🚀 Mesh × Visa. 175 MILLION merchants. One giant leap for the future of money!
Six years ago, I started Mesh with a simple belief: Money should move freely. Anywhere. Anytime.
Today, we’re turning that vision into reality.
Through our groundbreaking partnership with Visa, crypto and stablecoin balances can now become spendable at 175 million merchants worldwide.
No separate card. No cash-out. Just tap and pay.
This isn’t just crypto going mainstream. It’s blockchain and tokenization going mainstream! 🌎
Six years in the making. And this is just the end of the beginning. 🚀
🎤 Unveiling it LIVE on the main stage at Money20/20 today at 10:40am PST!
Mesh and @Visa are partnering to make crypto and stablecoin balances spendable anywhere Visa is accepted: 175M+ merchant locations, straight from the wallet apps people already use.
No separate card. No cash-out. Nothing for merchants to change.

Sharing some of our thoughts below!

I know he was a hothead and certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of some teammates and fans. But as a non-Cubs fan, it’ll never sit right with me that Carlos Zambrano didn’t make the Cubs’ 150 team. It felt like he defined an era of Cubs baseball when I was growing up.

hahah maybe for the pure workflow / saas stuff

Over the past few years it feels like there's been an ultra-concentration of attention, as a company you're either in the mix or you're not in the mix. So many otherwise successful and capable people are feeling left out/passed over and this is bad

Søren Kierkegaard on the Importance of Walking
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
