Jeff Bezos willsoon visit, too. Rich people have done this sort o","content":"<p>Richard Branson has&nbsp;been to space. Jeff Bezos willsoon visit, too. Rich people have done this sort of thing before, but Branson and Bezos didn’t just pay for a ticket—they paid for the spaceships. Individuals, if they’re wealthy enough, are no longer beholden to government craft when they want to leave the planet for a little while.</p>\n<p>These two voyages have generated an awful lot of takes. Some have celebrated the engineering and persistence required to fly a bunch of humans into space and bring them back safely, or the wonder of pushing the boundaries of possibility. Mostly, though, this has proven an irresistible occasion to vent frustrations about billionaires doing billionaire things instead of focusing their resources on the pandemic, or climate change, or any of the other rolling crises here on Earth. People are dying. The planet is broken. Maybe these guys, and fellow billionaire space enthusiast Elon Musk, ought to tuck their space phalluses away for a couple of decades and focus on some of our more immediate concerns.</p>\n<p>A couple of decades ago, when the three men’s respective space companies were just getting started, they were taken as evidence that these nouveau riche types were dreaming too big. Now, notwithstanding some legitimate arguments about effective tax rates and who makes public policy, it’s the critics who are thinking too small. The billionaire joyrides into space are just the brightest, shiniest objects in a much larger field.</p>\n<p>After decades of false starts, Earth’s orbit and points beyond arealready being commercializedat incredible speed by dozens of private companies. Branson’s and Bezos’s willingness to go up in their own spacecraft amounts to little more than an endorsement that their vessels are finally safe enough for them to try, and, more pointedly, that space is open for business. Even if Bezos decides to back out before his flight on July 20, other people will keep going into space, possibly by the thousands, along with tens of thousands of machines designed to further commodify the heavens. What happens up above us will be one of the most important economic and technological stories of the next decade, whether or not Musk ever&nbsp;settles Mars.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6a72cf0ff778d7e2f6c27d0553b99cb\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"787\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Richard Branson in zero-G on July 11.SOURCE: VIRGIN GALACTIC</span></p>\n<p>Here are just a few of the less remarked-on recent stories out of the private space industry. First was the stock market debut of a company called Astra Space, which, backed by venture capitalists, built aviable orbital rocketin just a few years. Its goal is to fly satellites into orbit every single day. Shortly after Astra went public at avalue of $2.1 billion, satellite maker Planet Labs—which uses hundreds of eyes in the sky to photograph the Earth’s entire landmass daily—announced its plans to do the same, at avalue of $2.8 billion. Firefly Aerospacehas a rocketon a California pad awaiting clearance to launch. OneWeb and Musk’s SpaceX are both regularly launching satellites meant toblanket the planetin high-speed internet access. Rocket Lab, in the previously spacecraft-free country of New Zealand, isplanning missionsto the moon and Venus.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;SPAC frenzy&nbsp;has been particularly kind to the private space industry, including some of the companies named above. Easier access to public markets has helped draw billions of dollars from excited investors to an industry once dependent on governments with vague military objectives or expansive views of public works. Partly as a result, the number of satellites orbiting the Earth is projected to rise from about 3,400 to anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 in the next decade or so—and that’s even if these companies just fulfill the orders they’ve received so far.</p>\n<p>It seems likely the estimates will slide a bit, given that those kinds of numbers would require rockets to blast off one after another from bustling private spaceports all over the globe on an extremely frequent basis. But whatever the precise timing, the message will remain unchanged: Private space is here. This month’s space tourism race is just escape-velocity window dressing on a much bigger, more transformative set of changes. The results of these shifts will be unpredictable, except that ego and greed will likely be as present as ever. Nonetheless, the evidence on the non-ground suggests we should consider the possibility that this emerging industry might turn out OK.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9d850195e0ca0a784f57c617d3ed01d\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"935\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>A satellite image of the site Eveleth identified.PHOTOGRAPHER: PLANET LABS/JAMES MARTIN CENTER FOR NONPROLIFERATION STUDIES</span></p>\n<p>To understand just how far private space has already come and where the real action already is, look atDecker Eveleth, who, until several weeks ago, was an anonymous senior at Reed College in Portland, Ore. (A health issue set his graduation back a few months.) Eveleth is a typical college student, except that, for funsies, he scours satellite imagery in search of weapon stockpiles and other military infrastructure. Last month he spotted what look pretty clearly like more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missile silos sitting in a desert in northern China, lending credence to rumors that the nation is building nuclear weapons in large numbers.</p>\n<p>Eveleth heard the rumors from his mentorJeffrey Lewis, an expert in nuclear arms control who specializes in this kind of citizen recon, commonly known as open source intelligence. In May, Lewis asked the young man to see what he could find. Based on a previous discovery, Eveleth knew that the Chinese military had sometimes excavated a site to build silos, then covered them with inflatable structures similar to the small white domes used for indoor sports. (Lewis calls them “bouncy houses of death.”) Eveleth went looking for more domes. “I had to make a series of assumptions,” he says. “I assumed it would be in northern China because there’s been lots of activity there. I also assumed it would be on nice, flat areas with high-quality ground.”</p>\n<p>The undergrad searched satellite images spanning thousands of miles of Chinese desert. Until very recently, hardly any such images would exist for this territory. Conventional imaging satellites are costly, and generally need to be pointed with precision at discrete areas of high interest. Planet Labs’ much smaller, cheaper models, aimed at global coverage, have now taken years’ worth of pictures of the area Eveleth wanted. He created a gridded map and worked through it for more than a month until he spotted a collection of about 120 domes in one spot. Then he sorted the images from that area by date to see a play-by-play of the site’s clearing and construction. “We knew that it was a big deal,” he says.</p>\n<p>Early on June 27, Eveleth and Lewis asked Planet to take some higher-resolution photos of the site. The company’s engineers reoriented the relevant satellites using radio signals from earthbound stations, and barely 24 hours later, the pair could see much clearer shots of the domes, as well as trenches for communication cables leading out from what appeared to be underground operations facilities. In early July, Lewis took Eveleth’s discovery to the press.

