This morning, while scrolling through my feed, I saw a news story about American stocks, and then, in South Korea, in the semiconductor sector, there was some exciting news.
He opened his phone, went into Backpack, found the stock entry, searched for that specific stock, and bought it.
Without switching apps. Without logging in again. Without waiting for approval. Without transferring money.
Dozens of seconds.
Afterwards, he checked his position in SOL, browsed through the interest account earnings. All in the same account. Crypto, stocks, investments—everyone doing reasonably well, all in one go.
Before, he wasn't like this. Before, on his phone's home screen, he had at least three apps: one to buy crypto, one for American stocks, and another just for investments. At the end of the month, he had to open them one by one, take a screenshot, paste everything together, only then to calculate how much money he really had.
Sometimes he wanted to buy a stock, the idea barely came to him, but then he thought about the whole process—opening the brokerage, logging in, waiting for the Face ID to spin, getting the code, depositing, waiting for the money to arrive—and the desire died.
It wasn't that he couldn't buy. It was laziness to deal with it. This laziness made him miss more than one opportunity.
Now, he opens an app and everything is solved.
Crypto is there. Stocks are there. Money is there.
He put down his phone and went to brush his teeth. For him, it was just another ordinary day.
For him, this ordinary day was previously impossible.
