“Everything has changed. First they ignored Bitcoin, then they laughed, then they fought it. Now they’re trying to join it and make the most of it...It used to be taboo in finance.

"The big, big stab that we're going to be making - the thing that could make PPQ go from kind of like a small community of users to like a gorilla website with millions of users - is this creator monetization program where we allow outsiders to create some cool new image model or a new AI tool, serve it up on PPQ, and then also allow us to distribute their model on other websites that are orders of magnitude larger than us. And then we do it all with lightning payments." ~ Matt Ahlborg Listen to Chat_153 - Welcome to Subscription Hell with Matt Ahlborg of @PayPerQ on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

"Our primary payment methods are crypto. Lightning is actually about 50% of all deposits on our platform. The pay per use, the extremely small fees, the final settlement of Lightning, is huge. And so I think that if we were to fast forward ten years, I think that subscriptions are going to be used less in ten years than they are now. And companies like PPQ that are offering it all in one place, on a per use model, are going to win." - Matt Ahlborg Listen to Chat_153 - Welcome to Subscription Hell with Matt Ahlborg
