Today we’re launching Flipcash, a new payments app that takes the experience of physical cash and makes it digital. There is a lot to like about physical cash. It’s a fast and simple way to transact. There’s no phone numbers, emails, or learning curves. Just hand someone a piece of paper and that’s it. Unfortunately we’re increasingly moving to a cashless society. In some ways it makes sense. Physical cash is annoying to get, easy to lose, and a pain to make change. We want the best of both. We want the simplicity and speed of physical cash, combined with the advantages of digital payments. That’s why we built Flipcash. Flipcash takes the experience of physical cash and makes it digital. Handing someone cash is as easy as pulling out a piece of digital paper, and having the other person scan it with their phone. That’s it. Like cash it’s global too. Flipcash is available for download almost everywhere, so you can hand someone digital cash wherever you are. You can also hand it to someone over a video call, or send it as a link through any app you like. You can also transact in any currency. Flipcash automatically does the conversion, with no fees, and no spread. Travelling around the world with friends? Use Flipcash to settle the bill wherever you go. Sending cash to someone in another part of the world? Flipcash works great for that too. All balances are held in regulated US dollar stablecoins, giving users confidence in their balance while also earning us revenue from the interest. This allows us to provide a robust, reliable, and sustainable experience while charging zero fees on Flipcash transactions. Funds can easily be withdrawn from the app at any time, with exchanges in over 190 countries supporting withdrawals from Flipcash. This experience is only possible because of Solana. I first met @toly in 2019, where he took me and @tannerphilp through the concept of Solana on a white board. After doing some deep analysis with our team we grew confident that Solana would be the blockchain of the future. A project we were working on at the time became the first ever project to migrate to Solana. Going all in on Solana has proven to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. It is only with the speed and scale of Solana that we can build something as magical as digital cash. We want to give a huge shout out to Toly, his team, and the entire Solana community. Thank you for everything you’ve done! Check out the video below, and then give Flipcash a download. You can easily find it in the App Store and Play Store by searching “flipcash”, one word. You can also get it by going to flipcash.com Show your friends and family what is only possible on Solana. Show them digital cash. Show them Flipcash.

Videos like this get me excited about @flipchat_app. How do you keep bots out of public group chats in a world of AI? You make them pay to participate.

I officially started working with @fredwilson 14 years ago this Friday. I still work with him today. That is the longest I’ve worked with anyone in my career. Through many challenging ups and downs Fred stood by me. I owe him a lot. He is one of the best.
