The Inbox: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Neal Dorman - Saw a stat yesterday that an alarming number of millenials do not see the need for a bank. What does that mean for Fintech startups as well as support for this sector going forward? Is this the new buggy whip?
  • Question from Avo - Can you discuss the complex order books at the options exchanges and how they function?In particular how they do not talk to each other or route orders away to other books? Are there any changes or developments in the works to fix this? Thanks for the show.
  • Question from Dataman - Hola Tech team! I work ing cloud infrastructure for a big hosting company many of your listener are probably familiar with.

Finance firms are not retail merchants or widget makers. They have severe restriction on their technology and their compliance.
