This is interest on credits, not on cash. Once you start paying interest on cash you need a banking license. I think you'd be fine even in Europe paying interest on credits.

I have no idea how people are burning $2k. I pay $100/mo and it's built an absolute crap ton of stuff for me. And my co-founder uses it 24/7 as well. Maybe we spend too much time a…
