The lack of an effective micropayment solution impedes the financial viability and sustainability of creators, publishers, and various small businesses in the online and offline spheres. UKey seems to have a promising path forward (reducing friction and costs) in solving this major unmet need in the payments ecosystem. Here's one example of the promise of UKey: the success of this micropayments solution has the potential to make a free and independent press (at all levels - from the local to the global) viable leading to the strengthening of the foundations of democracy itself, and that's just a start! Having known and seen Uday in action all my life, I know he has the focus, diligence, and perseverance to see things through - He never quits when the going gets tough. Instead, he'll double down!
