🍕Do you recall the days when 10,000 BTC was worth merely $41, which was just enough for two delivered pizzas?

🌟If not, today's a great reminder as we're celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the historic moment when Bitcoin was first used to purchase a tangible item!

😜Surely, if Laszlo Hanyecz had a time machine, he'd zip back to 2010 and happily pay with a credit card instead. After all, at today's rates, that pizza order would have cost him roughly 💸$650 million!

However, this day is about more than just pizza or Bitcoin. It marks Crypto's evolution to becoming a financial asset, reshaping how we think about money and banking.

🌍This day is a look forward to how cryptocurrencies can simplify payments worldwide and transform the global financial ecosystem.

Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

It’s safe to say that technologies are impacting every aspect of our lives. And philanthropy is no longer an exception.

The recent Binance Charity Survey has an interesting nugget: 32% of respondents prefer to donate with crypto. The key reason is transparency: donors like to see their contributions reach intended destinations.

In another example, charitable initiatives, such as Binance’s $10 million donation for Ukraine and support for earthquake victims in Turkey, show crypto’s potential for rapid, transparent aid.

Crypto donations offer unmatched speed and immediate aid delivery, and blockchain technology allows for transparent transactions, building trust among donors.

What is more, crypto’s global nature cuts out fees for worldwide donations, while many regions offer tax benefits for crypto contributions, encouraging more generous giving.

As cryptocurrency and philanthropy join forces, digital generosity creates a more connected and compassionate world.

The impact of cryptocurrency in this development is clear.It offers a new way of handling transactions, which could transform the economic models of space exploration.

Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are adopting digital currencies, moving us towards a space where blockchain could manage satellite data networks and support missions to Mars and beyond.

For a deeper dive into how these technologies are reshaping our world, explore our newest article below.

Max Krupyshev, CEO and Co-founder of CoinsPaid, recently shared his insights on the potential of cryptocurrency in eСommerce with Sifted, the leading media brand for the European startup community, backed by the Financial Times.

It’s safe to say that crypto adoption is on the rise with the number of people owning cryptocurrencies increased by 34% in 2023, to 580m users worldwide (according to Crypto.com).

Moreover, “The past year has been a game-changer for crypto, with big moves in regulation, tech and big players stepping into the arena,” says Max Krupyshev.

The article raises an important question: Is crypto for eCommerce the new future of payments?

Picture a world where every voice can shape the future—a place where decisions are made together, by everyone involved.

This is the essence of a DAO, where everything from finance to social clubs and political movements can thrive collaboratively.

As of February 2024, the DAO landscape had already expanded to over 19,800 entities, engaging more than 10 million people with governance tokens, and boasting a market cap nearing $30.3 billion.

This growth is fueled by a desire for more democratic governance, the robust security of blockchain, and dissatisfaction with traditional corporate structures.

One example is MakerDAO, which has transformed finance by facilitating over $5 billion in decentralised loans with its DAI stablecoin, bypassing conventional financial intermediaries.

For DAOs, Ethereum is the most popular platform since it happens to be home to most governance tokens.

DAOs shake up the old ways of doing things, promoting a system that's democratic, transparent, and efficient.

At CoinsPaid, our belief in cryptocurrencies extends far beyond their current utility as digital assets; we see them as the keystones of a future where financial transactions are more inclusive, efficient, and secure.

Why do we believe?

1) Crypto tears down barriers, allowing for instant, international transactions at lower costs, fueling everything from business operations to humanitarian efforts, exemplified by significant crypto donations to Ukraine.
2) Cryptocurrencies promise financial inclusivity, offering vital services in regions underserved by traditional banks.
3) Crypto payments provide a level of security and transparency that traditional financial systems struggle to match.

At CoinsPaid, our suite of crypto payment solutions is designed to bridge the gap between the innovative potential of cryptocurrencies and the practical needs of businesses and consumers.

How has crypto impacted you or your business? Share your experiences and insights below.

