Have you noticed how Google Maps keeps getting more useful? That's partly because of Google AR & VR's geospatial creator. Check out this hackathon to create immersive experiences with massive distribution.

True. Not to mention many of us don't want to bank with a capricious CEO who stiffs his employees and vendors.
A forum and a financial hub are inherently incompatible. You can't have a financial hub that bans people for saying bad things.
