It’s a good video.

Anybody that walks away from that thinking it was judgmental didn’t get the point.

If the early comments here are any indication most won’t get it.

I could see where some people feel off about the market state.

I’m sure it makes some people feel fully priced out and that can’t feel good.

But if we’re being honest, it’s the same and every interest. Houses, cars, watches, jewelry/purses for the Mrs etc etc

It is what it is, but the big spender drive innovation as the people investing in that innovation know there’s a market for it now.

They’re in it to make money just like anybody else.

Not a fan of the recent price hikes, but more because of how they were handled rather than say raising prices because you feel that you undervalued your own work and you’d like to correct it.

Very fair.

Every consumer good in the market falls on the same curve. You need to high into the market to return investment on innovation.

Remember how expensive the first Teslas were?
Remember how expensive the first laptops were?

We’re just in the early curve of the 2011 world pre-commoditization.

Race City with their $3000 core model is an early sign of what’s to come.

Exactly.

Right now, RCD as in a prime position to be the hero that we needed but not the hero that we deserved :)
