    CEO saying underwriting for 10 years is his advantage is quite concerning lol. How long has Goldman been underwriting?? I think apples got plenty of time, time is not your advantage. You can see he knows affirms going to 0 and hes looking for the exit

    comment section owns puts… they’ve obviously never used AFRM or understand its seemless integration. No need to setup Apple Pay. No need to setup an account. All you need is a phone number. AFRM TO THE MOON!

    Apple has a way bigger brand name as well as pockets sad for smaller firms they are getting squeezed out.
