When Fintech Becomes a Cash Machine: Can High Margins Survive the Next Distribution Shift?
Personal finance platforms rarely fail because users stop needing them. They fail when the economics of attention change. That is exactly why this business stands out today—and why the market still refuses to trust it.

The real investment debate is no longer about demand. It is about durability: can a platform built on comparison and intent remain structurally profitable when distribution rules change again?
