“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

Well that sounds terrifying!

It's strange, because I wouldn't, not even for a moment, ever in my life consider this.if I feel this way, so does a large chunk of the population.

So its already failed imo.

I dunno, it has 200M active users, doesn't it? Wouldn't surprise me if "free bank" popped up in their face a few times a week with "free transfers" and "guaranteed best interest rates".

I hope you are wrong, but you make a great point

It's actually wild to me,as a Canadian, how this isn't a thing in America. Interac blows away my American friends on a constant basis.

Good point.

I dunno, it has 200M active users, doesn't it?

It's hard to be really sure, because we know there's a staggering number of bots.

But I suppose even if the real number is a fraction of that 200M, it's still a huge number of users.
