Probably US only right now. Borders, governments and regulations and all that amiright? 🙄

My assumption is pressure from Visa/Mastercard?! Any regs that would stop it (if a “money transmitter” already)?

Nor on squareup online marketplace. Hopefully soon.

What’s the hold-up?! My assumption is Visa and Mastercard would not be happy and cause issues.

IIRC, he’s on the record a few months back saying that North American demand just isn’t there. As much as I’d love to see it, can’t say that I blame them.

Not a “chicken and the egg” situation?Demand won’t be there if not possible.

I hear you. But rarely would a publicly traded company be in a position to take that risk. If there were one, my money would be on Jack’s.

What’s the risk?
