I really hope they both implode.

The blitzscaling strategy might in fact work but it would effectively be an end to democracy. We would basically have a marketplace of ALL monopolies.

It just doesn't scale.

Blitzscaling doesn't let you produce monopolies unless you have someone constantly bankrolling the beating down of competitors. As soon as Uber runs out of other people's money then the issue stops. The fact that Lyft exists shows that they can't monopolize.
