Not sure. A lot of pieces to put into place, a lot of network to build. And we can’t just build networks arbitrarily because they are only viable with a particular geographic density. (ie. 100K drivers all over the world is useless, 100K drivers is one big city is entirely self sustaining)
I think the best way to get there would be to leverage Uber’s attempts to crack down on getting clients out of app. If we build the app flows and tools, then we can start by trying to be the “give me your personal number” version of Uber. So we can onboard Uber drivers and pay them privately out of band. Then you create a client based network, rather than a broad public network. Until it gets to the point where the public one emerges on its on.
It would take years to be viable if we started today, but who knows how well momentum could run with something like that. 🤔
