@CleGuardians Tito has his head up his butt on pitching tonight. Is he trying to throw the game?

Don't know why you let Judy Woodruff interview Jarod K. He made her look like a seventh-grader bamboozled by a fast talking carnival barker. Get a better interviewer, or don't bring him on--he's nothing but talking points!

@money2020 They are the biggest, most dominant legacy player in payments. I would think there would be a lot more participation/buzz here

[stevemott @stevemott]

@money2020 But hardly a word about it, vis-a-vis just about every other presentation (good and bad)...is anyone paying attention anymore?

[stevemott @stevemott]

#money2020 The massive gulf between the old payment geeks and the young new mobile marketing firms so eager to kill the system is exploding!

#money2020 All this, and nary a sign of/word about Visa.... Must be getting some more rounds of golf in before the seasons change!

Speculation in oil and commodities at everyone's expense suggests next big target for War on Terror might be Goldman Sachs and hedge funds?

Wondering why merchants have to bear $20-30 billion in PCI costs, when marketing companies like Epsilon hose us with massive data breaches?

[stevemott @stevemott]

American Express actually used Revolution Money to push out an open mobile wallet--forestalling Visa's move to go proprietary. Way to go!

52% of earth's population <30; Egypt provides glowing example of how they can overcome last century's political convolution: Freedom rules!

Why is Chase Bank disparaging PIN-debit, wasting 40 years of teaching consumers how to protect themselves? Money, of course. Greed & shame!

Bad news of the week: A-Rod is still a punk; Catholic Church a disaster; and SEC as bad in its own way as Madoff and Goldman Suchs. HELP!!!
