“Visa and Mastercard, SWIFT… the innovation on them has grinded to a halt, it doesn’t really change, nothing really happens, it doesn’t move, it’s very centralized, it’s very controlled. What we have with the Bitcoin Lightning network, it’s open, interoperable, that allows for innovation to happen overnight.”
— Danny Scott
