Uber from lower Manhattan to JFK is ~$60. Most of the time it won't take more than 45 minutes. The 2 hours they are pushing here is likely talking driving in heavy traffic or taking public transportation.

I can't help to think this and Coin are each a solution in search of a problem. Do you know many people that use more than 3 cards regularly? If the norm was to have so many cards they barely fit in your wallet this would be perfect.

I think the problems run much deeper. Music is now competing for attention with apps, push notifications, emails, SMS, etc. Listening to recorded music was at one time something to do in and of itself. Today it's something that's

I don't disagree with that. The brand is huge and will find a way to at least keep the lights on here but how many people are really going to decide to spend their $9.99 a month on this? Most people won't even pay Spotify $9.99 a
