Yes we definitely don’t want one corp owning this entire type of tech.

I think some kind of cultured meat is “obvious” at this point in history.

I don’t think this company would be able to maintain its monopoly as other companies develop their own processes. Maybe some vegans will open source the basics or something.

I doubt the legal system would allow one company to control this market, and tech being the barrier won’t do it either, so I don’t predict a monopoly for long on this kind of thing.

Yeah, it will be like two-three, owned by the same shareholders on the stock market.

Or as many choose to enter the market, unless you think there will be some artificial constraint placed on entry?

And since all shares are actually owned by the DTCC, they are the actual masters manipulating the stock as needed to enrich themselves. We'll get cultured meat at their grace when it's profitable for them.
