Major tech paradigm shifts disrupting the global Economic Machine? 🌎

The unequivocal profit & emissions maximization of our GDP model could see a shift toward a recurring value model

The domino-effects of web3 could be equally as transformative as web2 (photo below) Tech paradigms leads to new business models
1// After the millennia shift, web2 brought forward the internet of information & unlimited connectivity between data & people.

This led to the making of social media supercharging global connections.

Globalization of culture deluxe.

Elon Musk plans for Tesla to start production of robotaxis in 2024, intro of concept in 2023

The car will have no steering wheel or pedals, no human driving

”There’s going to be a dedicated robotaxi that is going to look quite futuristic-looking” - Elon

Distilled thoughts 🧵👇
1// Riding autonomous robotaxis could cost a fraction of average car use today, and cost less than a subsidizes bus or subway ticket

Tesla could create a platform for any Tesla-owner to rent out through - enabling quite serious side-income for anyone
2// This is a massive signal for Tesla becoming a service company, revolutionizing the car manufacturing industry

Major disruption coming for the taxi industry also - Uber’s 100 million monthly active users could love Tesla as a taxi company.

Digital Assets - the next asset class & organizational frontier

Music, lines of code, patents, data, ride hailing protocols, and even people skills - are all potential drivers for Digital Assets becoming the 6th major asset class & new vehicle for existing classes

Thread 🧵 Image
1/5

Digital assets could both generate an entire new asset class, but also become an agent for the 5 major existing classes converting into….increasing cost-efficiency substantially if for example companies, real estate and commodities were put into this new digital vehicle
2/5

Currently, Digital assets are valued at 2 trUSD (half in currencies & digital gold and other half in ”Smart protocols”)

This equals to a ~0.1% share of all types of global assets at around 1,500 trUSD

..or ~0.8% of global Equities & Bonds bundled together

Thread on the potential disruption of our economic model 🌎

When renewable materials merge with recycling tech & smart sensors, it could supercharge the transformation of how we drive & measure economic activities.

We need to break our eternal growth model from the core.

👇🧵
1/15

We need to remanufacture stuff close to point of consumption 🌎

Globalization has brought massive positive impacts on billions of people’s lives, but as a consequence the environment is being destroyed

Regional closed manufacturing loops should be the end-game solution
2/15

Stable backbone, instead of volatile.

The backbone of our global economic model is built on thousands of moving variables, often hinged on arbitrary human choices for egoistic reasons, with mass negative externalities.

The backbone should be predictable as a protocol.