Jeff Bezos willsoon visit, too. Rich people have done this sort of thing before, but Branson and Bezos didn’t just pay for a ticket—they paid for the spaceships. Individuals, if they’re wealthy enough, are no longer beholden to government craft when they want to leave the planet for a little while.\nThese two voyages have generated an awful lot of takes. Some have celebrated the engineering and persistence required to fly a bunch of humans into space and bring them back safely, or the wonder of pushing the boundaries of possibility. Mostly, though, this has proven an irresistible occasion to vent frustrations about billionaires doing billionaire things instead of focusing their resources on the pandemic, or climate change, or any of the other rolling crises here on Earth. People are dying. The planet is broken. Maybe these guys, and fellow billionaire space enthusiast Elon Musk, ought to tuck their space phalluses away for a couple of decades and focus on some of our more immediate concerns.\nA couple of decades ago, when the three men’s respective space companies were just getting started, they were taken as evidence that these nouveau riche types were dreaming too big. Now, notwithstanding some legitimate arguments about effective tax rates and who makes public policy, it’s the critics who are thinking too small. The billionaire joyrides into space are just the brightest, shiniest objects in a much larger field.\nAfter decades of false starts, Earth’s orbit and points beyond arealready being commercializedat incredible speed by dozens of private companies. Branson’s and Bezos’s willingness to go up in their own spacecraft amounts to little more than an endorsement that their vessels are finally safe enough for them to try, and, more pointedly, that space is open for business. Even if Bezos decides to back out before his flight on July 20, other people will keep going into space, possibly by the thousands, along with tens of thousands of machines designed to further commodify the heavens. What happens up above us will be one of the most important economic and technological stories of the next decade, whether or not Musk ever settles Mars.\nRichard Branson in zero-G on July 11.SOURCE: VIRGIN GALACTIC\nHere are just a few of the less remarked-on recent stories out of the private space industry. First was the stock market debut of a company called Astra Space, which, backed by venture capitalists, built aviable orbital rocketin just a few years. Its goal is to fly satellites into orbit every single day. Shortly after Astra went public at avalue of $2.1 billion, satellite maker Planet Labs—which uses hundreds of eyes in the sky to photograph the Earth’s entire landmass daily—announced its plans to do the same, at avalue of $2.8 billion. Firefly Aerospacehas a rocketon a California pad awaiting clearance to launch. OneWeb and Musk’s SpaceX are both regularly launching satellites meant toblanket the planetin high-speed internet access. Rocket Lab, in the previously spacecraft-free country of New Zealand, isplanning missionsto the moon and Venus.\nThe SPAC frenzy has been particularly kind to the private space industry, including some of the companies named above. Easier access to public markets has helped draw billions of dollars from excited investors to an industry once dependent on governments with vague military objectives or expansive views of public works. Partly as a result, the number of satellites orbiting the Earth is projected to rise from about 3,400 to anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 in the next decade or so—and that’s even if these companies just fulfill the orders they’ve received so far.\nIt seems likely the estimates will slide a bit, given that those kinds of numbers would require rockets to blast off one after another from bustling private spaceports all over the globe on an extremely frequent basis. But whatever the precise timing, the message will remain unchanged: Private space is here. This month’s space tourism race is just escape-velocity window dressing on a much bigger, more transformative set of changes. The results of these shifts will be unpredictable, except that ego and greed will likely be as present as ever. Nonetheless, the evidence on the non-ground suggests we should consider the possibility that this emerging industry might turn out OK.\nA satellite image of the site Eveleth identified.PHOTOGRAPHER: PLANET LABS/JAMES MARTIN CENTER FOR NONPROLIFERATION STUDIES\nTo understand just how far private space has already come and where the real action already is, look atDecker Eveleth, who, until several weeks ago, was an anonymous senior at Reed College in Portland, Ore. (A health issue set his graduation back a few months.) Eveleth is a typical college student, except that, for funsies, he scours satellite imagery in search of weapon stockpiles and other military infrastructure. Last month he spotted what look pretty clearly like more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missile silos sitting in a desert in northern China, lending credence to rumors that the nation is building nuclear weapons in large numbers.\nEveleth heard the rumors from his mentorJeffrey Lewis, an expert in nuclear arms control who specializes in this kind of citizen recon, commonly known as open source intelligence. In May, Lewis asked the young man to see what he could find. Based on a previous discovery, Eveleth knew that the Chinese military had sometimes excavated a site to build silos, then covered them with inflatable structures similar to the small white domes used for indoor sports. (Lewis calls them “bouncy houses of death.”) Eveleth went looking for more domes. “I had to make a series of assumptions,” he says. “I assumed it would be in northern China because there’s been lots of activity there. I also assumed it would be on nice, flat areas with high-quality ground.”\nThe undergrad searched satellite images spanning thousands of miles of Chinese desert. Until very recently, hardly any such images would exist for this territory. Conventional imaging satellites are costly, and generally need to be pointed with precision at discrete areas of high interest. Planet Labs’ much smaller, cheaper models, aimed at global coverage, have now taken years’ worth of pictures of the area Eveleth wanted. He created a gridded map and worked through it for more than a month until he spotted a collection of about 120 domes in one spot. Then he sorted the images from that area by date to see a play-by-play of the site’s clearing and construction. “We knew that it was a big deal,” he says.\nEarly on June 27, Eveleth and Lewis asked Planet to take some higher-resolution photos of the site. The company’s engineers reoriented the relevant satellites using radio signals from earthbound stations, and barely 24 hours later, the pair could see much clearer shots of the domes, as well as trenches for communication cables leading out from what appeared to be underground operations facilities. In early July, Lewis took Eveleth’s discovery to the press. The U.S. Department of State called the news “concerning.” Chinese state media said the site was just a wind farm under construction, but images from another satellite startup, Capella Space, undermined that explanation. Capella’s systems, based on a special type of radar, appeared to show liquid runoff coming out of the domes, and a series of metallic structures typically used to house weapons.\nIt’s tough to overstate what a major leap forward these private eyes represent. When the U.S. went space-looking for Soviet weapons of mass destruction in the late 1950s, it had to use rockets to carry bulky satellites into orbit, where they took photos and dropped their film canisters back to Earth to be, rather incredibly, caught in midair by planes.

Quick transitions from a low-lit environment to a brighter <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, such as exiting a tunnel, may require a few seconds for the driver’s eyes to adjust. Also, flickering from LED headlamps or road signage, such as street lamps and traffic lights, could become increasingly noticeable on the automotive system’s camera screen.</p>\n<p>The ISOCELL Auto 4AC offers a safer driving experience with an enhanced field of view for the driver with its CornerPixel™ technology. The technology features a specialized pixel structure that mitigates LED light over 90-hertz (Hz). Within a single pixel area, it embeds two photodiodes, one 3.0µm pixel for viewing low light images, and a 1.0µm pixel placed at the corner of the big pixel for brighter environments. With two photodiodes capturing images in different exposures simultaneously, the sensor offers up to 120dB HDR with minimal motion blur, allowing smoother transitions between dark and bright areas while preserving more details of the road ahead.</p>\n<p>To minimize LED flickering, the smaller photodiode’s exposure time can be extended, preventing pulsing LED light from being displayed as flickering on the camera screen.

The new sensor is Samsung’s first imaging solution optimized for automotive applications.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210713005498/en/\n\nSamsung Introduces Its First ISOCELL Image Sensor Tailored for Automotive Applications (Photo: Business Wire)\n“The new ISOCELL Auto 4AC combines Samsung’s innovative and market-proven image sensor technologies with a unique CornerPixel™ solution for advanced HDR and LFM capabilities, offering exceptional viewing experiences regardless of lighting conditions,” said Duckhyun Chang, executive vice president of sensor business at Samsung Electronics. “Starting with the ISOCELL Auto 4AC, we plan to expand our automotive sensor lineup to areas such as camera monitor systems (CMS), autonomous driving and in-cabin monitoring.”\nVarious lighting situations on the road may pose obstacles to the driver. Quick transitions from a low-lit environment to a brighter one, such as exiting a tunnel, may require a few seconds for the driver’s eyes to adjust. Also, flickering from LED headlamps or road signage, such as street lamps and traffic lights, could become increasingly noticeable on the automotive system’s camera screen.\nThe ISOCELL Auto 4AC offers a safer driving experience with an enhanced field of view for the driver with its CornerPixel™ technology. The technology features a specialized pixel structure that mitigates LED light over 90-hertz (Hz). Within a single pixel area, it embeds two photodiodes, one 3.0µm pixel for viewing low light images, and a 1.0µm pixel placed at the corner of the big pixel for brighter environments. With two photodiodes capturing images in different exposures simultaneously, the sensor offers up to 120dB HDR with minimal motion blur, allowing smoother transitions between dark and bright areas while preserving more details of the road ahead.\nTo minimize LED flickering, the smaller photodiode’s exposure time can be extended, preventing pulsing LED light from being displayed as flickering on the camera screen. This delivers a more pleasant viewing experience for the driver and more accurate image data on LED-embedded objects for the automotive system to recognize.\nThe Samsung ISOCELL Auto 4AC comes in a 1/3.7-inch optical format with 1.2 million 3.0-micrometer (µm) pixels, and for streamlined client system installations, an image signal processor (ISP) is embedded within the sensor.\nThe 4AC meets stringent AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualifications, including a -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and is currently in mass production.\nAbout Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.\nSamsung inspires the world and shapes the future with transformative ideas and technologies. The company is redefining the worlds of TVs, smartphones, wearable devices, tablets, digital appliances, network systems, and memory, system LSI, foundry and LED solutions.

