Good stuff. The shot at CART and DASH reminds me of Petition's work on cash-incinerating e-grocers.

Eventually all will end up in the same place.

Thanks Philip! Will take a look at that piece. How will it impact my biases?! 😂

It’s behind their paywall but the first paragraph reads like a super-villain origin story for this crazy sector!!

"For those reading this in bed next to a sleeping partner"; so accurate one wonders if the Squirrel is not blind afterall and hacked into my phone's camera....

It's where I do so much of my reading, Ernesto!

Looking at the holder list I don't see much need of people having to sell down their DASH allocation to make room for some tasty CART. But with the stock up 100% in 12 months, there will be some of those flows I imagine.

I think the only way the PE guys get out is by being diluted down to nothing via Stock Based Comp!! Capital owning so much is a complete head scratcher for me!!

Enjoy the write-up as usual. Doordash just launched locally. Restaurants definitely mark up the price to account for commission (probably similar to Uber Eats). I have never use these apps personally. Since everyone is feeling the pitch these days, they seem a bit underwhelming TBH!

Thanks Daniel. I think the unprofitable public stock based compensation recyclers do not survive this cycle. Dash is a case study.
