Experience Slows You Down

“My theory is this: when you know everything about an industry, you don’t know whats good for it. The only thing you know is the rules and confinements that have been set up by the people within that industry to prevent change. That’s human nature. People don’t like change, people like change they like. So you follow the rules, and learn some more and before you know it. You are 50 years old, wears a suit and dictates the rules by yourself. You don’t change the industry you’re in, the industry changes you.”

Square moves from the smartphone to the browser, building its own online market

“Square isn’t merely content with processing credit cards for local businesses. It wants to handle their online transactions as well.

Square is essentially moving in the opposite direction of its main mobile payments rival PayPal, the entrenched provider of online payments for small businesses. While PayPal is horning in Square’s turf with its Here credit card reader, Square hopes to chisel off a piece of PayPal’s peer-to-peer payments with a new service called Square Cash. Now Square is going after the business of PayPal’s parent eBay with Market.”
