New article! How PayPay really took off as an app payment method in Japan, and why the usual explanation for events like this - convenience - might be the wrong one. Cash is convenient! Also the infrastructures of payment (convenience stores) are crucial

Convenience stores are information processing systems. They are also ATMs, interfaces to marketplaces, and much more. This article tracks the different ways convenience stores precede and map platform histories in Asia.
