Instagram Bringing NFTs to 2.9B People | Sandeep & Mihailo, Polygon

Sandeep Nailwal and Mihailo Bjelic are the Co-Founders of Polygon. They’ve been on Bankless in the past, but not during a time like the one we currently find ourselves in. However, the bear market is not stopping Polygon from building. Polygon is enabling Instagram to bring NFTs to 2.9B people. And that's not all! They're also working with Stripe to allow USDC payments via Polygon. Hear how exactly they plan on doing this, what they plan on building next, how they're thinking about the bear market, and so much more! ------ 📣 ALCHEMIX | Get a self-repaying loan today! https://bankless.cc/Alchemix  ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 https://bankless.cc/Across  🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA  👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO https://bankless.cc/aave  ⚡️ LIDO | LIQUID ETH STAKING https://bankless.cc/lido  🔐 LEDGER | NANO S PLUS WALLET https://bankless.cc/Ledger  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 8:41 Instagram is Adding NFTs 15:01 Meta’s Crypto Team 17:40 What Instagram NFTs Look Like 21:30 The Potential of NFTs on Instagram 26:31 Is Polygon Ready to Support New Users? 29:58 Stripe to Allow USDC Payments via Polygon 35:35 Addresses, Stripe Wallet & Gas Fees? 41:12 Polygon’s Strategy Going Forward 49:04 Polygon Supernets 53:38 Weathering the Bear Market Storm 58:55 Thoughts on the Market Crash 1:02:24 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Sandeep & Mihailo's Previous Bankless Episodes https://youtu.be/Gf2aalPt8-k  https://youtu.be/rCJUBUTFElE  Sandeep Nailwal https://twitter.com/sandeepnailwal  Mihailo Bjelic https://twitter.com/MihailoBjelic  Instagram NFTs https://imgur.com/a/c1vBnM2  Stripe to Allow USDC Payments via Polygon https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/04/21/stripe-taps-polygon-to-allow-customers-to-make-payments-in-usdc/  Polygon Supernets https://twitter.com/0xPolygon/status/1517502692670640129  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
