Next 10 years in FinTech.

The Fintech tsunami is happening, and there is no way back.

Long thread 🧵👇🏼

 1) In 2030, the largest “bank” in the world will not-be-a-bank.🏦 Think- Square, Stripe, Affirm, AntFin, PayPal, etc. Many large asset categories are still untouched by Fintechs, and once that starts to happen, several new ~$100BN - $500BN 💰 companies will be created.
2) Major economies will have low or no-Cash 💵; primarily due to ‘digitization-of everything’, and CBDC. Major central banks will transition to a digital currency paradigm, where national currencies will compete on features (like software does) as well as economics.
3) Credit Bureaus will become redundant. The 'spending-to-income-habits' indicator will overtake credit score. In the new decade: How responsibly one spends the money will become a stronger indicator of creditworthiness than all bureau data scores.
4) Algorithms— built into MoneyOS — will automatically refinance debt to the lowest possible rate, triggering massive compression in profit pools for banks. These “Systems of Intelligence” companies will create massive value.
5) The onset of Collaborative-AI will blur the line between deposits and lending, and ‘cash-flow-as-a-service’ will be a reality - resulting in ‘the death-of-deposits’, and growth of newer asset classes/investment vehicles. Deposit accounts will no longer be the locus of control.
6) Personalisation and automation will explode. The era of a customer making decisions about their money is behind us. 'Autonomous finance' reimagines the whole idea of financial services delivery by integrating technology at the heart of each system.
7) Fintechs will be portable and interoperable: Like mobile phones, customers will be able to easily transition between ‘carriers’. Basic financial products will become a commodity. FinTech will centralize into a few places and steer on ‘autopilot’.
8) Banks will become invisible and move to the background and centralize into one place where our money is managed for us. Large fintech enabled marketplaces- curated with thousands of apps and APIs- will emerge.
9) Data will become openly portable and will not be a competitive moat for Fintechs. Basic financial services will become simple open-source protocols, lowering the barrier for any company to offer financial products to its customers.
10) Fintech will become part of the basic functionality of non-finance products. Embedded finance is the next stage in the evolution of fintech. The hierarchy of unbundling that we observe in Asia will be replicated in ecosystems around the world.
11) Financial services will fragment further. Also, the demarcation between spending, borrowing, and wealth management will break down as one service-based offering manages the flow of customers’ money across multiple accounts.
12) Regulatory landscape will change. With a fast-growing industry comes a constantly evolving regulatory regime. Regulators around the world are playing catch up and trying to provide the necessary regulation needed to balance the interests of businesses and consumers.
13) More collaboration and consolidation– from all angles. For the last decade or so, FinTech companies have grown, disrupted, and moved at an exponential rate. This has forced traditional incumbent firms to adjust, rethink their business models, and embrace digital innovations.
14) MoneyOS: In 5-10 years people will control their financial lives in one place. The FinTech market, born as a disruptor, is beginning to mature and enter into a period of rapid “re-bundling”. The second-order effect is multifactorial by nature.
15) Expanding scope and diversity: The scope of products and services that FinTech firms offer will expand rapidly. These new offerings might span right across the spectrum of financial services, tokens, loyalty, digital assets, investment banking, insurance, retail, and wealth.
16) The dominance of the legacy banks will continue to be eroded. Moats in banking are dead. Consumers will continue to shift away from legacy banks towards newer service providers.
17) Death of manual underwriting. AI systems will eventually underwrite credit and insurance across the world. Future product experiences will be centered around AI, which automates most of the customers’ financial lives and improves their financial outcomes.
18) AI + Blockchain: The ‘ultimate’ future - will enable complex & automated smart contracts to be executed, allowing more use-cases to enter the mainstream. e.g. AI-Marketplaces, Crowdsourced Predictive Models for Hedge Funds, Collective AI Investment Management Platforms.
19) True emergence of Fintech Cloud and Infrastructure (BaaS/IaaS). AI will become a standard feature in applications, not a novelty. Technology is reshaping the operating-model of FIs. A clear vision of the future financial landscape is critical for good governance.
20) The eternal cycle of unbundling and rebundling will create new operating models + new future scenarios: Trust as an API, Tokenized Illiquid assets, Online platforms as debt warehouses, API economy, Bank-as-lifescript, FinTech as Asset Network, etc.
21) New blockchain payments and identity systems will become mainstream turning money into pure bits thereby allowing software developers to creatively design new services around money the way they have done with photos and text.
22) The Future is Decentralized. Several DeFI projects will gather significant momentum and scale. DeFi is on a path to create an alternative financial system. Non-custodial protocols give users full control over their assets.
23) All hail the new king!- Bitcoin: As more dollars💵 are printed, large public companies and FIs will add Bitcoin to their balance sheet. Major companies- with cash reserves - will start building Bitcoin “New Gold”🪙 reserves- to protect assets and build wealth. #BTC
24) A new financial system powered by Bitcoin will emerge. Bitcoin marks the end of fiat and the beginning of a new monetary standard.
We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.

The new decade will be the golden-age of Fintech. Exciting times ahead!

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll help you work out how much money you need to retire.

2/

The goal is simple.

You want to accumulate a *large* portfolio of assets.

How large?

Well, you should be able to quit your job. And you and your family should be able to live comfortably for decades -- just off of the income generated by this portfolio.

3/

This is the crux of the "FIRE" movement.

FIRE stands for "Financially Independent, Retired Early".

The basic philosophy is: keep your spending needs low. Save a large portion of your income. Invest these savings. With luck, you'll be able to retire early.

