    “As we think about platform progression over the decades, each successive phase shift follows more quickly on the heels of its predecessor and, importantly, tends to have a higher magnitude effect on the global economy. As a sanity check, we can simply reflect on the timeline over the past 60 -odd years as we've moved from the mainframe to client/server, the internet, cloud, smartphone , and now, Artificial Intelligence .

    “Nothing lasts forever and things often mean-revert Whenever a negative theme in investing persists for an extended period, it becomes increasingly challenging to resist extrapolating current trends into eternity, rather than considering that things might as well change. This is also true for positive themes. In reality, however, things often mean-revert. For example, the aforementioned ZIRP that fueled the longest bull market in history, led market participants to question throughout the 2010s whether low nominal interest rates were here to stay to which many extrapolated their answer and said yes, although the outcome was 'no'. As an aside, despite the FED hiking nominal rates since the emergence of HSD inflation in 2022, real interest rates are still rather low compared to e.g. the 1990s (see below). In Europe, many political observers extrapolated after decades without a full-fledged inter- European war, that this situation would persist indefinitely. In 2022, the assumption turned out to be false and Europe reverted somewhat to its violent past. However, the most significant event that led to extrapolation of current conditions into the future was the spread of COVID- 19, which made many founders and CEOs interpret their distorted business volumes as a new normal and made them bet that old trendlines were obsolete. Browsing through the business press, the pandemic seemed to imply exponential gloom for dozens of technology companies and doom for any travel or live event related company. In technology, Shopify saw demand for e-commerce solutions skyrocket from a front row seat as most retail shifted online due to shelter-in-place orders and Shopify’s merchant solutions revenues doubled in 2020 vs. 2019.”
