E-commerce in the US is in crisis: penetration peaked in Q2 2020 and has been stagnant since at ~16% of retail spend. Where will it go from here? In this thread, I’ll break down the bull/bear arguments, discuss a potential POV and share a link to the model used to derive it 🧵:

We founded @sorare with @adrien_sorare during a long & painful bear market (2018). I love building during these times: less noise, less opportunistic companies/people, more focus. Only the best will make through it, but these companies will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Let's go🔥

France is more and more attractive. But we are not there yet. Let’s be lucid about what happened over the past 20 years, where we are at, and where we want to be in 20 years. @EPhilippePM #UEMedef18
