Yesterday at a coffee shop, I sat down next to a Meta developer and a Microsoft PM. We got to talking. When they asked what I do and I mentioned stablecoins, I watched their eyes glaze over. Smart, technical, successful people. Stablecoins meant nothing to them. But when I reframed it as "programmable money," I saw the gears started to click. They started to ask more questions, and could tell they wanted to dive deeper. I pointed them to where I'd start: our M0 episode on Stableminded. @LucaProsperi, M0's co-founder, said something that stuck with me: "Money is the most complicated, the most complex mass adopted product there is. The money you see in your bank account does not exist." For developers, that reframes everything. Money isn't fixed. It's an abstraction layer that can be rebuilt. Walking away, I kept thinking about a bigger problem. We have hours on hours of content at this point. Conversations with founders building the future of money movement. Do you need to watch all of it to understand stablecoins? Absolutely not. (but its helps) The most valuable insights are scattered across various episodes. A 3-minute explanation here, a 10-minute deep dive there. The problem is finding them. That's what I'm working on now: how do we help someone go from zero to one on stablecoins in the least amount of time possible? Not "here's 10 episodes to watch." But "here's the 20 minutes that will change how you think about money." For now, if you're stablecoin-curious, here's the learning path I'd recommend: Start with infrastructure: → @M0: Why stablecoins are secretly silling banks Then real-world spending: → @Raincards + @Visa: How stablecoins become "dollar cards" at 150M+ merchants Then enterprise adoption: → @Solana: Why PayPal, Visa, Fiserv and others are building here → @Crossmint : How MoneyGram launched in 2 months with 1.5 engineers → @Iron: Enterprise stablecoin payment infrastructure (acquired by @MoonPay) Then applications: → @KASTxyz What the consumer experience looks like (stablecoin neobank) → @Noble_xyz: Composable yield and the builder flywheel Then global scale: → @Borderlessxyz: Unified liquidity orchestration across 200+ countries → @Keyrails: The quantum layer, rethinking stablecoins for emerging markets Each layer builds on the last. The bigger unlock is curated moments, not full episodes. That's what we're building toward. If you could learn about stablecoins in under an hour, how would you want that presented? Short video clips? A written guide? Something else?
