It’s about ripping out the old rails of finance and rebuilding them on-chain. In this episode of the Bitcoin Economy, Avi sits down with Jeremy Allman, CEO of PayStand—a company you’ve probably never heard of, yet it’s quietly powering over 1 million businesses and moving billions through the Bitcoin economy. Jeremy breaks down how PayStand is cutting out Visa, Mastercard, and wires, and giving companies a real competitive edge. He shares his personal journey from the dot-com boom to Occupy Wall Street, and why Bitcoin became the answer to “too big to fail.” This isn’t just theory. It’s enterprise adoption, circular economies, and grassroots Bitcoin education across El Salvador, Guatemala, Cuba, and beyond. PayStand even reinvests 10% of profits into making Bitcoin usable for the other 7 billion people. If you want to understand how Bitcoin goes from speculation to infrastructure, this is it. ⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Event Overview01:33 Meet Jeremy Allman: Background and Journey02:57 PayStand: Revolutionizing Business Finance with Bitcoin03:16 Philanthropy and Global Impact06:29 Education and Grassroots Movements09:19 Institutional Adoption and Future of Bitcoin11:28 Employee Incentives and Bitcoin Integration14:20 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
