Wow… what a stunning statistic, terrifying when one truly considers that reality, literally 9 of 10 buying fresh air, the very definition of hopium, yet it is that precisely that is on offer, contrast that with an economy like… oh, China, where the statistic noted herein will be the exact inverse still likely I would guess without being privy the full metrics applicable, but nevertheless likely to be a similar 9 to 10 ratio, with the caveat, they are an economy and investment market heavily centric tangibles, manufacturing and supply chains required to support manufacturing at the scale China dominates the globe in…
I know where I want my money to be, that and assets, markets similar, together now buying up anything that owns or is engaged in real stuff, mining for example comprised only of companies actually engaged in mining, buying companies with great track records, not buying akin as so well Opined in this article… Intangibles, the intangibles equivalent for mining being companies owning licenses to mine, yet haven’t yet mined or have no track record of having successfully mined resources.. they need to be avoided at all costs or at best I would only commit 1 - 1.5% maximum of a portfolios value into such… the risk simply to great.

They do benefit from Synergies in the ecosystem they operate in like for example the internet and software together. They also produce spill overs where the tech is exploited by others building new product and spawn new and other innovations at the same time It totally true that when these companies fail the total value of the digital asset is lost. Not sure where it leaves us though
