Bill Gurley says Visa and Mastercard will be "heavily threatened" by stablecoins. From The Knowledge Project this week: "Those two companies have two of the highest operating margins in the history of business. They have like 60% operating margins, and they're duopolies, and they were created by the banks. So the whole industry is kind of stuck in this world where they make a lot of money because it is this way. But there's zero reason why it should cost 2 or 3%. Just zero. In America, if I want to send you 50 bucks digitally, I've got to go through ACH, which is 3-day settlement, which is part of this regulatory capture bullshit... If you have a Coinbase account, you can put your money in a USDC stablecoin and earn 4%, and within seconds immediately transfer money to someone else for pennies... At this point, I think stablecoins will get there faster than the government will be able to do it." $V $MA Agree or disagree?






When Booking Holdings CEO Glenn Fogel was asked why he hasn't split the stock: "Why should we split the stock? tell me the positive." "Well the positive of course is that some people think it's too expensive." "They think it's too expensive because of the nominal amount? that's how they value a stock? I don't think I want that kind of investor." "Well now you sound like Warren Buffett." (from a 2024 interview) $BKNG
