What?! Two days in a row? Oh we're grinding now.
So these are some fun news stories this week that are based on the things I care about. This week beer, funko pops and getting paid in new ways by the internet.
I like craft beer.
This home brewer had a crazy great kickstarter and is about to go to market with products shipping in January. As near as I can tell, the recipes are shared worldwide, you do everything in this one contraption and then in 4 weeks, BEER!! Check it out.
The Good, the bad, the ridiculously cute big headed pops
Funko is going public and is hoping to bring in about $240 million bucks, that's the good. The bad, they got about $319 million in debt, which is roughly 75% of last year's revenue and they only did about 6% profit on that $426 million dollars in revenue, ouch. The last one is obvious.
Cha-Ching!
This is kind of a high-concept and it feels a little bit like self-betting, like if you could pick yourself on Draft Kings. Everytime you are active daily you get entered into pools and than you get paid for winning said pools. How this all works is kind of anyone's guess, I see the need for company sponsorship, and corporate patronage to make this really work, but it's a neat idea. It would be cooler if you and your friends could make small daily bets or maybe an annual bet and than percentage pie it out like who won more daily contests and activities, and let each person pick the event or contest for that micro time period and than everyone splits the winnings accordingly by the pie. Just a thought.
