The announcement sounds ambitious.
X Money beta is here, and it’s being touted as a game-changer. Send and receive money, just like you’ve been doing with other services for years. William Shatner’s charity got a boost from 42 fans who donated for early access. Because what’s more innovative than paying for the privilege of being a beta tester?
