@therealoshow: Venmo started in a college dorm room… and grew so powerful it forced the biggest banks on Earth to respond. For decades, sending money meant expensive wires, slow transfers, and total control by a $7 trillion banking industry. Then Venmo made instant transfers feel free, simple, and social—putting real pressure on traditional finance. Banks realized they could lose hundreds of billions in fees and deposits, so instead of competing, they united to build their own network: Zelle. Today, trillions of dollars move through Zelle with zero transfer fees, proving this wasn’t just a tech story… it was a financial war for control of your money.
