Hideo Kojima comments on the end of physical game production today in Italy:
"Today you can still download data. But at one point games will make into streaming services like Amazon or Netflix and companies will decide if you can play a game or not [...] At this point I won't have anything of my own [...] the data will be somewhere in a company and I will have the right to access it or not depending on how much this data tap is opened.
The fact that the initial data is not in my possession but is somewhere held by a private company means that I will always have that risk that for any reason, whether commercial or political, the company could prevent access to that data and therefore I will no longer be able to see that film, I will no longer be able to play that game.
This is what's happening next for the world of video games and I fear it will also happen for cinema."
It feels like we are headed to two different financial markets - the traditional one where institutional support is the driver and a decentralized one where community support is the driver. When these two worlds meet in the same asset, there will be fireworks.
🇵🇸 🇨🇴 President Gustavo Petro: “Today we have 20,000 boys and girls murdered under bombs and the presidents of the countries of human destruction laugh in these corridors... The democratic project of humanity is dying with life, while the racists, the supremacists, those who stupidly believe that the Aryans are the superior race, prepare to dominate the world by writing the terror of bombs on the people. The control of humanity on the basis of barbarism is under construction and its demonstration is Gaza, Lebanon. When Gaza dies, all of humanity will die…It is in this achieved inequality, the greatest in our history as a species, where we find the logic of the massive destruction unleashed in the climate crisis and the logic of the bombs dropped by a criminal like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is a hero for the richest 1% of humanity, because he is able to show that people are destroyed under bombs.”

Orang tua perlu menjadi contoh bagaimana memaknai rasa "cukup". Dengan begitu, orang tua bisa mengajarkan anak agar tidak menjadi tamak. https://t.co/VigGmER1KQ
Dilution is not neutral and shouldn't be viewed as such. It's either positive or negative, good or bad.
In the world of VC-backed companies, dilution is such a normalized part of the journey that it is often passively accepted. This often leads to the negative form of dilution such as capital raised for:
-inefficient sales and marketing spend
-R&D supporting technology searching for a market
-layers of unnecessary organizational overhead
-supporting broken business models
-vanity valuations
-etc...
However, dilution has a positive and accretive expression as well such as capital raised for:
-scaling efficient go-to-market efforts
-product and channel expansion with clear ROI
-deleveraging and strengthening the balance sheet
-accelerating market share gains for a sound business model
-transformative investments (e.g. M&A, R&D, capex)
-etc...
Therefore, dilution should neither be passively accepted nor should it be categorically prohibited. It shouldn't be viewed as always positive or always negative because it can be either. The purpose and quality of the use of capital is what ultimately defines the merit of any dilution.
