Episode notes
Arctic As The Space-Earth Umbilical
- The Arctic is now a central geopolitical and data hub because it's the primary ground connection point for mega satellite constellations.
- Control of Arctic infrastructure underpins access to space-based energy, resources, and global connectivity.
Asteroids Could Unleash Abundant Metals
- Asteroid mining (e.g., Psyche) could massively increase metal supply and reshape global value chains.
- In-orbit refining and retrieval methods will determine whether that supply collapses prices or creates new industries.
Track Tokenization As A Funding Highway
- Watch tokenization and new investment banks like Erebor as they create funding pathways outside traditional equity and debt.
- Consider token issuance and stablecoin-backed fundraising as a practical channel for early-space and frontier ventures.
