35 Quotes by Jeremy Allaire

This is the thing that I think we're all learning from the Chinese: that this merging of messaging, media, and payments together really makes sense to people.

We're barely scratching the surface of how people experience and utilize p2p payments, despite it being a multi-millennium-old behavior.

The idea of cross-border payments is going to completely go away... Our vision is for there to be no distinction between international and domestic payments.

I think there's a need for services that will make it easier for Chinese consumers to spend globally. The Bitcoin network could be an attractive solution.

We'd love to see a world where Venmo added support on the blockchain, then a Circle customer could pay a Venmo customer using their QR code or their blockchain address - and go between those instantly and for free.
