      It’ll never catch on in the US, though. We don’t need the functionality that an “everything app” like WeChat would provide. WeChat took off because it filled in a big gap for its users. The US already has a robust and diversified financial market and payments infrastructure that Zuck won’t have any chance of breaking into.

        Still, becoming the US “WeChat” is a very wet dream for any corporation. Of course they will try.

        I heard that you folks up north still send written cheques via mail and sign little papers when use a credit card, doesn’t sound very robust or diversified to me
