>Remembering a sequence of 12 to 24 words in a precise but nonsensical order is basically impossible, unless you're the Real Rain Man from YouTube or the guy who can tell the shopkeeper the UPC code for everything he just bought or your man who can tell you the value of π to the nth decimal place No, you just haven't tried. Are you really that mentally lazy?

I really like your last point. This is what I found so far on VISA. >Global payments giant Visa has introduced a project that aims to be a “universal adapter” of blockchains that can connect multiple cryptocurrencies, stablecoins as well as central bank digital currencies (CBDC). According to an official announcement on Thursday, Visa’s research team is working on a “Universal Payment Channel” (UPC) initiative, a blockchain interoperability hub connecting multiple blockchain networks and enabling transfers of digital assets from different protocols and wallets. “Imagine splitting the check with your friends, when everyone at the table is using a different type of money — some using a central bank digital currency \[...\] like Sweden’s eKrona, and others preferring a private stablecoin like USDC,” Visa wrote, on another article >On Monday, Visa said it accepted a virtual currency payment for the first time, marking a milestone for the 62-year-old company. Specifically, the payments giant settled a transaction using cryptocurrency plumbing known as the Ethereum blockchain, a distributed accounting ledger based on the technology behind Bitcoin. The transaction involved a Visa partner, Crypto.com, a Hong Kong-based issuer of cryptocurrency-backed prepaid cards, sending Visa a U.S. dollar-pegged virtual currency called USD Coin, or USDC so some sort of stable coin? makes sense but then that is tied to fiat which defeats the purpose of discordant system that does not depend on the US dollar.
