The best advice that I can give modern retailers is to become supply chain, distribution, and manufacturing independent of China as quickly as possible.

For the old guard, it may be too late to pivot.

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

Emotions and thoughts can certainly arise while we are in a state of Presence. The key is to hold the space for them without getting lost in the mind stream. https://t.co/VhHvvPrkn7

So if you’re invested in a payments startup, is a commoditized space where you want to place your chips?

[crunchbase @crunchbase]

Today, it seems that every major tech company doubles as a bank. Apple Card, Square Cash, Google Pay, etc.—all promise the most convenient & fastest payment service on the market. According to @Ripple's @ashgoblue, this shift is accelerating. https://t.co/YeoRXuwFip

Another big win for @Shopify ...global eSports is about to pull in $1.1bn in revenue this year, worldwide, and understanding this market is a huge capability. Welcome @LiquidTLO !!

[Dario TLO Wünsch @TLOgg]

Today begins a new chapter;
I'm officially joining @Shopify as their esports program manager!
It's been an absolute honour to be with @TeamLiquid for over a decade. I'll never forget the incredible experiences with the team and the friendships forged will last a lifetime!

[Jeff Batchelor @JeffBatch]

Interesting prediction re: trade war between US/China...it’s a bit left given that it doesn’t fully bake out the last 3 decades of US/China balances, but the Disney+ flopping of a Chinese endorsed “Mulan” is foretelling.

[Web Smith @web]

This may be worth your time. Read between the lines.

I write because I want to learn the subject, not because I think that I know it best.

Yeah the “choose all car pictures” is a huge deterrent...curious to know what the aggregate impact is here.

[Darkfire Capital LLC @DarkfireCapital]

If I had a business with an online sign on, the last security software I’m using is reCAPTCHA. WTF is the point of making my customer jump through 2-3 different bizarre picture puzzles before they can get to my site? There HAS to be a better way...

Shoppers: "Why is @away's sale glitching so bad?"

Retail pros: "That...and also, why is Away having a sale to begin with?"

@joshuavoydik @web Would love to know your definition of advanced/complex!

[Jeff Batchelor @JeffBatch]

Preach!

[Web Smith @web]

Just build it on Shopify Plus. Use the war chest elsewhere.

[Jeff Batchelor @JeffBatch]

Hardly a crash, Jim

[Jim Cramer @jimcramer]

News: Adidas Yeezy GM joins @shopify. Tobi probably tipped his Kangol and said "take that, shoulder shimmy."
