Do you think this is a dangerous assignment? “That depends, and we can’t offer personal advice. But let me talk a little bit about how I think about investing in a company. you continue to work and continue to invest in the market every month, that 25% will decrease over time. I like your holding Five Vision and I think Square will do well in the next five years. Just think about your share and what you want to do there and make sure you are diverse

Matt Frankel: Do we have time for anything else? Fading: Yes.

Frankel All right. I will respond to one from Brand New Fool on how Adyen compares Square to Afterpay. Adyen is based in the Netherlands. They are a real omnichannel player. When I think of PayPal, I think it’s mostly online. I said I bet they have a 95% non-current card rate. When I think of the Square, I think mainly of the person. Adyen does both. They have been more successful than Square and PayPal for major retailers. I believe Uber is an Adyen client.

Microsoft uses Adyen to process payments. Many of the world’s largest and largest companies do. They are the ones who changed PayPal on eBay if you remember the big news story last year where PayPal dumped eBay as their favorite payment system. Adyen is focused on major retailers. They are truly a global company. They work all over the world. North America I think a quarter of their income, which is big, big. It is an interesting market. A different kind of focus. Omnichannel, big retailers, and PayPal and Square are both very special, I would say.
