    I really don't want Apple as my bank. For that matter, I wouldn't want the Linux Foundation, Canonical, Red Hat, SUSE, etc. for my bank. Tech companies tech. Bank companies bank.https://twitter.com/ZDNet/status/1110889465818472448 …

        If you want no intermediary, you want crypto. Not enough merchants take it, yet.

        At least a SUSE credit card would be a very attractive green...

        A few years ago (after Apple Pay was getting popular and articles were pointing out how much more secure than Android Wallet it was), somebody I knew said Apple had so much cash-on-hand that the only thing that made sense to do with it all was become a for-real bank.

        Banks have been fined more than 100 billion dollars for criminal activity since 2000, not to mention the bail outs. This is about who is actually worthy of our financial trust. Crypto says no one is, and gives us a solution that means we don't have to.

        Somehow it's bound to work out for them. I thought the Apple watch would be a flop. EOD it's Apple and they have 'cool status'

        Fintech cuts handling costs, resulting in new competition and better service for everyone. Waiting for the comfortable to create change is a waste of time

        Why ? Isn’t this like saying amazon should only be a marketplace and not sell web services ? :)

        Bank companies open fake accounts to make sales targets and force foreclosures to feed on the lifeblood of their clients.
