Around the Coin interviews Flexa CEO Tyler SpaldingAround the Coin, a fintech and crypto podcast, recently hosted Flexa CEO Tyler Spalding for a deep dive into digital asset payments. The discussion touched on the roadblocks that prevent merchants from accepting digital assets, why merchants might not want to accept direct digital payments without an intermediary (hint: privacy!), the costs of integrating digital asset payments products, and how Flexa solves for these roadblocks and costs. Tyler also discussed why Amp was created with a fixed supply, and why he doesn’t believe in burning tokens.
