Here's a really wild chart.

Shares of Hilton have now matched the performance of Zoom since February 19, 2020, the market right before the pandemic.

Just incredible reversal of the "COVID winners" trade. The hotel business is booming. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-15/hilton-has-now-nearly-outperformed-zoom-video-since-the-pandemic-hit?sref=vuYGislZ $HLT $ZM

Indeed. Web3 is Web2 is Web1. Each of them doomed not because they became centralized, but because they each are rooted in the false premise that disintermediation = democratization, & that enhancing modalities for communication, without regard to rules, is a form of empowerment.

But there's a hard corollary: systems driven by network effects *lose* value when users leave. Your blender doesn't get better when someone else gets a blender of their own, but it also doesn't get worse when someone else throws theirs away. 3/

Hey, any freelancers or self-employed folks have an invoicing product they'd like to recommend?

Don't need it to tie into bookkeeping, literally just need to send good looking invoices and collect payments online.

Stripe invoices are surprisingly effective. If you want something a little fancier then I've had good luck with Invoice Ninja, payments processed by Stripe of course
