Looks more like a promotional video than an actual insight in the mobile payment industry.
This is a fantastic tool. I've been using it since last year, mostly at Starbucks and CVS and McDonald's. I don't get why not more people use it.
I'm in agreement with Molly. To me, physical wallets are so yesterday, as I don't carry them anymore. I love making payments with my phone.
Stll hilaious, Molly Wood!
I think the thing with mobile payments is that older companies don't want newer ones to succeed them. It hurts everybody else who tries to innovate in the industry, because they're held back by other companies/things that make it difficult to implement these new services. Ideally, if Google/PayPal could control the entire process of payment, I'm sure a perfect mobile payment system would exist already.
It's the same thing with television (or online television). I don't know if I've explained it well. For example, Amazon can't release their drone delivery system without permission from the FAA, and Netflix can't air the latest television series because of licensing issues with the content producers.
It's exactly what limits mobile payments. It can easily be done. And like I said, it could already exist in a perfect state. It's just that the older companies want all the power. AT&T does its own thing, Visa/MasterCard will do their own thing, Walmart will build its own app (like mentioned in the video) etc. And then there's the government that might complain about things like taxation, which further complicates things.
It's actually pretty sad, but it's mostly frustrating. The only company that can fix all of this is Apple. Apple has a very large influence, so whatever system they devise will be what wins. It's when this problem will finally be solved.
in a few more years we wont be even be using paper and metal currency. we'll use credit points. jobs will be paying in points that we'll use to buy stuff.
i think it'll be cool, but gives chance to easy thievery. another possible flaw i see is devaluation of current currency. how will we be able to keep the currency value, but in electronic credit points?
i said the same thing in high school people that i was crazy but with time right lol i received a c-
Im 15 and i prefer a wallet There much more style into it and also once we start keeping our money all digital and ship its a matter of before the hackers out there start to hack our cash its not hard im mean i cant hack but we all can learn right i think its point less
Can't wait to have 20 different payment apps so I can conveniently shop /s
Solve all this nonsense by accepting bitcoin. Universal and convenient.
