    I gotta wonder why QR payment has gotten so popular in East Asia and basically nowhere else

    What’s the difference driving this

      They basically skipped cards and moved from cash to app transfers. QR code is a natural extension of the app to make contactless payments accessible.

      I believe QR payments are popular in India as well.

      My guess is the greater capacity allowing for the encoding of Chinese and other non-ASCII characters
