Argues that the real Bitcoin killer app is peer-to-peer finance using BTC as a universal clearing layer, not tokens or speculation, and claims about 60,000 trades per day with an average $70 trade. Says ~90% of volume today is speculative but P2P solves payments, remittance and e‑commerce by matching local buyers and sellers, enabling near‑zero fees or even 1–2% profits via arbitrage. Gives concrete outcomes: two schools built in Rwanda after converting a quarter million USD in Bitcoin to Rwandan francs.
