The speaker welcomed the growth of new internet payment protocols, particularly X.402, because it recalls the HTTP 402 code that he said Tim Berners-Lee created decades ago for payments.

“Um, so, you know, there's a whole set of, uh, kind of new laws on the internet, uh, that I, I think, uh, really excited to see, uh, all those, uh, uh, kind of grow to see, uh, you know, the, uh, you know, X.402 from, uh, when Stripe came out with it, I loved it because, uh, it went back to, uh, the 402, uh, uh, error, uh, HTTP code, uh, which was, uh, uh, you know, um, uh, Tim Berners-Lee created, uh, you know, twenty-plus years ago, or thirty-plus years ago, uh, for payments.”