That knowhow will allow chipmakers to stack integrated circuits on top of each other in a process called 3D packaging, promising smaller chip footprints, reduced power consumption and higher bandwidth between various parts.</p>\n<p>“Imagine having to cut a croissant cleanly in half,” Disco’s Chief Executive Officer Kazuma Sekiya said in an interview. “That takes a special kind of knife and considerable craftsmanship.”</p>\n<p>The semiconductor industry has long relied on Moore’s Law as a model for chip-technology breakthroughs, but makers are now approaching the physical limits of their ability to cram more transistors onto silicon as leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. migrate to ever-smaller nodes such as 3 nanometers. That’s prompting manufacturers to turn to solutions like 3D packaging to provide an edge. Disco’s technology has been in the making for four to five years and it’s finally ready for practical use, Sekiya said.</p>\n<p>The small number of specialized machines Disco has already shipped have had very high gross margins, the CEO said, without providing details. Dicers are typically used toward the end of the fabrication process to cut individual chips from a wafer.

That knowhow will allow chipmakers to stack integrated circuits on top of each other in a process called 3D packaging, promising smaller chip footprints, reduced power consumption and higher bandwidth between various parts.\n“Imagine having to cut a croissant cleanly in half,” Disco’s Chief Executive Officer Kazuma Sekiya said in an interview. “That takes a special kind of knife and considerable craftsmanship.”\nThe semiconductor industry has long relied on Moore’s Law as a model for chip-technology breakthroughs, but makers are now approaching the physical limits of their ability to cram more transistors onto silicon as leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. migrate to ever-smaller nodes such as 3 nanometers. That’s prompting manufacturers to turn to solutions like 3D packaging to provide an edge. Disco’s technology has been in the making for four to five years and it’s finally ready for practical use, Sekiya said.\nThe small number of specialized machines Disco has already shipped have had very high gross margins, the CEO said, without providing details. Dicers are typically used toward the end of the fabrication process to cut individual chips from a wafer. Slicing more chips earlier in the process, where per-unit prices are higher, resulting in a boost for Disco’s revenues, he added, declining to give a specific timeline.\n“Disco has grown at twice the semiconductor industry’s pace because of this need for precision grinding and dicing equipment,” Damian Thong, an analyst at Macquarie Group Ltd., said. “Over the last 40 years, they have worked on every kind of cutting application imaginable, so they are well positioned for this next shift to 3D integration and packaging.”\nSome memory chips and image sensors -- devices that convert light into ones and zeros -- already make use of vertical integration.

This was above the expected range of between $29 and $33, and the company may be set for a valuation of more than $9 billion.</p>\n<p><b>What does Confluent do?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is a Silicon Valley-based tech company that enables enterprises to access and interpret fluid data in the form of real-time streams, in order to better manage their operations. Information is derived from sensors placed in areas such as manufacturing floors and retail stores, which are used to monitor everything from inventory levels to stock capacity.

While the company has partnerships with some of the tech giants (see below) it is also faced with the prospect of competing against many of them.

