Real Time Kollisions

Pre-Show

• Federal Reserve Threatens to Sue Bitcoin Magazine Over FEDNOW Parody Merch
  • The rollout of FedNow, a realtime payments system, has been predictably slow with a focus on bank-to-bank xfers
  • It compares favorably with the adoption of RTP, a private realtimes payment network
  • RTP is faster and cheaper than ACH or wire xfers but expensive compared to the bitcoin lightning network

    • But fraud is still an unsovled problem even on these more modern payment rails
