Absolutely great. This industry(card processing - esp. in person) is mired by a ton of ambiguity and it would take a company like Stripe to open it up to innovation. Cannot wait to see what comes out of this from the ecosystem.

What's the purpose of having laws if they're going to change on the whims of the govt./legislature of the day? The FUNDAMENTAL law should be immutable. Write once and it never changes. No need for senators, mps and all those