As it turns out, we were correct.</p>\n<p>Because on Monday, Mathew McDermott, head of digital assets at Goldman, told Bloomberg News that the bank is planning to sell options and futures for ether and bitcoinvia its newly restarted crypto trading desk.</p>\n<p>Even JP Morgan, whose CEO once famously bashed bitcoin,is expanding its own crypto business,claiming its clients demand it. The global banking regulators at the Basel Committee also gave a begrudging green light for international banks to deal in cryptocurrencies (though they need to hold plenty of capital in reserve for any crypto on their balance sheet).</p>\n<p>According to McDermott, even after the drop in crypto prices, hedge funds are still eager to trade crypto. And Goldman is looking to invest in more crypto-focused companies.</p>\n<blockquote>\n \"We’ve actually seen a lot of interest from clients who are eager to trade as they find these levels as a slightly more palatable entry point,” McDermott said in a phone interview on Thursday. “We see it as a cleansing exercise to reduce some of the leverage and the excess in the system, especially from a retail perspective.” Goldman tapped McDermott, 47, to head its digital currency efforts last year. Under his watch, the business has grown to 17 people from four. The bank has also invested in crypto start-ups. It put $5 million into a fundraising round by Blockdaemon, a firm that creates and hosts the computer nodes that make up blockchain networks. In May, Goldman led the $15 million investment into Coin Metrics, a cryptocurrency and blockchain data provider to institutional clients, and McDermott joined the company’s board. “We are looking at a number of different companies that fit into our strategic direction,” he said. Other banks have also expanded their crypto operations. Cowen Inc. plans to offer “institutional-grade” custody services for cryptocurrencies. Standard Chartered Plc is setting up a joint venture to buy and sell virtual currencies, though HSBC Holdings Plc is avoiding Bitcoin for now.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Circling back to the report we mentioned above, Goldman and its team of analysts have clearly explored the pros and cons before deciding to expand its business.</p>\n<p>The term “cryptocurrencies”—which most people take to mean that crypto assets act as a digital medium of exchange, like fiat currency—is fundamentally misleading when it comes to assessing the value of these assets. Indeed,<b>the blockchain that underlies bitcoin was not designed to replace a fiat currency—it is a trusted peer-to-peer payments network.</b>As a cryptographic algorithm generates the proof that the payment was correctly executed, no third party is needed to verify the transaction.<b>The blockchain and its native coin were therefore designed to replace the banking system and others like insurance that require a trusted intermediary today, not the Dollar.</b>In that sense, the blockchain is differentiated from other “digital” transactional mechanisms such as PayPal, which is dependent upon the banking system to prevent fraud like double-spending.</p>\n<p>In order to be trustworthy, the system needed to create an asset that had no liabilities or contingent claims, which can only be a real asset just like a commodity. And to achieve that, blockchain technologies used scarcity in natural resources—oil, gas, coal, uranium and hydro—through ever-increasing computational-power consumption to “mine” a bit version of a natural resource.</p>\n<p>From this perspective, the intrinsic value of the network is the trustworthy information that the blockchain produces through its mining process, and the coins native to the network are required to unlock this trusted information, and make it tradeable and fungible. It’s therefore impossible to say that the network has value and a role in society without saying that the coin does too. And the value of the coin is dependent upon the value and growth of the network.</p>\n<p>That said, because the network is decentralized and anonymous,<b>legal challenges facing future growth for crypto assets loom large.</b>Coins trying to displace the Dollar run headlong into anti-money laundering laws (AML), as exemplified by the recent ransoms demanded in bitcoin from the Colonial Pipeline operator and the Irish Health service. Regulators can impede the use of crypto assets as a substitute for the Dollar or other currencies simply by making them non-convertible. An asset only has value if it can either be used or sold. And Chinese and Indian authorities have already challenged crypto uses in payments.</p>\n<p>As a result,<b>the market share of coins used for other purposes beyond currencies like “smart contracts” and “information tokens” will likely continue to rise.</b>However, even these non-currency uses will need to be recognized by courts of law to be accepted in commercial transactions—a question we leave to the lawyers.</p>\n<p><b>The network creates the value, unlike other commodities</b></p>\n<p>Unlike other commodities, coins derive their entire value from the network. A bitcoin has no value outside of its network as it is native to the Bitcoin blockchain. The value of oil is also largely derived from the transportation network that it fuels, but at least oil can be burned to create heat outside of this network.<b>At the other extreme, gold doesn’t require a network at all.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aba6f2b8dd670875cb7a0942c5fd95f0\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"399\">Derived demand leaves the holder of the commodity exposed to the risk of the network becoming obsolete—a lesson that holders of oil reserves are now learning with decarbonization accelerating the decline of the transportation network, and, in turn damaging oil demand. Likewise,<b>bitcoin owners face accelerated network decay risk from a competing network, backed by a new cryptocurrency.</b></p>\n<p>As the demand for gold is not dependent on a network,<b>it will ultimately outlive oil and bitcoin—gold entropy lies at the unit, not the network, level.</b>Indeed, most stores of value that are used as defensive assets—like gold, diamonds and collectibles—don’t have derived demand and therefore only face unit-level entropy risk. This is what makes them defensive. The world can fall apart around them and they preserve their value. And while they don’t have derived demand, they do have other uses that establish their value, i.e. gold is used for jewelry and as a store of value.</p>\n<p><b>Transactions drive value, creating a risk-on asset</b></p>\n<p>Crypto doesn’t trade like gold and nor should it. Using any standard valuation method, transactions or expected transactions on the network are the key determinant of network value. The more transactions the blockchain can verify, the greater the network value. Transaction volumes and the demand for commodified information are roughly correlated with the business cycle; thus,<b>crypto assets should trade as pro-cyclical risk-on assets as they have for the past decade. Gold and bitcoin are therefore not competing assets as is commonly misunderstood, and can instead co-exist.</b>Because the value of the network and hence the coin is derived from the volume of transactions, hoarding coins as stores of value reduces the coins available for transactions, which reduces the value of the network.<b>Because gold doesn’t have this property, it is the only commodity that institutional investors hold in physical inventory.</b>Nearly all other commodities are held in paper inventory in the form of futures to avoid disrupting the network.<b>This suggests that, like oil, crypto investments will need to be held in the form of futures contracts, not physically, if they are to serve as stores of value.</b></p>\n<p>Crypto assets aren’t digital oil, either, as they are not non-durable consumables and can therefore be used again. This durability makes them a store of value, provided this demand doesn’t disrupt network flows. The crypto assets that have the greatest utility are also likely to be the dominant stores of value—the high utility reduces the carry costs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2873efa55fd8073c76445c1cdc110f9\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"390\"></p>\n<p><b>So what is crypto? A powerful networking effect</b></p>\n<p>The network provides crypto an extremely powerful networking externality that no other commodity possesses. The operators—miners, exchanges and developers—are all paid in the native coin, making them fully vested in its success. Similarly, users—merchants, investors and speculators—are also fully vested. This gives bitcoin holders an incentive to accommodate purchases of their own products in bitcoin, which in turn, creates more demand for the coins they already own. Similarly, ether holders have an incentive to build apps and other products on the Ethereum network to increase the value of their coins.</p>\n<p><b>Because the coin holders have a stake in the network, speculation spurs adoption; even during bust periods, coin holders are motivated to work to create the next new boom.</b>After the dot-com bust, the shareholders had no commodity to promote. In crypto assets, even when prices collapse, the coin holders have a commodity to promote. They will always live for another boom, like an oil wildcatter.</p>\n<p><b>It’s all about information</b></p>\n<p>As the value of the coin is dependent on the value of the trustworthy information, blockchain technology has gravitated toward those industries where trust is most essential—finance, law and medicine. For the Bitcoin blockchain, this information is the record of every balance sheet in the network, and the transactions between them—originally the role of banks. In the case of a smart contract—a piece of code that executes according to a pre-set rule—on Ethereum, both the terms of that contract (the code) and the state of the contract (executed or not) are the information validated on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, the counterparty in the contract cannot claim a transfer of funds without the network forming a consensus that the contract was indeed executed.<u><b>In our view the most valuable crypto assets will be those that help verify the most critical information in the economy.</b></u></p>\n<p>Over time, the decentralized nature of the network will diminish concerns about storing personal data on the blockchain. One’s digital profile could contain personal data including asset ownership, medical history and even IP rights. Since this information is immutable—it cannot be changed without consensus—the trusted information can then be tokenized and traded.<b><u>A blockchain platform like Ethereum could potentially become a large market for vendors of trusted information, like Amazon is for consumer goods today</u></b><b>.</b></p>\n<p><b>Crypto beyond this boom and bust cycle</b></p>\n<p>By many measures—Metcalfe’s Lawor Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio —crypto assets are in bubble territory. But does the demand for “commodified information” create enough economic value at a low enough cost to be scaled up in the long run? If the legal system accommodates these assets, we believe so.<b>While many overvalued networks exist, a few will likely emerge as long-term winners in the next stage of the digital economy, just as the tech titans of today emerged from the dot-com boom and bust.</b>This transformation is happening now—there are already an estimated 21.2 million owners of cryptocurrencies in the US alone. However, technological, environmental and legal challenges still loom large.</p>\n<p>Ethereum 2.0is expected to ramp upcapacity to 3,000 transactions per second (tps), while sharding—<b>which will scale Ethereum 2.0’s Proof of Stake (PoS) system through parallel verification of transactions—has the potential to raise capacity to as much as 100,000 tps.</b>For context, Visa has the capacity to process up to 65,000 tps but typically executes around 2,000 tps.<b>PoS intends to have validators stake the now scarce and valuable coins to incentivize good behavior instead of having miners expend energy to mine new blocks into existence, as under Proof of Work, making crypto assets more ESG friendly.</b>PoS also can significantly boost computational time in terms of transactions per second, which will further incentivize technological adoption. Ironically,<b>this is likely where the value of and demand for bitcoin will come from—being used as the scarce resource to make the PoS system work instead of natural resources.</b></p>\n<p>While overcoming the economic challenges will likely be manageable, the legal challenges are the largest for many crypto assets. And this past week was challenging for crypto assets with confirmation that the 75 bitcoin ransom over the Colonial Pipeline was actually paid. This is a reminder that cryptocurrencies still facilitate criminal activities that have large social costs.</p>\n<p><b>For Ethereum, new companies which aim to disrupt finance, law or medicine by integrating information stored on the platform into their algorithms are likely to run into problems with being legally recognized.</b>If crypto assets are to survive and grow to their fullest potential, they need to define some concept of “sufficiently decentralized” that will satisfy regulators; otherwise, the technologies will soon run out of uses.</p>\n<p>In summary: the talk in the crypto community lately has focused on whether ether is finally supplanting bitcoin since the former has more utility, and therefore a greater potential for a network effect.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As it turns out, we were correct.\nBecause on Monday, Mathew McDermott, head of digital assets at Goldman, told Bloomberg News that the bank is planning to sell options and futures for ether and bitcoinvia its newly restarted crypto trading desk.\nEven JP Morgan, whose CEO once famously bashed bitcoin,is expanding its own crypto business,claiming its clients demand it. The global banking regulators at the Basel Committee also gave a begrudging green light for international banks to deal in cryptocurrencies (though they need to hold plenty of capital in reserve for any crypto on their balance sheet).\nAccording to McDermott, even after the drop in crypto prices, hedge funds are still eager to trade crypto. And Goldman is looking to invest in more crypto-focused companies.\n\n \"We’ve actually seen a lot of interest from clients who are eager to trade as they find these levels as a slightly more palatable entry point,” McDermott said in a phone interview on Thursday. “We see it as a cleansing exercise to reduce some of the leverage and the excess in the system, especially from a retail perspective.” Goldman tapped McDermott, 47, to head its digital currency efforts last year. Under his watch, the business has grown to 17 people from four. The bank has also invested in crypto start-ups. It put $5 million into a fundraising round by Blockdaemon, a firm that creates and hosts the computer nodes that make up blockchain networks. In May, Goldman led the $15 million investment into Coin Metrics, a cryptocurrency and blockchain data provider to institutional clients, and McDermott joined the company’s board. “We are looking at a number of different companies that fit into our strategic direction,” he said.

