The Money Hackers

The main content here is a series of business operators reciting very quick and sketchy versions of their basic pitches, about like what you see when you go to the firm\’s home page. It is useful to get a reasonably brisk survey of what various startups are doing. There is a limited amount of context, financial history, and critical thinking layered in, never very deep or searching. That is more the standard dismissive Silicon Valley newbie wet-behind-the-ears view of history and the driving narratives. It is very journalistic, with no lack of breathless cheerleading, intensified in effective shallowness by the affected casualness and adolescent vocalizations of the narrator. The concept that incumbent banks are myopic, sclerotic dinosaurs is way overplayed, as if repetition would make it more true, and I think, poorly supported. A few of the startups featured will no doubt see significant success. But often what I hear is a broken record of the standard digital cheerleading, as if reciting \”innovation\” ad nauseum (like adding more exclamation points !!!!!) would evidence greater believability or substance.

I really loved this book. it was a great read and quite enlightening on the subject of FinTech. I don\’t want to make slight of his work, but for me I could have used a little more expression through this read. I felt like he just did t really have any interest in the subject matter. I\’m sure the Narrator is good at the job I just wasnt feeling his performance. However I would have to say that my issues with the narration aside, it was not enough of a con to make me less enthralled by this thought provoking piece of literature.
