Affirm has democratized lending by providing financing in small increments for people who don\u2019t have the means to buy things up front, and they do it transparently, showing you exactly when and how much you\u2019ll be charged. I would rather go with a pioneer like Affirm and Max Levchin that has a strong relationship with the best of the best, Amazon, Shopify, Costco. That feels like the cleaner way to play this thesis. In a crowded field, I say go with the specials\u2026 And if you want to play buy now, pay later, oh come on, I\u2019d rather own a pure play like Affirm, the democratizer of lending.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure data-testid=\"article-figure-image\" class=\"yf-750ceo\">\n<div class=\"image-container yf-lglytj\" style=\"--max-height: 540px;\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper yf-lglytj\" style=\"--aspect-ratio: 960 \/ 540; --img-max-width: 960px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/BaIME7Nqc5Ut8zCWhbOiLQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/insidermonkey.com\/753cb9cb32336de8f86289f7a7c7b36e\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"540\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Photo by Artem Podrez on Pexels<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Affirm Holdings, Inc.
