Week 4, Feb 21 – Weekly Wrap Up

1.) Chip Shortage
2.) Coinbase S-1
3.) NFTs
4.) Spotify Launches Podvertising

 

1.) Chip Shortage: mom, the chips! We need more! Biden signed an executive order to address the American semiconductor chip shortage and review the global supply chain. You see, most chips are made in China & Taiwan. That’s a bit of a geopolitical pickle for the West since, ya know, we live in the digital age and all. Kinda need our own chips. You get the picture.

2.) Coinbase S-1: no HQ, no problem. The crypto kings are going public and may fetch a $100B valuation. Biggest debut since FB it may be. No corporate HQ listed either because..decentralization. Profitable too!

3.) NFTs: non-fungible tokens are ways to slice up internet real estate…we think. Could be art, NBA highlight reels, cryptokitties, or maybe something digitally cool you don’t even know about yet. Feel like a boomer over here tryna wrap the brain around this!

4.) Spotify Launches Podvertising: podcast monetization kinda stinks. Spotify is unveiling a new marketplace to make advertising better off the backs of their recent acquisition spree. They’ve probably got the best current shot at a monetization strategy outside Apple. Watch the audio space!
