I pull out a crisp $5 bill from my wallet and hand it directly to the other person.
I call it HumanPay.

I don’t want to touch that fake ass poop paper
I've heard of this. It's sponsored by the human fund, is that the one?
Would you accept a crisp high-five?
Second time I've heard about taler in two months. A new record. I'd have to look into it again, but I can say is that if it soceeds, I hope it brings gnunet with it (except gns. It sucks and doesn't make sense
It can be paid over Poob. Poob pays it for you.
paid over Boob
At first I misread it this way, and I was like "ah yes, the world's oldest payment system"
I can see the memetic advertisement by now! "Tested with ur mom", etc.
Easier to just give your friend a BJ and call it even. Several if it’s a big bill.
I've gotta quit hanging out with ducks.
You think Canada's approach is better?! TELL CARNEY. The government's push for Open Banking and increased fintechs is literally them wanting to bring in all these nonsense variant fintech apps... for reasons unknown.
Just use a bank? Why all these regulation dodging strange alternatives. Most banks even do email/mobile/tap transfers these days.
My guess is that USAian banks charge stupid fees for any sort of transfer between different banks
Bank transfer wouldn't be instant. A lot of banks incorporate Zelle, so that's kind of the bank's third-party etransfer. Unless your bank is not one of the ones who has it, or you prefer to use CashApp because that's what your friends all use, etc.
cash app is only "instant" because its an internal transfer. Internal transfers within banks are generally instant and interbank is still pretty quick these days. I think its hourly.
Made a trip to LA with the kids this summer and the surfing lessons guy made me pay extra for paying him on PayPal because that's the only payment app I can use as a Canadian.
This is everything now lol. Impossible to move people off existing platforms because of choice overload. I feel this is why linux gets held up too, 6000 distros to choose makes it hard vs "its windoze I use nao"
