The Forever Green Stock Market Explained with Proteins
When you invest into the entire world stock market, there’s an assumption that we probably take for granted. We are saying to ourself, quietly, that on the long run it will go up, forever.
This may be true, this may be not. Will the pie grow, or stay the same size? I think that this assumption is true, resources are not limited and we can create value forever (or for a very, very, very long time).
I’ll use proteins to explain why the world stock market will grow unconditionally (except human extinction, planet collapse, alien invasion… ☺)
From the ground up
Literally, I’ll start from the soil. A spoon of dirt it’s not just dirt, it contains millions of bacteria and other living beings.
Each bacteria, contains millions of cells. Combined, each cell contains billions of DNA structures. In fact, there’s an almost infinite amount of DNA sequences inside that spoon.
Some of those sequences, are called genes. A gene is a DNA sequence that codes for a specific protein. One gene, one protein.
This means that there are billions and billions of proteins out there. And we know only just a tiny bit of them.
