AWS is now the fourth biggest software enterprise software company in the world hidden inside of the people who bring you your milk and books.
it is beneficial for us to dig into what's going on at coinbase is how they deal with you know the surging transactions a company that clearly does not have the infrastructure to deal with the kinds of transactions that are going through their pipes and they acknowledge it and yet there's no other place to really transact there are a few other exchanges that have even worse infrastructure you have daily limits on the amount of money that you can get out so you have a run
I don't have great insight into what's going on operationally which again is probably a sign they're doing a pretty good job one thing I've noticed just as a user is that prices have gone up pretty dramatically over the course of the last six to eight months I feel like you for my purposes they've gone up I would say 60 to 70 percent
one of the most remarkable investments ever and one of the greatest dramas ever
uber as an investment represents one of those all-time investments there are you know maybe seven to ten of them that we could you know reel off of the top of our head over the last 20 to 30 years so this is one of them and it certainly looks like it's the most dramatic
I one of the true sort of ironies and of the many ironies in the Trump administration is he went so hard after Amazon in very unspecific way during the campaign that he was going to go after them as a non taxpayer which isn't true and that there's some sort of they're using their tax status to prop up the Washington Post or vice versa and all of this was nonsense and then none of this plays out Amazon is up 26% this year and nothing has happened to them and then Trump takes credit for the increa
And Uber was trying to be a U.S. internet company that could succeed in China with an understanding of how big the market is. But they don't need China. And perhaps given where the market value is or where the valuation is, China is viewed as essential to improving that valuation. So you get 20% of the market leader as an investment. Feels pretty good to me.
Just the amount of pressure that these companies were coming under from their board and from their investors to get a deal done. I mean, all of their money was getting spent against each other, burning billions of dollars for market share in China, a rapidly growing market, still a fairly nascent market when it comes to ride sharing.
they've got a good box
it hasn't made much sense for them to do a TV for a long time I mean it's it's it's kind of a senseless piece of Hardware that I mean speaking you know there is nothing more commoditized in technology than televisions um and there are plenty of people that do great TVs that sell them at incredibly low margin so why would Apple want to be in that game
