RE: Letters to Jack Dorsey - Reflecting on Investments
Hey, cute post. But...what you mean, are you saying microsoft laughed at the idea of ipads or they established themselves there?...its not clear...it looks contradictory ... read it again.
Similarly, Microsoft first laughed at iPads when they were released. Even though Microsoft was the first who came up with a tablet idea and category for personal computing. It didn't take off, so they scrapped the project. Even before iPhones and iPads, Microsoft created a touchscreen device with a brand Surface. No, I am not talking about the Surface tablet/laptop device. It was a big coffee table size machine with a large touchscreen. It was a great innovation. But the price was high and wasn't designed for personal use. They targetted businesses. So when they decided to jump into the personal tablet competition, they already had the R/D done. Everything was in place, including the branding - "Surface". They turned the coffee table computer into a tablet with full Windows OS functionality. Now they have the market share, Surface is a thing and not going anywhere. Why? Because they had the passion and the vision for the device. It wasn't only about the money.
So are you saying. They laughed at the idea and went ahead work hard and developed it? and so on... they eatablished themselves having market share or or you saying opposite???
I like your simplicity in investments...clear... I was so messy with my investments, jumping around, selling when panicky and losing money, I did not do well with my investments even though it was a bull run for BTC.
I spent lots of time to learn about proper investment stratergies that I am HOLDING... BTC, TC, ETH, Chainlink, POWR (Power Ledger) , Steem (I earn what I get paid here) and small amounts in few other blockchain projects.
BTW, please check out Power Ledger ...
Check it's concept an fundamentals, I am sure on my Power Ledger original pick, without help of any advisers(: ...Its peer to peer solar energy blockchain platform stuff, already getting implemented and working. Anyway...just felt you may like to read another real use case cryptocurrency that is already having had its blockchan technology work and stuff.
Have a great day!!
These are just my opinions. Don’t take them too seriously or as factual information. What I meant was when Apple first released iPad, Microsoft didn’t see the vision immediately. iPads ended up creating a whole new category of consumer devices. Microsoft attempted to create their own tablet late 90s, it wasn’t successful and disappeared. When they went back to their own core vision and passion they came up with Surface tablets which are widely used just like iPads.