Standard Chartered Plc is setting up a joint venture to buy and sell virtual currencies, though HSBC Holdings Plc is avoiding Bitcoin for now.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Circling back to the report we mentioned above, Goldman and its team of analysts have clearly explored the pros and cons before deciding to expand its business.</p>\n<p>The term “cryptocurrencies”—which most people take to mean that crypto assets act as a digital medium of exchange, like fiat currency—is fundamentally misleading when it comes to assessing the value of these assets. Indeed,<b>the blockchain that underlies bitcoin was not designed to replace a fiat currency—it is a trusted peer-to-peer payments network.</b>As a cryptographic algorithm generates the proof that the payment was correctly executed, no third party is needed to verify the transaction.<b>The blockchain and its native coin were therefore designed to replace the banking system and others like insurance that require a trusted intermediary today, not the Dollar.</b>In that sense, the blockchain is differentiated from other “digital” transactional mechanisms such as PayPal, which is dependent upon the banking system to prevent fraud like double-spending.</p>\n<p>In order to be trustworthy, the system needed to create an asset that had no liabilities or contingent claims, which can only be a real asset just like a commodity. And to achieve that, blockchain technologies used scarcity in natural resources—oil, gas, coal, uranium and hydro—through ever-increasing computational-power consumption to “mine” a bit version of a natural resource.</p>\n<p>From this perspective, the intrinsic value of the network is the trustworthy information that the blockchain produces through its mining process, and the coins native to the network are required to unlock this trusted information, and make it tradeable and fungible. It’s therefore impossible to say that the network has value and a role in society without saying that the coin does too. And the value of the coin is dependent upon the value and growth of the network.</p>\n<p>That said, because the network is decentralized and anonymous,<b>legal challenges facing future growth for crypto assets loom large.</b>Coins trying to displace the Dollar run headlong into anti-money laundering laws (AML), as exemplified by the recent ransoms demanded in bitcoin from the Colonial Pipeline operator and the Irish Health service. Regulators can impede the use of crypto assets as a substitute for the Dollar or other currencies simply by making them non-convertible. An asset only has value if it can either be used or sold. And Chinese and Indian authorities have already challenged crypto uses in payments.</p>\n<p>As a result,<b>the market share of coins used for other purposes beyond currencies like “smart contracts” and “information tokens” will likely continue to rise.</b>However, even these non-currency uses will need to be recognized by courts of law to be accepted in commercial transactions—a question we leave to the lawyers.</p>\n<p><b>The network creates the value, unlike other commodities</b></p>\n<p>Unlike other commodities, coins derive their entire value from the network. A bitcoin has no value outside of its network as it is native to the Bitcoin blockchain. The value of oil is also largely derived from the transportation network that it fuels, but at least oil can be burned to create heat outside of this network.<b>At the other extreme, gold doesn’t require a network at all.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aba6f2b8dd670875cb7a0942c5fd95f0\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"399\">Derived demand leaves the holder of the commodity exposed to the risk of the network becoming obsolete—a lesson that holders of oil reserves are now learning with decarbonization accelerating the decline of the transportation network, and, in turn damaging oil demand. Likewise,<b>bitcoin owners face accelerated network decay risk from a competing network, backed by a new cryptocurrency.</b></p>\n<p>As the demand for gold is not dependent on a network,<b>it will ultimately outlive oil and bitcoin—gold entropy lies at the unit, not the network, level.</b>Indeed, most stores of value that are used as defensive assets—like gold, diamonds and collectibles—don’t have derived demand and therefore only face unit-level entropy risk. This is what makes them defensive. The world can fall apart around them and they preserve their value. And while they don’t have derived demand, they do have other uses that establish their value, i.e. gold is used for jewelry and as a store of value.</p>\n<p><b>Transactions drive value, creating a risk-on asset</b></p>\n<p>Crypto doesn’t trade like gold and nor should it. Using any standard valuation method, transactions or expected transactions on the network are the key determinant of network value. The more transactions the blockchain can verify, the greater the network value. Transaction volumes and the demand for commodified information are roughly correlated with the business cycle; thus,<b>crypto assets should trade as pro-cyclical risk-on assets as they have for the past decade. Gold and bitcoin are therefore not competing assets as is commonly misunderstood, and can instead co-exist.</b>Because the value of the network and hence the coin is derived from the volume of transactions, hoarding coins as stores of value reduces the coins available for transactions, which reduces the value of the network.<b>Because gold doesn’t have this property, it is the only commodity that institutional investors hold in physical inventory.</b>Nearly all other commodities are held in paper inventory in the form of futures to avoid disrupting the network.<b>This suggests that, like oil, crypto investments will need to be held in the form of futures contracts, not physically, if they are to serve as stores of value.</b></p>\n<p>Crypto assets aren’t digital oil, either, as they are not non-durable consumables and can therefore be used again. This durability makes them a store of value, provided this demand doesn’t disrupt network flows. The crypto assets that have the greatest utility are also likely to be the dominant stores of value—the high utility reduces the carry costs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2873efa55fd8073c76445c1cdc110f9\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"390\"></p>\n<p><b>So what is crypto? A powerful networking effect</b></p>\n<p>The network provides crypto an extremely powerful networking externality that no other commodity possesses. The operators—miners, exchanges and developers—are all paid in the native coin, making them fully vested in its success. Similarly, users—merchants, investors and speculators—are also fully vested. This gives bitcoin holders an incentive to accommodate purchases of their own products in bitcoin, which in turn, creates more demand for the coins they already own. Similarly, ether holders have an incentive to build apps and other products on the Ethereum network to increase the value of their coins.</p>\n<p><b>Because the coin holders have a stake in the network, speculation spurs adoption; even during bust periods, coin holders are motivated to work to create the next new boom.</b>After the dot-com bust, the shareholders had no commodity to promote. In crypto assets, even when prices collapse, the coin holders have a commodity to promote. They will always live for another boom, like an oil wildcatter.</p>\n<p><b>It’s all about information</b></p>\n<p>As the value of the coin is dependent on the value of the trustworthy information, blockchain technology has gravitated toward those industries where trust is most essential—finance, law and medicine. For the Bitcoin blockchain, this information is the record of every balance sheet in the network, and the transactions between them—originally the role of banks. In the case of a smart contract—a piece of code that executes according to a pre-set rule—on Ethereum, both the terms of that contract (the code) and the state of the contract (executed or not) are the information validated on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, the counterparty in the contract cannot claim a transfer of funds without the network forming a consensus that the contract was indeed executed.<u><b>In our view the most valuable crypto assets will be those that help verify the most critical information in the economy.</b></u></p>\n<p>Over time, the decentralized nature of the network will diminish concerns about storing personal data on the blockchain. One’s digital profile could contain personal data including asset ownership, medical history and even IP rights. Since this information is immutable—it cannot be changed without consensus—the trusted information can then be tokenized and traded.<b><u>A blockchain platform like Ethereum could potentially become a large market for vendors of trusted information, like Amazon is for consumer goods today</u></b><b>.</b></p>\n<p><b>Crypto beyond this boom and bust cycle</b></p>\n<p>By many measures—Metcalfe’s Lawor Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio —crypto assets are in bubble territory. But does the demand for “commodified information” create enough economic value at a low enough cost to be scaled up in the long run? If the legal system accommodates these assets, we believe so.<b>While many overvalued networks exist, a few will likely emerge as long-term winners in the next stage of the digital economy, just as the tech titans of today emerged from the dot-com boom and bust.</b>This transformation is happening now—there are already an estimated 21.2 million owners of cryptocurrencies in the US alone. However, technological, environmental and legal challenges still loom large.</p>\n<p>Ethereum 2.0is expected to ramp upcapacity to 3,000 transactions per second (tps), while sharding—<b>which will scale Ethereum 2.0’s Proof of Stake (PoS) system through parallel verification of transactions—has the potential to raise capacity to as much as 100,000 tps.</b>For context, Visa has the capacity to process up to 65,000 tps but typically executes around 2,000 tps.<b>PoS intends to have validators stake the now scarce and valuable coins to incentivize good behavior instead of having miners expend energy to mine new blocks into existence, as under Proof of Work, making crypto assets more ESG friendly.</b>PoS also can significantly boost computational time in terms of transactions per second, which will further incentivize technological adoption. Ironically,<b>this is likely where the value of and demand for bitcoin will come from—being used as the scarce resource to make the PoS system work instead of natural resources.</b></p>\n<p>While overcoming the economic challenges will likely be manageable, the legal challenges are the largest for many crypto assets. And this past week was challenging for crypto assets with confirmation that the 75 bitcoin ransom over the Colonial Pipeline was actually paid. This is a reminder that cryptocurrencies still facilitate criminal activities that have large social costs.</p>\n<p><b>For Ethereum, new companies which aim to disrupt finance, law or medicine by integrating information stored on the platform into their algorithms are likely to run into problems with being legally recognized.</b>If crypto assets are to survive and grow to their fullest potential, they need to define some concept of “sufficiently decentralized” that will satisfy regulators; otherwise, the technologies will soon run out of uses.</p>\n<p>In summary: the talk in the crypto community lately has focused on whether ether is finally supplanting bitcoin since the former has more utility, and therefore a greater potential for a network effect.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As it turns out, we were correct.\nBecause on Monday, Mathew McDermott, head of digital assets at Goldman, told Bloomberg News that the bank is planning to sell options and futures for ether and bitcoinvia its newly restarted crypto trading desk.\nEven JP Morgan, whose CEO once famously bashed bitcoin,is expanding its own crypto business,claiming its clients demand it. The global banking regulators at the Basel Committee also gave a begrudging green light for international banks to deal in cryptocurrencies (though they need to hold plenty of capital in reserve for any crypto on their balance sheet).\nAccording to McDermott, even after the drop in crypto prices, hedge funds are still eager to trade crypto. And Goldman is looking to invest in more crypto-focused companies.\n\n \"We’ve actually seen a lot of interest from clients who are eager to trade as they find these levels as a slightly more palatable entry point,” McDermott said in a phone interview on Thursday. “We see it as a cleansing exercise to reduce some of the leverage and the excess in the system, especially from a retail perspective.” Goldman tapped McDermott, 47, to head its digital currency efforts last year. Under his watch, the business has grown to 17 people from four. The bank has also invested in crypto start-ups. It put $5 million into a fundraising round by Blockdaemon, a firm that creates and hosts the computer nodes that make up blockchain networks. In May, Goldman led the $15 million investment into Coin Metrics, a cryptocurrency and blockchain data provider to institutional clients, and McDermott joined the company’s board. “We are looking at a number of different companies that fit into our strategic direction,” he said.

