"Money quantifiably is larger than AI. It's larger than food. It's larger than oil and gas. It's larger than municipal water supplies, government spending, defense. It's all of these combined."
@rooqster is the co-founder of
@raincards, a $1.95 billion company building financial infrastructure that lets businesses issue cards, extend credit, and settle payments using stablecoins instead of traditional banking rails. He believes the market for moving money is too large for any single company, including Stripe, to capture alone.
