Fiat-Based "Transaction Processors"

It would be interesting to see a fiat service for broadcasting Ethereum transactions to the network. Right now, most fiat on-ramps come in two flavours:

1. A centralized exchange (like Coinbase, FTX and Binance). Poor user experience, slow, questionable regulatory frameworks, lack of transparency, often turn out to be insolvent.
2. A fiat-to-token on-ramp (like Ramp.xyz and more recently Stripe). Better user experience, but limited in functionality and progammability.

I think there should be a third category: fiat-based transaction processors. Say you are an app developer and wish for your user to initiate a complex transaction flow, e.g.

call method CrowdfundContract#deposit(), but it requires a transfer of 5 USDC to the contract to succeed

1. Download your Twitter archive

You can find this feature in Settings > Download Twitter Archive. It might take 24 hours to receive. Unzip the file and open the data folder in your terminal:

cd ~/Downloads/twitter-archive-zip-you-downloaded/data

(I have seen reports that this function may no longer be working, so this guide is mostly useful to those who were lucky enough to already have downloaded their archive.)
