The real insight is that the S-curve is not just a technology adoption curve — it's also a valuation curve. The multiples that investors are willing to pay expand dramatically as a technology moves from the early adopters to the early majority, and then compress just as dramatically as growth slows and the technology matures.

the more open you can be to be completely devastated by something, the more possibility opens up to you. And I think that that's true in life. I think that's true in love. I know that that's true in sport. The more you open yourself up to devastation, the more possibility will be open to you.
