Meh. I enjoyed the Owen Byrne and Alexis Ohanian interviews, among others. I do feel that Warner comes off a little too strong on the enthusiastic side though, during an interview.

> 10. Square realizes its bottleneck is additional hardware, so it gives card reader away for free. Isn't this what PayPal was originally trying to do back in the day? Interesting concept.
