Let's Appreciate

Lets talk about supply chains So things have been pretty weird ever since Evergiven, the og stucky boi boat - but there are a host of other problems here - that precede Evergiven Its supply and demand, its a broken transport industry, its just-in-time inventory, and amazonian expectations, and its the Federal Reserve

Memes are great. They get people invested. They allow for a certain element of growth and inflow because they are: Funny Trade FOMO fundamentals Create investable narratives Are real, because memefication manifests an element of reality So despite all the memecoin run ups, the stock market going absolutely bonkers, public accounting being a bit ~loose~, and the Metaverse likely being our future - we have to remember that even though a lot of it doesn’t *feel* real, it is. SHIB is real. It’s a meme. The U.S. Dollar is real. It’s a meme of the collective belief in the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Accounting is a meme. It makes companies go up even when they shouldn’t. Everything is a meme! (except the supply chain) But money IS REAL (little bit of clickbait on the title). But we can’t forget at the end of the day that we *exist* feet on the ground. A bit dark - but if you die in the metaverse, you die in real life.

So whats going on here? We have bad policy (and we CAN fix this, as Huntsman outlines, as CoinCenter advocates for, etc). We have inflation - We do have rising prices in the U.S., and this is mostly a function of high demand and constrained supply chains, as well as outsized fiscal and monetary stimulus. However this is not hyperinflation - what happened in Weimar is that they were trying to spend their way out of a war debt situation, with the assumption that they would win the war (which didn’t work) and instead they inflated away their economy The main takeaway from this piece is: Policy is fundamentally broken (and we already knew that). And we know that we can fix it. We just have to engage. But policy is broken because we have forgotten about the connectors. We have become so accustomed to the “consumption on-demand” society that we operate in that we have forgotten that this society hinges on people. We have to remember people are behind EVERYTHING. Take care of each other.

The general theory of not-enougness: We have skewed demand and not enough supply. When thinking about supply, you have to think about the inputs. For example, think about what it takes to buy an apple at the grocery store: Apple seed goes to farm, farmer farms apple tree, apple gets picked from tree, apple gets loaded into truck, truck drives to warehouse, warehouse drives to grocery store, apple gets unloaded, you pick up apple, you walk to cash register, you buy apple, you drive home. That’s a LOT. Imagine that apple process x n^100000 and that’s what supply chains are like. There are so many opportunities for things to go wrong, and thus, they often do (especially when you have exogenous shocks like a global pandemic). If all the sudden the trucks stop delivering to the stores, you can no longer purchase your apple. Bad! And that’s kind of what’s going on right now: The thing theory: People are demanding things but there aren’t enough things to produce the things (labor, machinery, trucks etc). And that compounds as people demand MORE things. This works until it doesn’t

There are a lot of questions left to answer, and web3 seeks to solve a lot of them - but in the meantime - It’s still about the story. Stripping it all away, we are seeking for the story, for the building of the ecosystem, for understanding our MAIN OBJECTIVE. And the ecosystem in which these stories are being told is growing, flourishing, and we are nearing some sort of Cambrian Explosion of content. We have the apps, the infrastructure, the tools - and we are still the singular-celled organisms trying to figure out how to use it all. We can’t be the Apple or the Enron - because we haven’t even become animal phyla yet. It’s still really early. The world has evolved before we did, and we are just now catching up to it.

But all in all, we have a lot of people exploring this decentralized, tokenized world. Money is an abstraction of value. We want to own stuff. We want to build stuff. NFTs and their weirdness are the beginning to us figuring out what that might look like. It’s cool.  But there are still hurdles. We still don’t own the Internet (to an extent). But we are iterating into a world where we become the vortex - and along the way, we have to redefine what our frameworks and values are in the light of community, ownership, and finance as an increasing part of our narrative.  So yeah. That’s the long answer. The market is calibrating, and euphoria is a part of that. We are figuring out how to Own the Online.
