I like how every tech startup and their wide-eyed users are coming around full-circle:
1. modern finance --> crypto --> modern finance
2. hotels --> airbnb --> hotels
3. taxis --> uber --> (it's only a matter of time)
Reality hits like a ton of bricks and pounds to dust whatever fragile trends are in its way. The Old Way of doing things is that way for a lot of good reasons, and it seems that people are discovering those reasons, essentially reliving the evolution of those systems and all their warts that had to be ironed out over time.
Really makes you think.
- toast0 4y ago> taxis --> uber --> (it's only a matter of time) The issue with that is Uber brought unlicensed taxis to a lot of places that didn't have usable service levels from licensed taxis. I'd rather have a licensed taxi, but having a taxi at all is better than nothing. I think that's a lot different than modern finance and hotels which basically work for the most part.
