Bubble? say “natural selection, stupid”
by Gil Rosen

Deadpool, fuckedcompany, bubble bubble bubble…say “natural selection, stupid”
That sums up what I have to say about all this deadpool mania. This start up is closing, the other one is cutting down, the third is cutting costs….”oh my god, the burst is imminent”.

My theory is that if everyone is raising money, hiring, launching successful ventures, making money, listing on the NASDAQ, showing double digit CAGR year after year….Then we are in La La land and the end is probably near.

However, when unsuccessful ventures close down, cut costs or simply loose to a better competitors - that is what I call natural selection. Using Wikipedia, it sounds like this:

“the process by which individual organisms [replace with: companies ] with favorable traits [replace with: features/ service / community] are more likely to survive and reproduce [replace with: spin off / grow / make money/get bought by Google ] than those with unfavorable traits [ replace with: bad execution / unlucky].

Natural selection is healthy. It makes sure that players that are there in the long run are the better ones. It makes sure that the ones that have been around make adjustments to the everchanging enviroment and not sell you the same thing over and over.

So say thank you to all those ‘deadpools’, they made the ones who are still around probably a notch better.
