- notatoad 5y agodefinitely cheaper to build the tech, but possibly more expensive by the time they've convinced all the stores include a "pay later with square" button. as always with these things, they're buying the market not the product.
- paxys 5y agoEasy for them to build something technically equivalent, impossible to guarantee that it will get the same usage. There's a reason why companies like Google, Amazon, Apple do hundreds of acquisitions every year despite having enough money and talent to build it all on their own.
