cash bundles → digital wallets. this is what Stable Summer looks like in real life. buckle up kids, it’s story time. meet Bryan Weaver, affectionately nicknamed “Narco Santa” due to his propensity for carrying large amounts of cash while having a giant white beard. 25 years ago, Bryan started @hoopssagrado as a cultural exchange program centered on basketball. every summer, he takes 25 kids from inner city D.C. down to Guatemala. the kids work with local Guatemalan kids to coach, teach, and run basketball camps, creating a fully cross cultural experience. to make these camps a reality, Bryan was carrying around giant bundles of cash to pay the teachers, tournament organizers, bus drivers, and everyone else involved in making Hoops Sagrado run. when we found out about this, we immediately jumped on the opportunity to drop that Narco Santa nickname. through the power of the Stellar Disbursement Platform and the @beansapp wallet, the folks that Bryan pays are now receiving their funds onchain in USDC (thanks @circle). they then can cash out those funds through our partnership with @MoneyGram. there’s a lot of chatter, but these are the stories that matter (see the rhyme?). never forget why we’re here. getting real people better access to their money is the name of the game.
