Twitter aside, if any website or app ever asks this of you, please nope the fuck out.

I guess it only occasionally makes sense for government web sites and banks. X might have ambitions to become a bank, so in that sense it might make sense.

So another piece of advice: if twitter ever asks you if you want to start using it for banking, nope the fuck out.

To follow his dystopian vision of Twitter as the Everything app, in the US it will have to be a bank at some point. The same way that Apple is now a bank in order to power parts of their wallet and payment platforms.

Or maybe because it has an APY of over 4%, which is pretty damn good for a savings account. If Google came up with a +4% APY savings account, I’m sure people would sign up for that in droves too.

Also, there are Apple, Google/Android, Microsoft and Linux cults. Apple is not unique in that arena.
