supply chains and stucky bois

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

Cambrian Explosion 2.0

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.

ownership but also wtf are nfts

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.

collective belief is the new free cash flow

my first attempt at a podcast! let me know if you like the style!   People are using the stock market as a way to find community. People are using it as a tool to connect with other people. That’s why you see the proliferation of social investing apps - because investing is scary and overwhelming. The stock market is weird. It doesn’t make sense.  AMC is driven by narratives. AMC is driven by collective belief behind the value of an asset. AMC exists because we crave community.   https://kyla.substack.com/p/is-collec...
