Here is my attempt: blockchain is a 'good enough' way to bootload a platform for making permissionless dollar-denominated payments. You could technically achieve the same functionality, with better performance, off an interoperabl

Did McKinsey write this? > Quantum computing is poised to be the next major innovation, but five of the top ten tech companies globally in terms of quantum investment are based in the US and four in China. None are based in the EU.

Amazon 1st party is and continues to be a loss leader. If they got rid of their 3rd party sellers tomorrow, the company would go bankrupt from the loss of B2B commission, fulfilment and ads revenue
