Amazon Was Web 1
Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new. Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download. Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Ye...

Marc Andreessen Is A Dud When It Comes To Politics
I have read some lucid lucid essays by Marc Andreessen on topics in tech. Here is but one example, Marc talking Bitcoin back in 2014. In a two-party democracy, the choice is binary and we all make mistakes. You have a democratic right to vote for, vouch for one of the two candidates. I get that. But Trump is different. And if you are still pining for him a full year after January 6 (Bin Laden's Fantasy, Trump's Reality) I am going to be suspicious. I understand differences in opinio...
Defeating Putin In Donbas Is The Cheap, Easy Option
As I follow Zelensky in this war, I am constantly reminded of this book I read just a few months ago. At that time there was no inkling of Putin’s invasion. I read the book because I am perennially interested in Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Lincoln was not even a soldier. It was not a war he had chosen. He became a student of war in the White House. And because his instincts were right, and he stood on the side of justice and liberty, he seems to have made all sorts of right war moves. If...

One amazing thing Alibaba did was it built credit histories for the average Chinese consumer who had no credit history at all in the American sense of the term, and that was not going to change anytime soon. Alibaba used a person’s e-commerce activities on its very website to vouch for their creditworthiness. And it has worked like magic.
I want to take that spirit to the lowest income brackets on the planet. And I also want to build credit histories for people who might have social capital and no other capital at all. And I have ways to do that without any e-commerce involved, although I am not opposed to e-commerce. It is going to be akin to turning fog into drinking water in the Sahara.

I think you could give a one-year paid holiday to 70% of the bureaucrats, police officers, and soldiers (some might argue and 100% of the politicians) in a country like my native Nepal and dismiss them subsequently, and most of them will get jobs that pay double in the private sector. My company would want to provide an e-Estonia for countries like Nepal. For 10% of the cost, you will get 100 times better government services. All you have to do is agree to switch.
My revenue is going to come from the US government which makes it rain for the defense contractors. My revenue is also going to come from countries like my native Nepal.
And I am going to do Kiva times a million, P2P, ordinary person to ordinary person. Velocity can be magic: money at the speed of light.
Building credit histories for the people who are officially the most creditworthy people, dollar for dollar, should be easy peezy squeezy.
