    “If Flipcash works, the impact could be profound. Not because it creates another payment app. Because it changes the unit around which economic life can organize. Today, most communities are socially real but economically weak. A campus exists. A town exists. A creator

    All these things happened to me. I got debanked. My company got debanked. I got sued by the SEC. I got charged by the SEC. I had to sell my billion dollar app for pennies on the dollar. I never had any regrets though. Crypto is too important to the future of society. I’m all in.

    Some exciting news: we may have found a home for Kik! We just signed an LOI with a great company. They want to buy the app, continue growing it for our millions of users, and take the Kin integration to the next level. Not a done deal yet, but could be a great win win. More soon

    The Kik X beta is shutting down today, September 27th. All of Kik will shut down October 19th, 9 years to the day after we launched. It’s going to be a sad day, to say the least

    The @Kin_Ecosystem was the first project in the world to announce migrating to @solana. My conviction in that decision is higher than ever. Solana is the best L1 out there for developers who are serious about building mainstream apps. By far.

    I had this happen to me in 2019. My pregnant wife was calling. She was at the grocery store checkout with a bunch of groceries waiting in bags. “None of the cards are working.” She was embarrassed and upset. I could hear our 1 year old crying in the background. “I’m coming” I

    Retweet or quote tweet this if you’ve ever been de-banked because you own crypto or are in crypto! I have, multiple times, whether it’s banks refusing to open you an account because of crypto, closing your account because of crypto, etc

    The SEC just filed a lawsuit against Kik for our 2017 sale of Kin sec.gov/news/press-rel… We are finally on the path to getting the clarity our industry so desperately needs. We are excited to take on the SEC in court, and are confident we will win. It is time to #defendcrypto

    Today we’re launching Flipcash, a new payments app that takes the experience of physical cash and makes it digital. There is a lot to like about physical cash. It’s a fast and simple way to transact. There’s no phone numbers, emails, or learning curves. Just hand someone a piece

    It runs on Solana. There is no other chain that exists today that we could deliver the Code experience on. Solana as an L1 is in a league of its own. Super impressive what @toly and the team have built.

    Appreciate the pin @CoinMarketCap Everyone in the @Kin_Ecosystem has been working hard for years to bring crypto to the mainstream. There is a deep belief that crypto applied in the right way can create a better future for all.

    I love crypto, but I’ve always struggled when my family and friends ask me “so what crypto app should I try?” That changes today. We built Code to give the average person a simple and compelling way to pay anyone in the world, only made possible through crypto. 1/n

    Nine years ago Kik went live. Since then hundreds of millions of people have had billions of meaningful conversations. I am excited that our amazing users will continue to have a great home, and that Kik will continue to grow and evolve as a pillar of the Kin Ecosystem. Onward!
