  Only half-serious (or half-jokingly, depending on how you like it served): Payments is the Collison brothers' bus tickets? (We know PG has always been catfishing for genius -- it might even be the main reason why HN is alive.. it might even be his own most irrational obsession..) Compare https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34365048 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34365048 That genius candidate has no strange obsessions (anything that needs work to be profitable could be thought of as niche but hardly strange.. payments are so obviously profitable that to spend time obsessing about the mechanics is, paradoxically, strange.)