TheS&P 500is trading near a record high, but has been bouncing around the 4,200 level for more than a month.\nKolanovic, who gained a following on Wall Street over the past two years for his timely market calls during the pandemic, said in a note to clients on Monday that the market was positioned for a breakout.\n“The next leg higher is likely upon us, following the sideways move in markets and bond yields over the past two months, with Cyclicals expected to do better again vs Defensives,” the note said. “Despite peaking in some activity indicators, the market is likely to get comfortable that growth will remain significantly above trend in 2H, supported by both consumer and capex.”\nThe prediction for a move higher in stocks is part of Kolanovic’s larger risk-on view. The trading pattern of the broader market appears consistent with a pause in a bull market and not a set-up for a pullback, he said.\n“Our outlook remains positive for risky asset classes, with expectations for Equities and Commodities to have the highest return, and bond yields to continue their move higher. This pro-risk view is driven by the ongoing recovery from the pandemic ... accommodative monetary stance from global central banks, and still below-average positioning in risky asset classes such as equities and commodities,” the note said.\nThe strategist did warn that market participants and economists appear to be underestimating the risk of inflation in the second half of the year. Rising prices and Fed policy changes could lead to higher interest rates and impact which stocks turn out to be winners, Kolanovic said.\n“This suggests that it is premature to come back to Tech, but Value and value-oriented sectors should continue to outperform,” the note said.\nKolanovic has been bullish recently, telling CNBC in May that the market was “getting cheap” and in Januarydownplayed concerns that stocks were in a bubble.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137290430,"gmtCreate":1622347553420,"gmtModify":1704183314081,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":" .

On the other hand, increasing share count will make it harder to pull off a short squeeze because more AMC stock is in circulation.</p>\n<p>Management can be commended on playing its cards well. The surge in AMC's stock price is giving it a lifeline. It's easy to forget that the company was in danger of running out of cash during the depths of the pandemic. Now, with states easing business restrictions, folks returning to movie theaters, and bolstered by an additional $1.2 billion on its balance sheet, that danger has retreated.</p>\n<p>However the vote turns out, it will be interesting to follow as 4.1 million shareholders decide on the outcome.

Image source: Getty Images.\nTough choice\nRetail investors who are hoping to pull off a short squeeze have a tough choice in front of them. On the one hand, voting in favor of authorizing management to sell additional AMC stock could secure its balance sheet and help it make it through the pandemic. On the other hand, increasing share count will make it harder to pull off a short squeeze because more AMC stock is in circulation.\nManagement can be commended on playing its cards well. The surge in AMC's stock price is giving it a lifeline. It's easy to forget that the company was in danger of running out of cash during the depths of the pandemic. Now, with states easing business restrictions, folks returning to movie theaters, and bolstered by an additional $1.2 billion on its balance sheet, that danger has retreated.\nHowever the vote turns out, it will be interesting to follow as 4.1 million shareholders decide on the outcome. Stay tuned.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119853366,"gmtCreate":1622536934255,"gmtModify":1704185847014,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":" .

That knowhow will allow chipmakers to stack integrated circuits on top of each other in a process called 3D packaging, promising smaller chip footprints, reduced power consumption and higher bandwidth between various parts.\n“Imagine having to cut a croissant cleanly in half,” Disco’s Chief Executive Officer Kazuma Sekiya said in an interview. “That takes a special kind of knife and considerable craftsmanship.”\nThe semiconductor industry has long relied on Moore’s Law as a model for chip-technology breakthroughs, but makers are now approaching the physical limits of their ability to cram more transistors onto silicon as leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. migrate to ever-smaller nodes such as 3 nanometers. That’s prompting manufacturers to turn to solutions like 3D packaging to provide an edge. Disco’s technology has been in the making for four to five years and it’s finally ready for practical use, Sekiya said.\nThe small number of specialized machines Disco has already shipped have had very high gross margins, the CEO said, without providing details.

