⚡ Making Bitcoin useful, not just valuable
Most people see Bitcoin as an investment: buy low, sell high. But Roy and the Breez team believe Bitcoin’s real power is as everyday money — something you can actually use, not just hold.
💥 Lightning makes Bitcoin fast and easy
On its own, Bitcoin is slow and expensive to move. Lightning, a network of payment channels, fixes that by making payments instant and cheap, so you can use Bitcoin for coffee, online shopping and for everything.
🚀 From crypto crowd to everyday fintech
Breez started by working with crypto companies and is now working across all major fintechs. Big fintech players like PayPal and Revolut are also stepping in, helping to take Bitcoin from niche to mainstream. Breez’s secure self custodial SDK enables developers to offer Lightning payments in any app.
🪙 Stablecoins are changing the game
Lightning is also handling stablecoins like USDT, enabling people to send familiar currencies easily.
💡 Final thoughts from the journey
Roy shares what he has learned after seven years: focus on early adopters, be patient, and choose investors who bring real value, not just cash. Big change takes time.
