Welcome to the What Bitcoin did podcast.

Hi there, how you all doing?

Welcome to the What Bitcoin did podcast brought to you by Krakhan and next up for my lightning month I've got an

interview with Sergei Kotler from Bit refill to discuss how they are using lightning in a

retail environment but before that I've got a message from my show sponsors So first up I'm going to talk to you about

cracking again, a big lead sponsor and now I am now an active user of the platform. So I mentioned

previously at the end of each month when I'm balancing the books for my podcast because I've got people I've got

people who've got to pay me.

A lot of this is now done in Bitcoin.

It just makes a lot more sense.

I've got customers who are international and I've got people I work with who are international, so

it's usually just a bit easier to pay people with

Bitcoin.

And previously I've been using coin-based, but since Cracken have become a sponsor I said I would try it out.

I'd give it a go and see how it was.

And I'd previously submitted my KYC and I was approved to level 3 in under 2 hours

which is a really great start that was really cool and yeah using the platform and

it's pretty cool no problems if I'm to give an honest assessment, I'm looking forward to the design and UX upgrades that are coming because I know there's some coming. I can't give you any dates, but I've spoken to the team. They've got lots of cool new updates coming. You've probably seen a bunch of news or you've heard me talk about all the things are doing.

So this is definitely something they've worked on. But yeah, it was super easy.

When I had to buy some Bitcoin, I just created an order. When I had to sell some Bitcoin, I just did a market order and the

call the same was when I actually went to transfer it back to my bank account. I

can't even tell you how quick it was because I didn't even think of time in it.
