Well bitcoin transactions are almost free (miners fee is what nowadays 1-2 cents regardless of amount?) as is. It is hard to compete with that Their aim is to grow and acquire users and become an import cog in bitcoin and financial worlds Once you get lets say to a few million to a hundred million users then you endup with all sorts of possibilities such as becoming a bank and offering loans (this alone coupled with a good database of users could be a money maker), offering checking/savings accounts, hell making it easier for users to invest in stocks etc (might be what Goldman interested...) and so on Remember the likes of Facebook and Twitter didnt have a "revenue model" at start either, look where they are now... edit: another possibility would be mobile payments (nfc or qr code) to any merchant accepting bitcoin of which there is a growing number thanks to bitpay, think of all the data that could be mined there, they can basically make the whole credit card network obsolete by bypassing it
