#3I know the common joke is that Google made a mess of their messaging apps. I 100% am not clear what the correct app is to be able to do tap to pay from my phone. Kind of comical how hard that is to figure out.

#4> You can still tap to pay using the Google Wallet app.

This is not about tap to pay at terminals. This is about the ability to send money to random individuals, the Venmo use case.

#9What are they trying to to do? They aren't going to dominate payments in the US, no one can tame that cluster fuck.
Payments have good solid revenue but no where in the range Google/Alphabet is used to. Especially when you consider the high-touch support required in payments.
This product space is so confusing in the US. P2P,does that include "business?" When a person is trying to conduct even the smallest amount of commerce as a street vendor or with another person they are faced with a shrinking lack of choices that all operate in a different way. Venmo, Stripe, Square, Clover?, Zelle. And you have to have them all because one or more of them will drop you after someone rolls out a new poorly tested fraud/abuse/whatever algorithm.
The regulatory landscape is a patchwork where further regulation attempting to clean up the mess generally makes it worse.

This. The proliferation is insane. Makes you yearn for the good 'ol (bad) days when Paypal was king. At least you knew what service to complain about back then. Particularly if you were a vendor, Paypal abuse was rampant.-
