ChatPay targets 100 billion social media users

1

Experts have said that the over 100 billion active users on Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, Skype and Telegram can now carry out financial transactions directly from these platforms with the aid of ChatPay.

According to them, ChatPay allows everyone with a social media account to conduct transactions from the home without visiting a bank.

Why do Nigerian startups keep pulling outrageous figures out of their rotund posterior.

Has it actually helped anyone?

Was the error on Punch’s part or they just copy and paste any press release any startup that can pay for their service sends to them?

I don’t think it was an error, Vanguard reported the same thing -> http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/chatpay-makes-entry-targets-100-billion-social-media-users/

Same press release, same copy and paste.

It goes without saying that there are just 7 billion people in the world.

I think the figure comes from an addition of all users across these popular platforms but as unique users. Just saying.

It’s a very silly thing to do but I think that explains it for me…so I can rest.

Facebook. The current biggest social network has a total 1.7 billion people.

They’d need 50+ Facebooks for that to make sense

Maybe they meant million.

But, really their product/service is nice.

11

Do they know what it means when 1 thousand people stand in an assembly? They just call number because it is easy to say.

12

Even 100 million is a stretch at this stage.

Really??? 100 billion you mean? Damn, this thread stink :mask:

Seems they have found a way to communicate with aliens and have added them to social media hence why the 100 billion users figure.

Guess we need to ask ChatPay how they have been able to achieve communicating with ET when NASA hasn’t even achieved that :laughing:

100 BILLION?? Thats a bit far fetched dont you think? even Facebook havent gotten to 2billion YET!
