Title: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: cryptomaniac_xxx on August 05, 2020, 08:46:00 AM https://i.imgur.com/OkLS4Vj.png
https://twitter.com/kerooke/status/1290796717848354818 Cash app by Square made an astonishing $875 million during the second quarter of 2020. Is this a indication that we are really in a bull run? And I think almost all crypto related business also gain a net profit in the second quarter. But it's really interesting that even though we are still in the pandemic, those money can still be profited. https://squareup.com/us/en/about/investors Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: stompix on August 05, 2020, 09:00:18 AM But it's really interesting that even though we are still in the pandemic, those money can still be profited. Define "profited". The first number is for revenue, not for profits https://s21.q4cdn.com/114365585/files/doc_financials/2020/Q2/2020-Q2-Shareholder-Letter-Square.pdf Quote Cash App generated $875 million of bitcoin revenue and $17 million of bitcoin gross profit during the second quarter of 2020 Quote In the second quarter of 2020, net loss was $11 million. Net loss per share was $0.03 on both a basic and diluted basis in the second quarter of 2020, based on 440 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares. We recognized a gain of $21 million related to observable price changes for non-marketable equity investments. Excluding this impact, net loss was $32 million in the second quarter of 2020 Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: kryptqnick on August 05, 2020, 09:47:51 AM https://twitter.com/kerooke/status/1290796717848354818 I guess it signifies that some people prefer services that have big names behind them and a certain amount and regulation and centralization. I think Jack Dorsey is having positive impact on Bitcoin, so I'm glad his app is becoming more successful. After all, it's not like it's used only for Bitcoin trading, right? I don't mean that there're fiat options there, I mean that transactions between people are available via Cash App, and this can be useful not only to traders, but also to those treating Bitcoin as money. On another point, I agree with stompix that the info about $875 million is misleading because it's not the profit.Cash app by Square made an astonishing $875 million during the second quarter of 2020.

IMO $1200 stimulus check and the fact other investment going downhill might be major factor. I agree, as we have another round of US stimulus checks coming in, I guess some of them might invest on bitcoin pushing the price again. So it wouldn't be surprising to see big companies making big profits. There is also a news that Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google are making record revenues even though we have this pandemic, so still business as usual for crypto related services as well.

Good for its users and for who are just new to cryptocurrecy, easy to use.

But it's really interesting that even though we are still in the pandemic, those money can still be profited. https://squareup.com/us/en/about/investors It's a good sign that the bull is really gaining momentum, with such interest coming from those people who uses this app it's implied that there are many people now who are recognizing this industry. we can definitely see more action and success coming from businesses who offers crypto currencies as there are more people who seen the value of this investment assets. Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: mk4 on August 05, 2020, 03:08:57 PM Their monthly active users also increased quite significantly; and since it's probably safe to assume that most of their users are on the younger side(hence more likely to be interested in new tech/trends), I think it's just expected that their bitcoin revenue spiked up as well. Still went up higher than expected though.
If anyone is interested in their recent statistics: https://s21.q4cdn.com/114365585/files/doc_financials/2020/Q2/2020-Q2-Shareholder-Letter-Square.pdf Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: Upgrade00 on August 05, 2020, 03:42:27 PM it's implied that there are many people now who are recognizing this industry. It depends on what you mean by recognized, Bitcoin has become quite popular and there's a huge probability that anyone who uses the web would have heard of it. This interest is likely an aftermath of the upward price movement, this would indicate interest in the value of Bitcoin rather than the fundamentals and technology behind it. I came across a post a couple of days back which suggested a drop in monthly active users on the forum, this is in contrast with more activity happening within more financial focused industries related with Bitcoin.It's however a common scenario during upward price movements and also has an effect in pushing the value higher. Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: buwaytress on August 05, 2020, 03:52:37 PM As stompix points out, all these unicorns posting crazy revenue doesn't mean shit. A lot of fintech unicorns just want to do that, and don't care about profit because it's all about stock valuations (they make money off stocks, crazy isn't it?).
That said, previous Cash app profits have been in the black, just a really tiny percentage of revenue. Crazy isn't it? And so yawn;) Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: dothebeats on August 05, 2020, 07:12:27 PM Revenue is hugely different from profits. While they saw a massive surge in users and interest on their app, that doesn't equate to profits at all. Anyway, the huge surge of users on cash app can be attributed to a lot of "influencers" marketing the said app, and have been promoting the said app for months now. Influencers with huge following base tend to influence 'some' aspects of the economy just by their words alone, which shows you how gullible and blind people can be as long as their favorite persona says something on something. Add to that the stimulus fund that the US generously gave to its population. Reports say that people bought bitcoin with that money seeing how stable and how strong the cryptocurrency stood amid the dropping stocks. Cash app is an avenue to that, hence why a lot of people flocked on the app and made their purchase.

https://s21.q4cdn.com/114365585/files/doc_financials/2020/Q1/2020-Q1-Shareholder-Letter-Square.pdf 7 million in profit with 306 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2020 Quote Cash App generated $875 million of bitcoin revenue and $17 million of bitcoin gross profit during the second quarter of 2020 News draws beautiful pictures, and if you understand the details, then not everything is so sweet. But the positive dynamics of demand for bitcoin has a good effect on the market.

Title: Re: $875 million profited by Cash app this second quarter, amidst the pandemic Post by: davis196 on August 06, 2020, 05:31:38 PM I don't find this news surprising at all.
A tech company increases it's revenue and profits during the time of pandemic/lockdowns/quarantine. All the tech companies will grow,while all the "Brick and Mortar" companies will suffer,we've been talking about this since March.It was pretty much expected and it's happening now. Should we prefer Cash App over Paypal,just because of Jack Dorsey?I don't trust both.If Jack Dorsey was such a big crypto supporter,then Square/Cash App would have already adopted crypto payments.
