Users defend it because it’s a user friendly experience. The concept is good, even if you think apple’s cut is too high. Imagine going to a grocery store and needing to go through several different checkouts depending on which products you

Do you want this person to mount a full blast investigation on their own? Most banks are mostly interchangeable nowadays unless you live in a small town and there’s only one bank you must use because you’re transacting with cash. They pay n

It’s easier to entirely dismiss anything someone says when you label them as something that you don’t identify with. It’s the lazy way out. For those interested, here he is talking about some of his positions. Make of it what you want. htt

GAAP is so overrated. It's 2019. The goal is to acquire users, not to make money. Unprofitability is sexy. In all seriousness this might as well be 1998 and I just hope they go public before the next big market swing down so I can shor

What do the CEOs who fail and the CEOs who succeed have in common? They're both incredibly overpaid. The question should not be is Bob Iger worth X/year? The question should be could he be paid a fraction of what he is in reality

You’re right about the ease of switching. I think buying a wholesale club membership card is more analogous. You could buy a Costco card and a sam’s club card if you wanted, but there’s likely not many people who do. People actually prefe
