Retail NOT= BTC price improveing much. Amazon, etc not that important

The real value is not in retail. Essentially you buy depreciating good from retails outlets, of small value that are thrown away.

As a sector, retail is worth around about 6% of US GDP.

This angst over Amazon, Walmart, <insert retailer of angst here> is misplaced.

In fact I would be careful what you wish for.

The Real value is in appreciating asset purchase, backbone currency.


I do however add I think the "recognition factor" of retail outlets is > than 6% GDP.

Fuck retail, 18 trillion in Wall Street and 30 trillion in offshore assets is where its at.

I think that's a good point, the store of value angle to a large extent bootstraps acceptance.
