    Well you can’t give someone cash if there is no cash.

    Obviously nanna can transfer money to the kids.

    The real question is what is the difference?

    My kids have an account with an index fund. When I log in there’s a qr code you can scan which takes you to a payment gateway.

      Well one happens while grandma is hugging the kid. It involves perceiving and interacting with a physical object, which uses parts of the brain that are hundreds of millions of years older than the parts you’re using when you see a notification on your phone.

      Also there’s the fact of the secrecy, which isn’t there when all transfers are recorded for possible analysis later.

      Quite a bit is different actually.
