and it’s not a low tax 🫤

I really don’t like the economic state of the internet today…

Most of it’s economics is flowing through gateways of a handful of big tech companies and they are taking a ridiculous percentage of it.

Apple & Google app stores: ~30% YouTube: 45% Instagram, TikTok, Facebook… ~100% 🤯

The big tech is making hundreds of billions off of users attention and engagement, creator’s creativity, and innovator’s ideas and inventions!

Again: they tax innovation and creativity! 😡

When there is low economic incentives to be creative (because of this big tax) and

when you know you have no power over these giants and

they can wipe out your creations or

tax you even more,

innovation slows down 😢

This book made me at least 10 times smarter about internet, web, protocols, networks, economics and innovation.

It’s the education of a lifetime if you care about any of the above or human progress in general.

Chris Dixon brilliant analogies and perspective! I ordered 3 more copies to give as gifts!

Chris explains how blockchain networks are essential building blocks of the next era of the internet and

how they can counterbalance the current internet consolidation by big tech.

Happy reading! 📙