Following the company's IPO, discover more about its background and plans.</p>\n<p><b>When was the Confluent IPO?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent's IPO date on Nasdaq was June 24.&nbsp;The company priced its shares at $36 to raise $828&nbsp;million through an offering of 23 million shares, under the ticker CFLT. This was above the expected range of between $29 and $33, and the company may be set for a valuation of more than $9 billion.</p>\n<p><b>What does Confluent do?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is a Silicon Valley-based tech company that enables enterprises to access and interpret fluid data in the form of real-time streams, in order to better manage their operations. Information is derived from sensors placed in areas such as manufacturing floors and retail stores, which are used to monitor everything from inventory levels to stock capacity. Then, the information is transferred to a data lake for analysis.</p>\n<p>The company was founded in 2014 by LinkedIn engineers Jay Kreps, Jun Rao and Neha Narkhede, who created Apache Kafka, the open source ‘distributed storage system’ on which Confluent is based. With a $500,000 backing from LinkedIn, the trio rolled out the software platform for early use cases at the professional network, handling data streams with billions of messages.</p>\n<p>However, the ambition was bigger, and the same year the founders secured a $6.9 million round of funding led by venture capital firm Benchmark. The company quickly secured the custom of a range of tech luminaries, from Twitter to Netflix to Uber, which used the service for such functions as real-time analytics and fraud prevention.</p>\n<p>Confluent would go on to raise a further four rounds to the present day, totalling some $456 billion, according to Crunchbase.</p>\n<p>As of most recent 2020 figures, the company’s revenues are in excess of $300 million, with revenue in the first quarter of 2021 jumping 51% from the year previous. The company has around 1,500 employees.</p>\n<p><b>What is Confluent’s competition?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent’s competition comes from the likes of Amazon Web Services, Apache Software Foundation, Cloudera and Microsoft. While the company has partnerships with some of the tech giants (see below) it is also faced with the prospect of competing against many of them. However, the edge may be in Kreps’ assertion that the Apache Kafka system is faster than traditional messaging systems, and hence more suited to large volume data streams.</p>\n<p><b>How does Confluent make money?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent makes money through subscriptions of its products Confluent Cloud, a fully-managed cloud-based software as a service offering, as well as its Confluent Platform, its self-managed multicloud software product. It also sells support licenses for its open-source software, as well as proprietary software, freemium services and other miscellaneous licenses.</p>\n<p><b>What is Confluent 's business strategy?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent’s business strategy is based on the concept of combining on-premises services with managed services, as mentioned above. However, the company reportedly sees the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in customers needing to advance their digital capabilities on less budget, as accelerating a shift to managed services.</p>\n<p>June 2020 saw the company hire new CFO Steffan Tomlinson, former CFO of Google’s cloud division and armed with a demonstrable track record in IPOs, indicating the company’s appetite for flotation and accelerated growth.</p>\n<p>The company has also initiated partnerships with giant tech incumbents to broaden its reach. In April 2019 it partnered with Google Cloud and integrated Confluent’s managed service with Google Cloud Platform.</p>\n<p>Additionally, November 2020 saw the company announce plans for a partnership with IBM, where the computer manufacturer would be reselling Confluent Platform to its own users.</p>\n<p>Finally, in January 2021 Confluent unveiled a strategic alliance with Microsoft that would allow Confluent Cloud to be accessed as a fully managed service directly available on Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p><b>Is Confluent profitable?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is not currency profitable; it reportedly lost $229.8 million in 2020. That year, the company’s losses widened following a jump in operating expenses to $122.5 million, although this was caused mainly by equity compensation to investors.</p>\n<p>As with all highly-capitalised businesses with a significant burn rate, investors will be watchful of the scale of losses and if Confluent’s margins look to trend in the right direction soon.</p>\n<p><b>How much is Confluent worth?</b></p>\n<p>The 2021 Confluent IPO could see a valuation of around $9 billion.</p>\n<p>Prior to that, the most recent valuation in April 2020, when it raised a $250 million series E round of funding, saw Confluent worth $4.5 billion, with a 2019 raise of $125 million equalling a $2.5 billion valuation.</p>\n<p><b>Who owns Confluent?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is owned by a variety of shareholders, with Benchmark as the largest at 15.3% ownership of Confluent's common stock. Other stakes are held by the likes of Sequoia Capital (9.3%), Index Ventures (13%) and Jun Rao (10.6%).

That year, the company’s losses widened following a jump in operating expenses to $122.5 million, although this was caused mainly by equity compensation to investors.\nAs with all highly-capitalised businesses with a significant burn rate, investors will be watchful of the scale of losses and if Confluent’s margins look to trend in the right direction soon.\nHow much is Confluent worth?\nThe 2021 Confluent IPO could see a valuation of around $9 billion.\nPrior to that, the most recent valuation in April 2020, when it raised a $250 million series E round of funding, saw Confluent worth $4.5 billion, with a 2019 raise of $125 million equalling a $2.5 billion valuation.\nWho owns Confluent?\nConfluent is owned by a variety of shareholders, with Benchmark as the largest at 15.3% ownership of Confluent's common stock. Other stakes are held by the likes of Sequoia Capital (9.3%), Index Ventures (13%) and Jun Rao (10.6%). The percentage of the business retained by the founders is unclear.\nWho are the directors of Confluent?\nConfluent has a number of key personnel that have helped progress the company to its current multi-billion dollar valuation. Here are some of them, correct as of June 21 2021.\n\n\n\nPosition\nName\n\n\nFounder and CEO\nJay Kreps\n\n\nCo-founder\nJun Rao\n\n\nChief Financial Officer\nSteffan Tomlinson\n\n\nChief Marketing Officer\nStephanie Buscemi\n\n\nChief Product and Engineering Officer\nGanesh Srinivasan\n\n\nChief People Officer\nCheryl Dalrymple\n\n\nChief Customer Officer\nRoger Scott\n\n\n\nRelated: Confluent Prepares For $713 Million IPO","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":126,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185599862,"gmtCreate":1623658366756,"gmtModify":1704207973951,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":"shaunthehuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f3e83b5c7c3bc39a3c75d16321936b3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3554754854784723","authorIdStr":"3554754854784723"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yessss pls like n comment","listText":"Yessss pls like n comment","text":"Yessss pls like n comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185599862","repostId":"1101734335","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1101734335","pubTimestamp":1623654726,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1101734335?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14 15:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These stocks could be big winners if interest rates continue to fall","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1101734335","media":"CNBC","summary":"Interest rates are unexpectedly retreating, spurring investors to rethink which stocks to bet on as ","content":"<div>\n<p>Interest rates are unexpectedly retreating, spurring investors to rethink which stocks to bet on as 2021 continues.

Certain stocks that have performed well when rates fell in the past might just be big winners again.\nInvestors anticipated higher interest rates this year as the economy reopens, triggering big growth and inflation. Yet despite some high inflation readings, rates have started reversing lower.\nThe May consumer price index came in hotter-than-expected on Thursday, jumping 5% from a year earlier — the fastest pace since 2008. Even so, the 10-year Treasury yield fell as low as 1.43% this week, down from its high for the year of 1.77% and the lowest level in three months.\nCNBC PRO identified eight periods of significant drops in the 10-year Treasury yield over the past decade. We then calculated the median return for S&P 500 stocks during those periods. The stocks below had the best returns during periods when the 10-year yield was falling.\nWhat’s more, we filtered out stocks that are currently not loved by analysts. These stocks have a buy rating from at least 70% of analysts.\nSTOCKS WITH BIG RETURNS DURING FALLING RATE PERIODS\n\n\n\nSYMBOL\nCOMPANY\nSECTOR\n(%) MEDIAN GAIN DURING FALLING RATE PERIODS\n(%) BUY RATING\n\n\n\n\nEQIX\nEquinix, Inc.\nFinance\n27.1\n83.9\n\n\nNVDA\nNVIDIA Corporation\nTechnology\n23.7\n73.8\n\n\nSBAC\nSBA Communications Corp.

And history fits that theory, with many tech names making the list of top low-rate performers.\nBig tech names like Amazon,Microsoft and Google-parent Alphabet made CNBC PRO’s screen — and it looks those stocks are already seeing some interest from investors. Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet are on track to gain a few percentage points this week.\nHigh-growth stock Nvidia is also on the list. Shares of the chip maker are up more than 30% in 2021 and have more than doubled in the past 12 months.\nReal estate investment trusts like Equinix,SBA Communications and Prologis also make CNBC PRO’s list. REITs typically perform well amid lower rates because they pay out a large portion of their revenue to investors in the form of dividends. Lower rates make those steady payouts look more attractive by comparison.\nLam Research,Visa and Caesars Entertainment are other names that have performed well in previous periods of low interest rates.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115614781,"gmtCreate":1622985512543,"gmtModify":1704194079125,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":"shaunthehuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f3e83b5c7c3bc39a3c75d16321936b3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3554754854784723","authorIdStr":"3554754854784723"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like n comment pls","listText":"Like n comment pls","text":"Like n comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/115614781","repostId":"1156802172","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156802172","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1622950106,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156802172?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-06 11:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nio Begins Prepping For Nio Day 2021: What We Know So Far","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156802172","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The catalyst that drove NIO Inc. shares to an all-time high of $66.99 earlier this year was Nio Day ","content":"<p>The catalyst that drove&nbsp;<b>NIO Inc.</b>&nbsp;shares to an all-time high of $66.99 earlier this year was Nio Day 2020&nbsp;on Jan. 9.

