Why Stacked?

Something surprising happens when world-changing technologies appear.

On February 27th, 1995, a reporter for Newsweek wrote: “The truth is that no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher, and no computer network will change the way government works.”

Sure, we all agree now that innovations like the wheel, the electric lightbulb, the personal computer, and the Internet had revolutionary effects on people’s lives. But in their very earliest days, all of them had serious drawbacks (in the case of the wheel, that’s an assumption we’re making).

Even the most ground-breaking of tools must contend with teething problems: lightbulbs used to burn out within hours, computers once filled a room, early web pages loaded at a crawl.

The world, seeing all these limitations, scoffed. “This will never catch on,” they said. “It stinks. My gas lamps last forever and they never go all black inside.”

Even those closely involved with emerging technologies sometimes doubt their success. Think of Ken Olsen, founder of once-mighty Digital Equipment Corporation, who said in 1977: “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”

If you’ve been reading about the crypto space in the past few years, you’ll have heard opinions just like this one. The same kinds of people who dismissed the printing press, the lightbulb, and the steam engine as newfangled nonsense have branded crypto a lot of hype.

And while we don’t agree with that assessment, we can see the reasons driving skepticism. While crypto promises to have as dramatic an impact as the internet on the way we live, communicate, and invest, up until now it has been hard to understand, difficult to use, and accessible only to a small cadre.

And that, Dear Reader, is exactly why we created Stacked.

The awkward phase of major innovations doesn’t last forever. After the earliest innovators lay the groundwork for a new technological paradigm, the next stage of development focuses on making these tools usable.

That’s what Stacked is all about: Making crypto investing so simple that everyone can benefit from its transformative opportunities.
