The Data Flywheel
The most important concept: Properties are becoming computers.
Physical infrastructure (DePIN) generates data → Data feeds AI models → AI drives automated actions → Automation creates value → Value funds more infrastructure.
More properties → More data → Better models → Higher yields → More properties
