A friend in Seoul can’t withdraw $700 without... proof as to why he needs more than $700. Like printed proof to bring to the bank in person. He can however, move $500k/day on a local Korean crypto exchange.

For those of you wondering why $APT is $17. Aptos is a meme coin in Korea. The #1 asset class in Korea is real estate — more specifically, Apartments. Retail is calling Aptos “apartment” claiming people can one day afford to purchase an actual apartment if they hold $APT.

Their excuse: to protect you from voice-fishing incidents....? What the hell kind of excuse is that? This was in person, at the bank.

Yes it’s a major bank. No he’s not a criminal. He just haven’t used his debit card in a while.

In an UBER now. Got to talking about their IPO. Driver says they are getting cash bonuses based on tenure — $500 for the two years she’s driven for UBER. It’s not much, but pretty cool that they’re paying drivers.

Korea is the only country where by mandate, lightning cables are required to have any additional line of insulation to avoid breaks like those. 😎
