2. We found this table on valuation of agro-chemical players worth highlighting.

At 43x P/E, the mean valuation of the pack is higher than historical averages and inching towards FMCG valuations. Is there Margin of Safety?

Note: EV = MCap + Net Debt (Debt - Cash)

Revolution, Digital Gold, Ponzi, Scam..

โ€œBitcoinโ€ โ€“ almost everyone has an opinion on it! Bitcoin, along with other coins in Crypto Land, have seen a steep correction in last few days.

Let's use this fall to simplify and de-jargonize the complicated world of Bitcoin.
Thread ๐Ÿงต
๐Ž๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ: Bitcoin was born in chaos, in the aftermath of 2008 financial crisis โ€“ banks collapsing, counter parties abetting on contracts and declining trust in Central banks. It was designed as a peer to peer decentralized monetary system devoid of intermediaries.

The domain Bitcoin.org was registered in Aug 2008 and the Bitcoin paper (bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) was published on Oct 31, 2008. This started the journey of Cryptocurrency.

One interesting development during the week was that Bajaj Finance got RBI approval to issue and operate SEMI-CLOSED Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI) with PERPETUAL validity.

Here is an explainer thread ๐Ÿงต on what this means for Bajaj Finance and potential implications.
1/9
What are PPIs?
PPIs are instruments that facilitate purchase of goods & services or interpersonal money remittances, etc, against the value stored on such instruments.

While PPIs aren't entirely new (remember Sodexo coupons, Edenred cards), it was formalized by RBI in 2017.

2/9
How is it different from Credit Cards?

Prepaid payment instruments come with a pre-loaded value and in some cases a pre-defined purpose of payment (more on this later).

PPIs makes it more convenient to get credit at the retail store, or to get an EMI without a physical CC.
