Reading guide

Beginning with “Today, five years later,” Robin notes the rapid rise of Web3 and the metaverse, then lists earlier investment keywords: ESG in 2021, and electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, vaccines, and biotechnology before 2020–2021. Innovation and investing, he says, ensure that he always has something new to learn. This is a brief personal record looking back at trend keywords from 2020 to 2022, not a prediction or investment advice.
