no startup can compete against an america company backed by endless cheap money. Not that founders dont want to turn a profit its just a cruel game and its the way its until cheap money ends in USA(it never happens bcz no gov wants recession on their watch).

If we get that recession, we could see those rates reverse and end up negative again before too long.
