On today’s episode, Horace and Oliver dig deep into the evolution ofbusiness models in transport, and how micromobility lays the foundation forthe next great shift of interoperable, efficient, low-cost transportservices powered by blockchain. I think we just hit peak hype words, butbear with us!*We cover:*- How the car was the first great bundling of transport ‘jobs-to-be-done’into a single option — kickstarting the first major productization oftransport.- The emergence of Uber, and the shift of trips from pre-paid product toservice.- The dynamics of vehicle fleets, and why scooter/e-bike fleets are likelyto move off-balance sheet for most large operators in the near future.- How multimodality, especially that underpinned by micromobility, lendsitself to open transport systems, and how this will give rise to tokenmarketplaces for trips (similar to Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn’s tradenetproposal ).- The impact that decentralized token marketplaces will have on cities.It’s a conceptually dense episode as we explore theProductization-Servitization-Securitization-Tokenization (Pro-Se-Sec-ToFramework?).
