You just called that person’s comment “nonsense” and lumped it in with a vague category of other supposedly nonsense comments. That’s not a useful contribution to the conversation.
If you don’t understand what they are proposing, ask a question. I know exactly what they’re talking about and I agree that decentralized services underpinning markets of local goods will play an increasingly important role in the economy.
Yes, they just need one feature which Amazon could never have in order to disrupt it. They also need feature/price parity.
I wonder if, to reach price parity, you would have to anti-sell as much as you sell. So people’s overall bills go down because they have less stuff but everything they have they really need.
The un-match-able feature could be personal attention from people in your local economy. That also increases the price so there would have to be excellent marketing to help keep your dollars in that economy: you’d get your beer from a local distributor, and they would also market other local products to you. This is extremely difficult to manage now, so part of the decentralized system would have to be helping make that easier.
Essentially, the killer feature is anti-McDonaldsificstion. McDonalds isn’t actually the best possible food in most people, but it is the best possible food you could sell most people and still channel the profits through one bank account.
Decentralized platforms, by not having that requirement, can offer something better.
I guess someone should produce the GPU I want “locally” as well? Or maybe my vaccines? It seems like you have a computer to post this (in which 0% of the parts are made “locally”) so maybe you should practice what you preach.
