Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m thankful to see that Covid seems to be trending in the right direction this time, and I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that we can get businesses opened up again before it’s too late. If you have any suggestions for topics or guests though, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges.
I’m not going to get much into politics this week. Personally I’m just happy that things seem to be getting quieter on that front again. Maybe the Capitol Riot was actually a wake-up call that made people realize what we don’t want in this country. Here’s to finding a way that we can come together, hopefully behind a unified Unity 2024, now that we have time to do the concept justice. As for other things this week, I have to at least mention my fascination with Redditors breaking the financial markets. They’ve taken Gamestop, and Dogecoin skyrocketing, and it’s looking like they’re trying to do the same with AMC and a handful of others as well. I would love to see the internet save Gamestop and AMC, all while making some money for themselves and forcing Wall Street shorters to lose. Seems a little poetic that the little guys are starting to learn that we can make some noise and remind the 1% that we all deserve a little consideration as well. Personally, I totally miss going to theaters, but I don’t know if they’re going to come back in full force. Ready Player One level virtual reality could theoretically be coming for real this decade, and that would bring a personal theater to everyone’s headset. It seems inevitable that streaming is the future, but maybe AMC can have a big bang of a decade until we get there. Maybe with all this backing they can actually find a way to pivot into the new virtual market during that decade too, who knows. As for Dogecoin, I would love to see it hit a dollar this year, but I don’t know how likely that is. Doge has a ton of internet support, and the blockchain is based on the same foundation that underlies Litecoin. I’ll be holding mine and seeing what the future brings. And with regulation changes coming this year, I’m definitely starting to sniff around cannabis stocks again to find which companies might actually gain traction through quality and not quantity.
That actually segues nicely into this week’s interview, Adam Bush, one of the owners of Archive here in Portland. Archive is one of the brands that has made quality over quantity a priority. While their quantity is not lacking either, their focus on good genetics and breeding quality has made them a sought after brand all over the state of Oregon. Archive’s flagship shop here in Portland is now a destination for cannabis enthusiasts from all over. Adam’s enthusiasm is contagious, even when talking about some of the other amazing hash rosin makers in the state. He has a passion for cannabis and a humble attitude that has brought him a long way thus far. I want to thank him for coming onto the exchange and sharing a great conversation with me.
