“Joe DePinto, director of Sales at Barpay, a standalone solution for contactless QR code menus, mobile ordering, and mobile payments, agrees. ‘You can either look at this as a terrible time or you can look at this as an incredible opportunity to try new things,’ he says, touting the benefits of technology especially. ‘I think overall the service industry has been somewhat reluctant to adapt technology, but now with the current situation, they’re starting to see technology can save you money, and it actually is a little bit easier for the customers as well…'”
“Have you tried Haste? The developers of Bitcoin’s latest gaming platform have big plans for the system that pays players who make its leaderboards. In this interview, we find out how a pair of former professional baseball players got into Bitcoin and created a point-of-sale system before turning to games, utilizing BSV’s RUN Token Protocol and microtransactions.
Like so many other useful Bitcoin apps that started to become available again in the past two years, Haste grew from the notion that small, fast payments with miniscule fees could create whole new business models. It’s amazing sometimes that we have to remind ourselves of this simple premise, and notice how far BTC has strayed from this idea in its quest for price pumps.”
