  @LibertyPDX1 Data Centers have been around for a long time... The commercial internet & World Wide Web created demand for always-on servers & interconnection. Early internet exchange points such as MAE-East in Northern Virginia (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), established in 1992, was the first non-governmental Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the United States. It served as a physical meeting point where early commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) could interconnect & exchange traffic directly rather than routing everything through distant or government-controlled networks. This peering model reduced costs & latency & became a foundational piece of the commercial Internet. America Online’s presence in the region, plus cheap land near Dulles Airport, available fiber & proximity to Washington, D.C. & DARPA (which had funded ARPANET), made Loudoun County/Ashburn attractive. Equinix, founded in 1998, built one of the region’s first dedicated commercial data centers to serve AOL & others, pioneering the colocation model. Companies rented space, power, cooling & connectivity instead of building their own facilities. Similar “carrier hotels” & interconnection hubs emerged in cities such as New York & Los Angeles. The late-1990s dot-com boom accelerated construction of larger purpose-built facilities. The subsequent bust left unused space that later operators filled.

  @MorlockP Blue collar business is fascinating to me because it's relatively simple (not easy, the work is hard) to succeed in it. Yet so many become broke or never make it. Then you see why. AOL email addresses, people who don't show up on time, never returning sales lead calls. Etc.

  @getwhatugive @LynAldenContact You’re collapsing the product and the protocol. BlackRock/MSTR make money if demand for bitcoin rises. Demand rises when access gets easier: brokerage accounts, 401ks, treasuries, Lightning, hardware wallets. Shrinking the buyer pool would hurt their bags. That’s the opposite incentive of “reduce access.” Early internet had AOL too. Walled gardens expanded the user base first. The open network still won because the protocol wasn’t owned by AOL.Same here. An ETF is not a modem ban. Anyone can still run a node, hold keys, and send sats. Institutions can offer a wrapper. They cannot revoke the chain. “Gemini agrees” is not an argument. The music-sharing analogy also fails: Napster was illegal and centralized. Bitcoin settles on a public ledger. You don’t sterilize that by listing a ticker.

  @thenarr47271717 @Bit_Faced @theswansjr Your analogy is a bit off Current Bitcoin is not 'The Internet' but more akin to the walled garden of America Online capable of serving only a select few... AOL was consumed by the wider permissionless network that served everybody... If BTC can only serve the masses via custodians it will be no different than a CBDC => It will be outcompeted by a freer money

  If you ever find yourself scrolling X and feeling like there’s too much happening and you’re falling behind on __________ thing, zoom out and realize by even being here and a part of the conversation you’re already light years ahead of 99% of the population w/ respect to the AI renaissance we’re currently living through. We’re still so early. It’s like the days when AOL used to mail you a CD ROM to onboard you onto dial up internet - we’re there. Spending the weekend with old friends in Austin, none of whom are in tech/SaaS or marketing. They’re doctors, actors/producers, teachers, civil engineers, carpenters, etc…and most of what we talk about on this app is totally alien to them. Which is totally fine. I’m hanging with the $20/mo Claude plan crowd. Their X feed is completely different. While I get a crazy amount of knowledge from this site it comes with decent bit of anxiety as well. There’s a shitload of noise to find the actual signal. That’s the apparent trade off — a sense of impending doom and feeling like if I don’t immediately test this platform/load this skill/build this workflow/try this model, etc…in exchange for what a never ending stream of knowledge from some genuinely brilliant people.

  My dad replied to news about my girlfriend with a green check mark. Honestly, appropriate. Our generation only writes well over text because we had to get good at it to date. AOL Instant Messenger, then years of practice with the stakes turned all the way up. His generation never needed the skill, so they never built it. The thumbs up isn't him being short with you. It's the whole sentence.
