Fun fact: Wikipedia has 10 times as much money as it needs. Very little of that goes towards improving the encyclopedia itself, and NOTHING to the authors. Their panhandling is purely a grift for supporting the ever growing parasitic Wikimedia Foundation

Yes, fits what I've seen. Many investors are doing well now and don't feel pressing need to get into frontier areas. But this is like making money from desktop stocks in the dotcom boom. The camera is already shifting on-chain, and the ultimate risk is excessive risk aversion.

Netflix did not reform Blockbuster. Apple did not reform BlackBerry. Amazon did not reform Barnes & Noble. They didn't waste their time with the old system. They built a better alternative. And so should you.

@DelRey We know first hand what happens when you rely on Amazon and their FBA too much! @a.moise/the-movement-for-a-democratic-internet-has-begun-and-bleexy-is-leading-the-way-ff1b3432e957" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@a.moise/the-m…

Who do we think this US marketplace is? Not that many choices.

Historian and writer Yuval Noah Harari: Humankind is now facing what is perhaps the biggest crisis of our generation. The decisions people and governments take in the next few weeks will probably shape the world for years to come on.ft.com/3beAxvE

If you want to have a diverse, competitive economy, where people invent new things, write new books, & come up with new ideas, you need to have diverse pathways to marke. We could see the distribution of goods collapse into a single pipeline named Amazon. It’s incredibly risky.

"'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded." --Friedrich A. Hayek

Collapsing our distribution system to a single pipeline called Amazon is very risky & deeply damaging to the economy. For one, it means Amazon is effectively regulating our commerce, like a government. In a competitive market, there would be other channels of distribution.
