The Aave <> Polygon situation shows that capital is much stickier at the application level (Aave) than the chain level (Polygon) However painful, Aave users will switch their Polygon position to another EVM chain rather than use an Aave competitor on Polygon

India was a socialist state until 1991. The government controlled means of production. It was only after radical economic reforms from 1991-96 that Indians gained economic freedom. Since then, 400 million people have been lifted out of poverty. It is one of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments of the 20th century. https://www.shreyashariharan.com/1991-when-india-gained-economic-freedom

There is no "lifestyle business" Anything that is good - from your local Airbnb to neighborhood bookshop - requires an inordinate amount of attention, care, and responsibility

Went to Glossier to buy something for my sister. The store employee looked at me and said, "if you're looking for the couch, it's at the back"

Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms lifted 800 million people out of poverty in China. Narasimha Rao's economic reforms lifted 500 million people out of poverty in India. These countries had entrenched bureaucracies that were hard to reform. Politicians who could maneuver these systems are among the highest impact people of the 20th century.

Kids (my niece) have the purest impression of what is real work They admire people collecting garbage, cooks making food at restaurants, workers laying bricks, nurses serving in the hospital They don't care about any sense of management or ordering people around

There was a time when pharma moved as fast as software. Here's the insulin production timeline: - 1920: initial idea - 1921: first test on dogs - 1922: first test on humans - 1923: scaled mass production in US Insulin was widely available in the US within the 4 years of the initial idea!

More thoughts: FDA was setup to regulate Pfizer and Merck. SEC was setup to regulate Goldman and Morgan. FAA was setup to regulate Boeing and Airbus. FDA is not setup to regulate a million bio hackers taking their health into their own hands. SEC is not setup to go after a million crypto holders. FAA is not setup to go after a million drone hobbyists.

Few weeks back, Mercury had to shut down accounts w/ owners in Nigeria, Pakistan, Ukraine because compliance costs were too high. It shows how much global economic activity is still untapped. So many businesses can't KYC, can't access stable dollars, can't access lending or capital markets.
