“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!

    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”.

      For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

      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.