The final winner will be decided based on the votes.\nWhy It's Important:Nio Day is an annual event for Nio users and other guests. The company has been hosting the event since 2017 when the first Nio Day was in Beijing, where its first mass-produced model, the ES8, debuted.\nNio Day 2020 was held in Chengdu on Jan. 9, 2021. The annual event meant for 2020 was pushed to early 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company unveiled its first-ever sedan, named ET7, at the event. It also made product and service-related announcements.\nSeveral rumors have surfaced regarding a mass-market model from Nio under a different brand name. The company could shed some light on this at Nio Day 2021 event.\nWith the ET7 scheduled to be made available commercially in the first quarter of 2022, the company could share more details on the sedan and its launch plans.\nNio users may also look ahead to more details on the company's recent expansion into Norway.\nAt last check Friday at publication, Nio shares were rallying 2.54% to $41.94.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":49,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":113068845,"gmtCreate":1622586781787,"gmtModify":1704186643057,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":"shaunthehuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f3e83b5c7c3bc39a3c75d16321936b3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3554754854784723","authorIdStr":"3554754854784723"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like n comment","listText":"Pls like n comment","text":"Pls like n comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/113068845","repostId":"2140626460","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140626460","pubTimestamp":1622561601,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140626460?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 23:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140626460","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<p>In my three stocks to avoid article last week, I predicted that <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZUO\">Zuora</a></b> (NYSE:ZUO),&nbsp;<b>Riot Blockchain </b>(NASDAQ:RIOT), and <b>Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund</b> (OTC:GDLC) would have a rough few days.</p><ul><li>Zuora shares climbed 3% for the week.

Quick transitions from a low-lit environment to a brighter <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, such as exiting a tunnel, may require a few seconds for the driver’s eyes to adjust. Also, flickering from LED headlamps or road signage, such as street lamps and traffic lights, could become increasingly noticeable on the automotive system’s camera screen.</p>\n<p>The ISOCELL Auto 4AC offers a safer driving experience with an enhanced field of view for the driver with its CornerPixel™ technology. The technology features a specialized pixel structure that mitigates LED light over 90-hertz (Hz). Within a single pixel area, it embeds two photodiodes, one 3.0µm pixel for viewing low light images, and a 1.0µm pixel placed at the corner of the big pixel for brighter environments. With two photodiodes capturing images in different exposures simultaneously, the sensor offers up to 120dB HDR with minimal motion blur, allowing smoother transitions between dark and bright areas while preserving more details of the road ahead.</p>\n<p>To minimize LED flickering, the smaller photodiode’s exposure time can be extended, preventing pulsing LED light from being displayed as flickering on the camera screen.

The new sensor is Samsung’s first imaging solution optimized for automotive applications.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210713005498/en/\n\nSamsung Introduces Its First ISOCELL Image Sensor Tailored for Automotive Applications (Photo: Business Wire)\n“The new ISOCELL Auto 4AC combines Samsung’s innovative and market-proven image sensor technologies with a unique CornerPixel™ solution for advanced HDR and LFM capabilities, offering exceptional viewing experiences regardless of lighting conditions,” said Duckhyun Chang, executive vice president of sensor business at Samsung Electronics. “Starting with the ISOCELL Auto 4AC, we plan to expand our automotive sensor lineup to areas such as camera monitor systems (CMS), autonomous driving and in-cabin monitoring.”\nVarious lighting situations on the road may pose obstacles to the driver. Quick transitions from a low-lit environment to a brighter one, such as exiting a tunnel, may require a few seconds for the driver’s eyes to adjust. Also, flickering from LED headlamps or road signage, such as street lamps and traffic lights, could become increasingly noticeable on the automotive system’s camera screen.\nThe ISOCELL Auto 4AC offers a safer driving experience with an enhanced field of view for the driver with its CornerPixel™ technology. The technology features a specialized pixel structure that mitigates LED light over 90-hertz (Hz). Within a single pixel area, it embeds two photodiodes, one 3.0µm pixel for viewing low light images, and a 1.0µm pixel placed at the corner of the big pixel for brighter environments. With two photodiodes capturing images in different exposures simultaneously, the sensor offers up to 120dB HDR with minimal motion blur, allowing smoother transitions between dark and bright areas while preserving more details of the road ahead.\nTo minimize LED flickering, the smaller photodiode’s exposure time can be extended, preventing pulsing LED light from being displayed as flickering on the camera screen. This delivers a more pleasant viewing experience for the driver and more accurate image data on LED-embedded objects for the automotive system to recognize.\nThe Samsung ISOCELL Auto 4AC comes in a 1/3.7-inch optical format with 1.2 million 3.0-micrometer (µm) pixels, and for streamlined client system installations, an image signal processor (ISP) is embedded within the sensor.\nThe 4AC meets stringent AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualifications, including a -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and is currently in mass production.\nAbout Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.\nSamsung inspires the world and shapes the future with transformative ideas and technologies. The company is redefining the worlds of TVs, smartphones, wearable devices, tablets, digital appliances, network systems, and memory, system LSI, foundry and LED solutions.

Our strategic priorities are evolving to reflect the changing needs of our customers and our business, and what matters most to our stakeholders,” said CEO Carol Tomé.\nUPS shares were marked 0.4% lower in pre-market trading Wednesday to indicate an opening bell price of $209.00 each, a move that would trim the stock's year-to-date gain to around 24.2%.\nUPS, which partnered with the U.S. government in delivering COIVD-19 vaccines around the country, posted a near tripling of adjusted earnings in its fiscal first quarter under new CEO Tomé , with a bottom line of $2.77 per share on revenues of $22.9 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":106,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":118211570,"gmtCreate":1622733268090,"gmtModify":1704190128604,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":"shaunthehuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f3e83b5c7c3bc39a3c75d16321936b3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3554754854784723","authorIdStr":"3554754854784723"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQ\">$Square(SQ)$</a>pls like n comment","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQ\">$Square(SQ)$</a>pls like n comment","text":"$Square(SQ)$pls like n comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/118211570","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139323781,"gmtCreate":1621594051843,"gmtModify":1704360231621,"author":{"id":"3554754854784723","authorId":"3554754854784723","name":"shaunthehuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f3e83b5c7c3bc39a3c75d16321936b3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3554754854784723","authorIdStr":"3554754854784723"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is good","listText":"This is good","text":"This is good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139323781","repostId":"1114639539","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114639539","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1621592770,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114639539?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 18:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Supplier TSMC On How Repeat Of Crippling Chip Shortage Can Be Avoided In Future","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114639539","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co TSM said the automotive industry needs to modernize its “Just-","content":"<p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co</b>&nbsp;TSM&nbsp;said&nbsp;the automotive industry needs to modernize its “Just-in-time” supply chain practices to avoid a similar semiconductor shortage as the ongoing one&nbsp;in the future, Reutersreported&nbsp;Friday.</p><p><b>What Happened:</b>&nbsp;The world’s largest chipmaker has significantly increased 2021 output for a key automotive semiconductor component amid the ongoing global chip shortage, the report said.</p><p>TSMC managed to increase output for MCUs (microcontrollers) by 60% over the 2020 level, which when compared with the pre-pandemic level is a 30% increase over 2019, the report said.</p><p>In the first quarter, sales for TSMC’s auto chipsjumped31% from the previous quarter, representing only 4% of overall sales.</p><p>TSMC is among the growing voices advocating that&nbsp;it is time for the industry&nbsp;to modernize&nbsp;the just-in-time auto supply chain model first adopted by<b>Toyota Motor Corp</b>TM 0.06%decades ago which later became an industry standard.</p><p>Chip equipment maker&nbsp;<b>Applied Materials Inc</b>&nbsp;AMAT&nbsp;on Thursday warned the current capacity shortfalls reflect how the highly efficient, just-in-time practice to fill scarcity may not be effective going forward.</p><p><b>Why It Matters:</b>&nbsp;The global chip shortage has forced automakers across the world to halt production lines and the shortage is now impacting consumer electronics as well including&nbsp;<b>Apple Inc</b>&nbsp;AAPL, akey clientfor the Taiwan-based TSMC.</p><p>President Joe Biden hadsoughta $50 billion congressional funding to drive U.S. semiconductor production and research.
