The OP title seems a bit misleading notwithstanding this caveat.




I think there's ambiguity. An app built for a platform that does xyz. Does the app do xyz, the platform, or both? If I build an app that takes you straight to idk a Treasury department website, have I built an app for a platform that transacts trillions of dollars?

seems like this is par for course for hustler “founders” nowadays to say half truths to seem groundbreaking to get attention

True. But willing to cut anyone under 21 some slack.

I thought that at first too, but then I figured it's pretty impressive that the app is processing $6M/month even though the financial platform pre-existed.
