Would it make more sense for a larger company to buy Square before it goes public? I thought I'd heard people saying Apple or Google should but I'm not sure how much benefit there would be since they have payment systems now.
Google also has their own hardware & payment system. What does Square offer that Google doesn't already have, more or less?
Square's user base and momentum on the retail side. Even if there is nothing special in the technology, they might be worth buying for that.
