in the US will be able to send and receive money using Novi on @WhatsApp, making sending money to family and friends as easy as sending a message. ?? pic.twitter.com/dGz3lejri7

New in the US: use your @Novi digital wallet to send and receive money right within a @WhatsApp chat. People use WA to coordinate sending money to loved ones, and now Novi will help them do that securely, instantly and with no fees. https://t.co/4wG4t8zwKh

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://t.co/TmjpkHR9DE

So, Novi is trying to eat Venmo's lunch now. And thanks to existing WhatsApp adoption, I believe they have great chances of succeeding.

At last they're doing things that actually make sense, albeit somewhat terrifying given Facebook's reputation and strong network effects. https://t.co/BrRfYmCE5o

WhatsApp doing #crypto payments.

Probably nothing.

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.