4/

FIRE advocates have a rule they love to cite: the 4% rule.

The 4% rule says: your annual expenses in retirement should not exceed 4% of your portfolio.

You can use this rule to calculate how large a portfolio you need to accumulate before you can quit your job and retire.


5/

For example, suppose you and your family need $40K/year to live comfortably in retirement.

Then you need to accumulate a portfolio that's at least $1M.

Another way to say this is: your portfolio should be at least 25 times your annual expenses in retirement.

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, we'll cover *State Quantities* and *Flow Quantities*.

This mental model can help us analyze many different entities -- from complex engineering systems to publicly traded companies.


2/

A "State Quantity" is something that's associated with a *specific point in time*.

For example, the number of followers a Twitter account has is a state quantity. This number can go up and down over time. But at any one *specific* time point, it's fixed.

3/

Similarly, the amount of cash a company has is a state quantity.

This cash balance can also rise and fall over time.

But pick any one *specific* time point -- and the company can only have one *specific* cash balance at that time point.

4/

By contrast, a "Flow Quantity" is something that's associated with a time *interval* rather than a time *point*.

For example, the number of followers gained by a Twitter account is a flow quantity. It's meaningful only when we specify a time interval (eg, the last 30 days).

5/

A simple analogy is that a State Quantity is like a photo -- a snapshot at a particular *point* in time.

But a Flow Quantity is like a video -- a record of events that take place during a particular time *interval*.

The British Railway Mania

How a disruptive technology created the biggest speculative bubble in the history of England

/THREAD/


1/ Railways were the most disruptive technology of the 19th century, known as the "railway age", transforming England from an agricultural to an industrialized nation.

2/ The development of railway infrastructure and locomotives started at the end of the 18th century but experienced immense growth after 1830.


3/ Hundreds of railway related bills were passed every year with proposed rails totaling 10,000 miles, a third of which was never built due to poor financial planning, competition, or fraud.

4/ In the mid-1840s, the Bank of England cut interest rates rendering government bonds unattractive, and investors more willing to rush in the railway investments.

A 🧵on the basics of block and bulk deals.

Block and bulk deals are large purchases of stocks by investment banks, mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, FIIs, and promoters. Tracking block and bulk deals can help give you a sense of what these large players are thinking.

A single transaction where shares more than Rs 10 crores or the number of shares traded are more than 5 lakh is considered a block deal.

Block deals are carried out in separate trading windows. This trading window operates in two shifts of 15 minutes each:

Morning trading window from 8:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Afternoon trading window from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM

Block deals happen in different windows to reduce volatility and sudden price movements. Given that they are traded in a separate window, they do not show up on the volume charts.

Brokers facilitating the transaction are required to inform the exchange. You can track bulk and block deals on NSE & BSE:

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.


She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.


It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

1/ Productivity tip: when I keep procrastinating on something I often trick myself by saying, "ok just work on it for the next 20 minutes" or some short period of time, "and then you can chill/relax guilt free" and give myself some treat (sugar, netflix, etc)

2/ Usually at the 20 minute mark (sometimes I set a timer) I'm so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't want want to stop and end up working on it for the next hour or two. But getting started seems to be the hardest part.

3/ Key to this: you have to actually be ok with stopping after 20 minutes and being guilt free if that's how you feel. So it's not a trick, i have the option every time, I just often don't want to use it once i'm in the zone.

Demystifying Ghazwa-e-Hind. A #thread.

A recent video of Shoaid Akhter surfaced in social media creating a lot of controversy where the #Pakistani Cricketer can be seen suggesting invasion of India by using the term Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Radicalization of sportsmen seen off late
(1/10)


Some radical Islamic preachers believes that Ghazwa-e-Hind means a “Holy War against India”. As per this irrational & profane concept, there will be a fierce battle to secure victory over #India.
#Kashmir
(2/10)


#Pakistan-based terror groups, like JeM have been using Ghazwa-e-Hind as a Hadith to recruit, fund and justify its terror strikes as a religious holy war against #India.
#Kashmir
(3/10)


Some machiavellian people claim it is a prophecy that Muslim warriors will wage war against the #India.
Jaish & others falsely propagate that Jihad against India is considered holy in Islam & that those participating in it will be granted an easy entry into paradise.
(4/10)


However prolific scholars says that this is a made-up interpretation of some verse in The Holy Quran to mislead the gullible youth of #Pakistan into picking up arms and fighting its Army's personal battle against #India.

Ok, here is a thread for you.
What happens when you have:
Netflix
Apple
Amazon
WarnerMedia +
Disney+
SonyCrackle (Reboot)
Verizon All Access (after they buy CBS/Viacom)
UniversalSkyMedia
By 2021
Answer? Internet Slows To A Craw and Dies.
Why?
Bandwidth.

Netflix's gets 35% of all internet traffic.
Now we all know Apple Coming to Netflix Corner.
We know that WarnerMedia Planning One
We Know about Disney+
Now how will the net handle 8 Streaming Platforms all at once?
Answer - IT CANT.

But Novid, the speed, the 4K the all everything?
NOOOOO BUDDY.
Even if you could do it and even if AWS ran six million clouds, The Net Will still slow to a crawl. 35%, goes to nearly 90% if any of the 8 or all of the 8 eat at netflix's numbers.

Oh, they wouldn't be running at once.
FOOL. You forget how bad things were when game of thrones season premieres came around. HBO SERVERS FALL DOWN GO BOOM!

Now see if a season like 2021 come around and they air shows on a same day. It gets crazy. AT&T and others gonna realize they cant build out forever. Something will give and it might be your entertainment consumption big time.
