Do you think the world can change? I think we have to; sometimes it's slow, taking generations..and sometimes an innovation or event throws that out and things move way more rapidly than we are able to contemplate or handle.
Last week I used this famous image for my newsletter
Here's the same menorah and the context has completely changed:
Unbelievable
I don't know if the Hebrew in this image needs translating, it all kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
We have to understand our history to synthesize the present and create the future.
So, how was 2022?
Can't say it better than Kyla Scanlon , it was really weird:

Rex Salisbury makes some fintech predictions for next year:
And what about the markets broadly?
Of course, it's impossible to predict what will happen when there is always levels of uncertainty. We're just doing the best we can with the information at hand; the key is to be less blind over time. And it doesn't mean we should stop thinking about what is possible, what we would like to see happen...that's why we strive and pursue and grow. Impact happens in the real world; if you want to change something, internal or external, the push has to come from within.
All the best to you and your families as the year ends. May next year be better than the last.
