      I'm going to risk calling it. The feeling of deja vu is too strong. Stripe is the next Google.

      Probably. There is more money in money than search.

          Google was one of 2-3 big players in search at it’s beginnigs. Stripe is one out of hundreds

          But Google has a monopoly on search. Stripe will never have a monopoly on payment processing. Adyen is only getting bigger and better.

          What makes Stripe so different and what makes you so confident about them?

          Dave other than lemonade, stripe, square and googl, have you been considering or buying any other companies?

          Yeah but still considering Google a search company is kind of outmoded.

          But is there more money than search, play store, ad sense network, YouTube, android (OS and hardware), Waymo, fiber, cloud, and nest (to name a few of there vast network of revenue sources)? 🧐🤔

          If Waymo works well, faster than the competition, I wouldn’t be surprised if it (including obvious spinoffs) would be worth more than Apple all by itself.
