The Wallet Wars have started

The infrastructure is ready. The users are ready. The war begins.

The Wallet Wars have started. The Prize? Control of your identity * Becoming your Everything Wallet.

Sam Altman has WorldCoin, Apple has Apple Wallet and Generative AI will move money on your behalf.

Here's why this changes everything:

The Great Rebundling is Here 👉 Apple owns 51% of US smartphones 👉 PayPal has 400M users ready 👉 Banks just launched Paze 👉 Everyone wants to be your "one wallet"

Why Now? The Perfect Storm:

👉 Apple finally opened NFC 👉 Digital ID standards arrived 👉 Pay-by-Bank is actually working 👉 Tap-to-pay is everywhere

The infrastructure is ready. The users are ready. The war begins.

Five Paths to Victory: 👉 Hardware Players (Apple, Samsung): "Trust our security" 👉 Banks (Paze): "Trust our stability" 👉 Fintechs (Cash App, Venmo): "Trust our innovation" 👉 PSPs (Stripe, PayPal): "Trust our reach" 👉 Open Finance: "Trust our data"

The Prize: The Everything Wallet

Imagine ONE app that: 👉 Holds your government ID 👉 Optimizes all your rewards 👉 Handles tickets & travel 👉 Manages investments 👉 Routes every payment perfectly 👉 Makes taxes disappear

The Early Winners: 👉 Apple: Has the lead but moving slow 👉 PayPal: 400M users + merchant network 👉 Cash App/Venmo: Perfect moment to evolve 👉 Banks: Will follow, not lead

But where are the AI makers in this? The Worldcoin project is fascinating. And watch as Crypto slowly integrates AI...

his is the battle for who you trust with EVERYTHING.

The Wallet Wars have begun.

And you're the prize.
