this is a brilliant observation... the rise of the analog economy as a counter-movement to hyper-digitization is a powerful trend.

I have a box of about 100 records from the 80s... Original Ozzy, Metallica, Iron Maiden... and even old Black Sabbath and Zeppelin... before I moved to Mexico, I almost sold them for $5 each and I looked a couple up on ebay and some of them were trading for $500 each. Crazy stuff.

That’s right. My son is buying at $20-$40 dollars per vinyl. I told him to look into Facebook marketplace and he found a guy selling them for $2 dollars each. I told him, this might be a good business 🤣

Fantastic article, thank you Juan! Where do you see the future of AI in relation to The Analog Economy? I definitely see a future where the two can thrive together. 🙏

Thank you! I see it the same way Sam. Not aa opposites, but as complementary forces. AI will keep handling scale, speed, and efficiency, while the Analog Economy will remind us where value still needs a human touch. The real opportunity is in the intersection: using AI to remove friction where it hurts and re-introduce it where it adds meaning.
