They really want to be WeChat

It'll never catch on in the US, though. We don't need the functionality that an "everything app" like WeChat would provide. WeChat took off because it filled in a big gap for its users. The US already has a robust and diversified financial market and payments infrastructure that Zuck won't have any chance of breaking into.

Still, becoming the US "WeChat" is a very wet dream for any corporation. Of course they will try.

No it took off because the CCP banned everything else
