Digiday on the challenges slowing down the "podcast gold rush"

h/t @BradMichelson
@BradMichelson Effectively, there is a squeeze on the middle part of the market.

To compete at the highest levels, you actually need to produce something substantially differentiated - which takes serious resources.

On the other end of the spectrum, individuals can serve niches well.
@BradMichelson @benthompson talks about something similar in a very different context in today's @stratechery - which is that catering to niches (in the podcast case - information/interest niches) - is going to be better suited to individuals or smaller operations.

#Coronavirus

Dr. Francis Boyle Creator Of BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon & WHO knows about it

Dr. Boyle believes the virus escaped from the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory in #Wuhan

Explosive statement but need corroboration

greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boy…
He believes the virus is potentially lethal & an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government tried to cover it up & is now taking drastic measures to contain it
Dr. Boyle’s position is in stark contrast to the mainstream media’s narrative of the virus being originated from the seafood market, which is increasingly being questioned by many experts.

"DeFi Déjà Vu" by @mlphresearch is 💪. It adds rich historical context to financial innovation, relating the past to what we can expect from #DeFi if it continues to scale: placeholder.vc/blog/2019/12/1…

For those requesting a TLDR, there's a summary below 👇
"Innovators have a tendency to under-appreciate the reasoning behind the institutional and regulatory arrangement of existing systems, which represent the outcome of a long process of trial and error under constantly changing economic and political circumstances." -@mlphresearch
"In the crypto-financial industry, this is driven mainly by a justified appreciation for technological and societal change ('the old system is outdated'), but also a relative lack of experience and historical perspective given the youth of the industry." -@mlphresearch
