So being a global company, we need in many countries, conversion of currency also.

So if we start taking all the money and then putting it through Stripe, that would be pretty hard.

And secondly, to even maintain people's credit card information and bank account information would require a certain level of security from a company's point of view, which we don't have and we don't want to get into.

It's the Stripe form, the filling of the form, giving all their personal information, which is very little bit of money.

And once they get over it, they're like, oh, this is really super cool and easy.

But, you know, they have to just get over it.

And the more people and they do it, then it'll get better.

But I do get every day that, you know, there are people more and more people are filling up the form and we're trying to make it easy for them.

Well, let's go from now.

We are three months old because as far as opening the company to public is concerned, that was in October.

Just two people from the very beginning.

I started it, then I have a co-founder, and then more people have joined, and now we have a team of around eight people, six full-time, two part-time, and of course, a couple of consultants.
