It's going to come down to the 2nd iteration of merchant terminals being more device savvy. Near Field Communication (NFC) is growing, but you'd have to wait for it to be saturated in the marketplace to see the FI community start their efforts. There's also the need to make these devices QR Code capable to accommodate the international markets. Good point. They might be ready to steer us that direction by 2020 but the devices that make it all work might not be up for the task yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the big hubabaloo over Apple Pay - it was a swanky product, really mitigated against potential breaches - but it anticipated merchants being in the rank and file for terminal adoption, which was/is slow going. Samsung was savvy in their purchase of Loop Pay, which allowed them to tout more acceptance. It's going to ultimately balance out as terminals get more advanced.

This being said - put some miles on your soul. Go somewhere else, just to say you did. That's the one thing I didn't do (I mean, outside of a few months). It's not like Texas is going anywhere. If the grass isn't greener elsewhere, you've always got home... I appreciate the advice man. You've always been a voice of reason on these boards and I def respect your opinion. If we're being real, I really can't hate on Texas completely because the Dallas area has been my home for my entire life and I do have a ton of memories here, I just haven't been able to create many memories lately and ive been through a lot of rough patches in the last few years, most notably after graduating high school. Also, I haven't been outside of Texas aside from a few vacations that lasted a week or 2 And yup, I could always come back to Texas if things don't work out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I haven't been outside of Texas aside from a few vacations that lasted a week or 2 When we all talk football, we talk about a player sometimes needing a fresh start. People are no different. It's possible that Dallas has gotten stale for you. Sometimes, you need a fresh start. I know there are a few people on this board who made the same sort of fresh start elsewhere, and are better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDrew Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 1 hour ago, footbull3196 said: Say what you will about cost of living, but am I wrong for thinking it's actually worth it given everything the state has to offer? I'm one of those people @EliteTexan80 was talking about picking up and moving. It definitely helped my wife and I out a lot. Having done it, the one piece of advice I can give you is to research where you want to go, and make sue it's for you. I moved without ever having been there, but I talked to people, and did a lot of reading. I would definitely recommend doing the same. As far as CA goes, there is a lot of cool stuff, but it's a hard place to live. The cost of living isn't the only issue. Where there's a lot of stuff, it's super crowded, and has terrible traffic. Where it's really nice, but not crowded, it outrageously expensive, and there's not a lot to do. Places that fall in between are still expensive, but not where anybody really wants to live. It's not really what TV makes it out to be, but there really is a lot there. I've lived in a lot of different areas of the state, I have family that I visit all over, and I'm there 2-3 times a year to see family and friends. If you want the perspective from somebody that's been on the inside, and now on the outside looking in, feel free to hit me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
