FedNow is extremely exciting, as is the development of local instant payment networks and I’m hoping they can eclipse card networks soon. Development in the US hasn’t been as fast as in other emerging markets though wrt their own networks

As for Venmo/Paypal interoperability across other fintechs is something they’re not supporting at the moment for instance I can’t send money to my friend who uses CashApp and have to use Zelle (so ultimately Zelle/banks win). But that being said they do have a large user base between their two platforms.

Paylias is more closer to the links you shared around instant payment systems, than Wise. In an ideal world, Wise would integrate Paylias’s APIs and issue you an alias that you could use to send/receive/pay money to a friend that uses another wallet.

The truth isnt as simple as you make it out to be. Pakistan was just handed into the control of a new government which seems to be taking a proactive stand with popular measures coming into play.

India is entering into election terms which could be the reason these tensions are escalating. Both countries using this to further their own political agendas. India crossed the Line of Control, Pakistan shot down and captured pilots. And just announced the release of said pilot(s). It seems that Pakistan has no interest in playing with fire, although they are confident in dealing with any threat that comes their way. Indias current government seems more interested in playing this game and spurring nationalistic fervor since that particular regime has a very real interest in getting reelected.

Both countries have intelligence agencies that probably fund terrorist camps. So blaming just one country is highly misguided.

But yes i agree with you, its very easy for outsiders to cheaply throw words in an article without deeply researching whats actually happening.

Can you bypass ISPs with a P2P network such as a mesh network?
