“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.”

The thing about from financial transactions is:

a) governments will insist on regulation and influence

b) the recipient needs to use the same system.

No idea so I googled x and videos and found porn. That's probably it.

There is no way in hell I’d trust this chucklefuck with anything I think is important, let alone money.

People who use twitter think its totally ingrained into society and what drives all public discourse....

People that dont use twitter could give a shit, its a huge circle jerk.

Hard to see from down here if his (mental)ballistic curve is already falling or if he's still in the zero-g phase, but kinda interesting to watch. Uuh, that'll make a loud splash when he hits the ground.
