Well, I hope you've got your timing right,
this time.
Of course, I would have preferred that you were wildly late and that I had got
my timing right a few years ago.
In many ways I guess it could also be called (or explained by a concept of) luck, good fortune, karma or personal circumstance happening to align with macro cycles and events.
Who knows for sure, beforehand, and probably little does it matter, just what, we name it?
Charts of course provide a wonderful view of what was, and tempt us to predict what may be, according to our pattern seeking intelligence.
They say 'history repeats' and looking back at a curated representation certainly shows examples but we oft come adrift when trying to time patterns in advance.
The timing Bill Gross is talking about when describing his success story's, happened to ride waves of circumstance, fortunately arising when those companies happened to be launched, and certainly not created by them.
Who actually saw clearly,
at that time, that we were
at the height of a recession which meant peoples need for other sources of income would overpower a previous certain reluctance to share their private dwellings and vehicles?
Or that the availability of Adobe's Flash product along with sufficient broadband infrastructure would happen to provide a smooth pathway for YouTube?
And I guess his litany of failures from well resourced, managed and innovative concerns just happened to fall on stoney ground.
We, none of us, (who don't happen to be the Bezo's and Musk's of the world) can do much to control the timing of the macrocosm in which we find ourselves beyond perhaps holding on, whilst it hopefully catches up to us.
So many of us expect the world to line up to, or live up to, our expectations, but experience has taught me that it is more often the other way round.
And so, it seems to me, that the best we can do is try and put ourselves in the way of those coming waves, as best we can predict them, and hope to catch that swell that ever so briefly moves our world whilst we have strength to endure.
I still think we are awaiting
the use case that will provide the "killer application" to propel our product into the stratosphere.
That's why I held such great hope for Nanose, at the time of the pandemic.
I certainly didn't expect the pandemic but then no-one expects the Spanish (flu) Inquisition.
(Except for those who do....True story...I have a mate who shifted to the back blocks of NZ twenty years beforehand thinking a worldwide pandemic was coming who abandoned his isolation five years ago sick of waiting for the occurrence.
)
He picked it beautifully.....just got his timing wrong.
Now though, I think it could be cybersecurity facilitated by some form of personal digital concierge.
Identity theft and the myriad ways it is conceived is a growing problem potentially affecting millions of us and is in desperate need of a viable solution.
Apparently our unique Akida tech can be useful in this regard and a low cost, easily implemented, reliable and adaptable countermeasure incorporated at both the server level and where we reside, at the edge, may be a product that could gain wide exposure and acceptance.
And in the doing, make us all filthy rich.
Good luck to us all and let's hope 2024 is the year of Akida and BrainChip.
