Contentment: The Most Dangerous Lie We Tell Ourselves

Wait, wait, don’t come for me just yet. Just hear me out. What if everything you've been told about "being content" is actually holding you back? Maybe, just maybe, you’ll start seeing things differently too.

Yes, contentment is the ability to be happy and satisfied with whatever you have, without constantly wanting more. But my dear people, that’s also why we’re still stuck in 1993! Don’t get me wrong, contentment is great, but when it’s too much, it becomes premium mediocrity. You need to balance it. Even too much water can drown you.

Now, back to this 1993 matter. Believe it or not, we’re still rocking the same card payment method from way back, like a stubborn uncle who refuses to change his ringtone from “African Queen.”

The EMV chip was introduced in 1993 by Europay, Mastercard, and Visa to combat fraud and improve card security. Unlike magnetic stripe cards, which were prone to skimming and limited to a single application, EMV chips support multiple applications and generate unique data for each transaction and it is almost impossible for it to be cloned. While EMV technology has significantly reduced card-present fraud, it still has vulnerabilities. 

Even though EMV plastic cards aren’t eco-friendly, and the chips are expensive and hard to find, we keep producing them, making costs go through the roof (survival of the fittest, right?). Instead of finding a better solution, we’ve just accepted this reality and adjusted to the struggles that come with it.

Fast forward to today, the world has upgraded, but we’re still here, jamming to 1993 tech like it’s a classic hit. Oya, when are we moving forward? Yes, you heard me right! And the worst part? We’re not even showing any willingness to upgrade.

See, because we feel okay with it and keep managing, the high cost of card production remains outrageous. Honestly, it’s wild how fintechs and banks cope with these costs and even crazier that they still depend on physical cards when they could be thinking outside the plastic.

This is such a pitiable condition! You will wait 12 weeks (yes, 3 whole months!) before you get the card for your customers. And that’s if you will ever get it (sometimes logistics can make your card disappear like a magician). Poof! Gone. But guess what? We are still here, vibing in 1993. Because we have wired our minds to accept suffering and become so comfortable with it.

“As long as e no kill me, I go survive.”

My dear, who told you it’s not killing you? You are not even living, you are just graduating to a bigger shege! (laughs in Chinese).

Since the ATM card, payment  has changed greatly! We’ve seen EMV chip cards (1993), contactless payments, QR code transactions, and even biometric cards.

But don’t worry, since you’re not ready to move forward, we will drag you into 2025 by force.

Introducing CLOUD CARD.

Before you run, hear me out, this is the upgrade you’ve been praying for. Sudo, one of the fastest-growing fintech companies, has decided to think and act outside the box. Yes, before you ask, “But isn’t Sudo also making cards?” “no”Sudo is a fintech company making payments easy with virtual and physical cards and now including cloud cards (digital cards). Businesses use Sudo to create, manage, and control payments smoothly.

With Cloud Card, your physical card now lives on your phone, you don't have to think of production cost or misplacing your physical card or your card number being copied . And wait, you can still use it to withdraw money from ATMs and POS terminals. And no, you don’t need WiFi or mobile data.

And the price? Almost feels like you getting it for free. You got a card you almost didn’t even need to pay for! Sudo dragged us from 1993 to 2025 for what seems like you did not pay for. Give these guys their accolades!

And the best part is, you can even convert your existing physical card into a Cloud Card (digital card). And guess what? It’s contactless. So no more, inserting, or waiting. Just give me my cash and let me move.
