Alvaro Sol - IBEX Running the Lightning Network, Paying with Bitcoin at Starbucks and More
Description
While most shows talk about price predictions and study charts, we at Bitcoin Beach are using bitcoin as a unit of exchange, right now. Alvaro Sol and IBEX are making it happen in real-time with a hyper-efficient settlement layer that we call the lightning network.
Alvaro introduces the BAZ app, it's a super app just launched in Mexico to 20 million users. You will be able to use it to buy, sell, send and receive bitcoin through the lightning network.
"...we are able to settle on the supply chain side with split payments" - Alvaro Sol
"(BAKKT with IBEX)... will be able to deliver fiat to fiat settlements with customers not even knowing that bitcoin is in the middle of it... ... what we are selling is the fin-tech experience." Alvaro Sol
