Is Square a good investment right now?
This thread is going to be a deep dive into Square $SQ to look through why I see it as a good long term investment even though it has had CRAZY run in the past couple months

Bearish Case:
- SQ's big rivals: First Data's Clover unit, PayPal, Visa, & Stripe to name a few
- COVID lockdown has shut down many small businesses that use SQ payment products
- $SQ up around 202% for the year (+350% premium to its March low (overvalued on many metrics)

Bearish Case (cont.):
- You are NOT getting $SQ at a cheap price by no means right now
- Fiscal 2019 EPS: .80 (diluted) and analysts predict around a 30% decline in EPS for fiscal 2020
- Looking like a negative net income for 2020 (Q1: -105M & Q2: -11M)

Bull Case:
Square is disrupting the financial sector in many areas. It is a true one stop shop for small business vendors not just a payment product. Square basically takes care of everything top to bottom banking/payroll/loan/payment wise for vendors.

Bull Case (cont.):
What has really caught my eye is their expansion of their Cash App. Originally it was a P2P payment competitor to Venmo & Paypal but it has evolved to much much more.
Cash App allows to you to invest in securities along with crypto but there's more...

Cash App (cont.):
- Cash App has a "Cash Card" (debit card w/ some nice discount perks)
- Cash App let's you buy securities and Bitcoin on its app
Look know further for a crypto bull then @APompliano and @jack with SQ's recent bitcoin investment https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/8/21507533/square-50-million-bitcoin-dorsey-cryptocurrency

Developing before my eyes and what Jack / Square has in motion is the crossing of the SQ ecosystem into direct payrolls for employers using the Cash App.
Get paid instantly by your SQ using vendor through Cash App & being able to buy stocks/crypto w/ your paycheck is a dream

Although the high valuation I am long $SQ. I see it disrupting the entire banking industry & credit card payment industry in one fatal blow.
The full crossover of Square & Cash App will be a scaling and monetization machine.
