#3I do a lot of hardware sales online and often exchanging identities is a way to increase trust amongst buyer and seller.
This article holds up to my observation that black people use cash app and white people use venmo.

Why is it “materialism” when it’s rappers but “capitalism” and “disruption” when done in Silicon Valley?
At least they are producing something at a profit unlike almost every VC backed company being subsidized waiting to be acquired or pawn their money losing business off to the public markets.

It's all bad. Pretty sure my downvotes are from precisely those "capitalism" and "disruption" types. Obsession with money is fucking stupid.

#7Sweet, hopefully people are realizing that Cash is the better app. Venmo has that weird public feed that no one wants — Cash is almost flawless.

#8Seems to be a bit of a non-issue. They're marketing their material to a younger audience so it is why Snapchat, Instagram, etc. get mentions because that is what the audience is into. What would probably make it a more interesting case is if the rappers mentioning Cash App are backers of it (or receive some kind of incentive from the company) I guess.
Jay-Z (and I would imagine others) has been doing this kind of thing for years: giving a hat tip to whatever ventures they're somehow involved in so that the rap advertises (advertisements that people actually go for) some other revenue stream for them.
Smart moves, really.

Venmo are cunts, they banned me for life and refused to explain and basically treated me like a terrorist. All I did was send money to various people once in awhile to be nice to them. That was it. I hadn’t even used Venmo for 3 months when they banned me out of the blue with a menacing email about how my activity set off red flags. Like they really went out of their way to be dicks for no reason, it was astonishing. If anyone from Venmo is reading this, go fuck yourselves.

Rappers (particularly Jay-Z) are famous for getting involved in Alcohol brands. Make a song/music video featuring the brand heavily and watch sales skyrocket.