Max Krupyshev, CoinsPaid’s CEO, received a prestigious individual honour. Global Brands Magazine named him “Best Visionary CEO in Crypto Payments — Europe 2024.”

This recognition highlights Max’s exceptional leadership and strategic vision, which have been crucial in propelling CoinsPaid to its current position as a market leader.

Looking ahead, CoinsPaid remains committed to delivering exceptional value to our customers and driving a positive change in the industry.

Cryptocurrencies are continuing to transform global finance, offering hope and financial access to those excluded by traditional banking.

This shift, crucial for financial inclusion, promises to lift millions from poverty, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals.

Financial inclusion means accessible, affordable banking, which is especially vital in regions lacking infrastructure.

Crypto offers stability in economies facing inflation, such as Argentina, where people turn to stablecoins against currency devaluation.

Cryptos support SDGs by enabling access to financial services, crucial for poverty alleviation and reduced inequalities.

The World Bank notes a rise in financial account ownership in developing countries, fueled by digital services and accelerated by the pandemic.

The 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index highlights the major adoption that is happening in Asia, emphasising cryptocurrencies' role beyond speculation—vital for daily transactions, savings, and payments.

Do you agree?

A recent survey by Binance, which engaged over a thousand individuals from different corners of the globe, sheds light on how people view and use crypto in their daily lives, revealing the human side of this digital revolution.

The data shows that crypto is empowering and connecting people across the globe.

The interesting Binance survey revealed diverse motivations for crypto use, from seeking additional income (45%) to striving for financial independence (36%). Many people are also using crypto as a hedge against inflation.

In contrast, traditional banking barriers, such as high fees and slow transactions, are driving 33% towards the efficiency of crypto, making it a tool for financial inclusion for 76% of respondents.

Daily use of crypto also happens to be rising, with 36% using it for regular transactions, further signalling a shift towards mainstream acceptance.

Beyond trends, crypto payments are charting a new course towards a more inclusive, efficient, and connected financial future.

Integrating AI into cryptocurrency payments offers significant advantages, including enhanced security, increased efficiency, cost savings, and an innovative competitive edge.


🔹AI shines in fraud detection by using machine learning to protect transactions, analysing data in real-time to identify irregularities.
🔹It improves the KYC process, making document verification smoother and ensuring compliance, thus making digital finance more secure and welcoming.
🔹AI transforms financial management by acting as a virtual finance advisor, automating transaction analysis, and promoting smarter financial choices.

🔓However, merging AI with cryptocurrency payments presents challenges like data privacy, high implementation costs, need for human oversight, scalability, and ethical considerations.

We're excited about the fast-paced development of the cryptocurrency payment industry.

What do you think about the development of artificial intelligence?

It's evident: big investors are ready to jump into the crypto market, with SEC having given the green light to 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs in January of this year.

Surveys indicate a strong bullish trend among institutionals toward crypto, with a significant growth in interest and planned investment over the coming years.

Such engagement promises to inject liquidity into the market, potentially stabilising and maturing the crypto ecosystem – similar to the transformative impact gold ETFs approval in the early 2000s had on their respective market.

Despite challenges, including regulatory hurdles and volatility, the trajectory of Bitcoin ETFs mirrors the early days of gold ETFs, suggesting a potential for significant growth.

By incorporating Bitcoin ETFs into their portfolios, institutionals can mitigate the asset's volatility while benefiting from its potential for high returns.

CoinsPaid' CEO & Co-founder Max Krupyshev shared his insights with crypto.news on the role of crypto donations during the war in Ukraine.

Over the course of two years, Ukraine raised over $225M worth of crypto. However, critical aid was still purchased for fiat. In his opinion, Max raised a question of crypto not being further used as a means of payment for critical humanitarian aid during the war when prompt reaction is required to save more lives.

"Millions of accumulated funds had to lay untouched until someone would figure out how to convert huge sums into fiat and transfer them to the bank accounts for further use. If crypto payments were widely accepted, we would have been able to act faster," he states.
