They said it was impossible. After decades of #antitrust cases over #PredatoryPricing - selling below cost to kill or prevent competitors - the #ChicagoSchool of neoliberal #economists "proved" predatory pricing didn't exist, so courts could stop busting companies for it.

Predatory pricing - the economists explained - was illegal, but it was also imaginary. A mirage. No one would predatory price, because it was "irrational." Even if someone irrational enough to try it, they would fail. Stand down, American judges - predatory pricing is solved.

Quotes Lucretius on Pg 77
"Dum taxat, rerum magnarum parva potest res
exemplare dare et vestigia notitiae.
So far as it goes, a small thing may give an analogy of
great things, and show the tracks of knowledge. "

2/ WadzPay 2.0
It is technology enhancements that allows better settlement, consumer experience, seamless flow of funds, tokenisation etc.
It is a combination of different layers which is WadzPay and their strategic partners such as Algorand, USDC and others. ( $XDC is a partner)

#Multiverse goes from being valued at £14m in 2018 - £648m today
To be fair, it sounds like a good idea (and apparently, unlike many other 'Unicorns' is actually turning a profit)
US Hedge Fund driving that #valuation though #D1 💸
Shades of #WeWork?

In fairness, it's a great idea that could change graduate tech recruitment
Will expand to senior Recruitment brand for it's alumni

More than 3 years ago, @ScheckWSJ & I began reporting on Saudi Arabia's bold economic changes under King Salman & his son Mohammed bin Salman. Today is publication day for BLOOD AND OIL, our book about MBS's rise to power & the storm of activity during his first 5 years in power
MBS's ascent is important because all signs point to him becoming the king of Saudi Arabia at a young age, setting him up to be in power for decades. He is also pushing his country toward rapid, radical change with regards to social practices, religion, and the economy
He's unlike anyone in #Saudi history, a young, technology-obsessed, business-focused ruler with an obsessive work schedule and attention to detail. He's also shown himself to be thin-skinned, brutal with dissidents and ruthless with his own family.
#SoftBank is projecting losses worth $24 billion for 2019 fiscal. The Japanese technology company attributed the losses on investments made through its #VisionFund..

We just can't get around our head why would #VisionFund invest in traditional Real Estate companies like

Especially Real Estate companies with no USP in the long run. No wonder WeWork and Oyo are among the main contributors for the Funds losses. (3/3)

You haven’t even begun to see the anger that will be unleashed on Adam Neumann. He has 15,000 people right now who are stuck cleaning up. They feel like circus clowns shovelling the shit. He has taken $750M & left a toxic waste cleanup.

Adam Neumann came in, smoked his own supply, and walked out with three-quarters of a billion dollars about the time that people in hazmat suits showed up.
SoftBank is the only firm in the world that will put money into this thing right now. They either have to go back to their limiteds and say, “We’re probably putting good money after bad,” and create an argument for why there’s still value there, or they have to go bankrupt.
