Google is implementing the UCP (Unified Commerce Platform) initiative, breaking the monopoly pattern of traditional payment systems. As centralized payment networks are gradually decoupled, the demand for value storage and transfer will inevitably seek new outlets — which happens to be Bitcoin's core value proposition for a long time. As Web3 infrastructure gradually improves, the cracks in traditional finance are widening, and Bitcoin's position as a non-sovereign store of value is beginning to stand out. From the reconstruction of payment portals to diversified asset allocation, the market is already preparing for this transition.

The payment monopoly has been shattered. Is the spring of Bitcoin coming? I don't think so; Google's move is just redistributing benefits.

Google's move is indeed ruthless; centralized payments are being eroded. Bitcoin has been waiting for this day for a long time.

If I had listened to this logic two years earlier, I wouldn't be holding a bunch of trapped coins now... Google working on UCP, Bitcoin highlighting, Web3 improving—sounds just like the real deal. Why am I still cutting losses?

Google is causing trouble again. This time, they're really threatening the payment industry. I just enjoy watching big companies backstab each other.

Google's move was to carve out a share, but it ended up paving the way for Bitcoin instead, haha.

Listen, Google's move feels like it's paving the way for Bitcoin. The traditional financial system is cracking wider and wider, and a new exit will eventually have to be solved on the blockchain.

The loosening of the payment system indeed gave Bitcoin an opportunity, but is Google's move truly aiming for a revolution or just another round of harvesting... I'm a bit confused.

Wait a minute, Google's move is a bit aggressive. It seems traditional payments won't be able to sit still anymore.
