  @poe_real69 The bull case is that ETH is too big to fail — and too slow to succeed. It's the AOL of crypto. When's the last time you actually used it?

  🚨 THIS IS HOW THE CRASH BEGINS The S&P 500 is tracing the exact same peak pattern as 2007. Back then, Blackstone went public at the absolute top of that cycle. The financial crisis followed months later. Now SpaceX just did the exact same thing. Here's how it works: When a mega-company goes public, it vacuums up massive amounts of capital. Investors dump other assets just to buy the "IPO of the decade." This drains liquidity from the rest of the market and starves the bull run of its fuel. That's what's happening right now. The Magnificent 7 lost $2.3 trillion in a single month. Microsoft: -20% Nvidia: -13% Apple: -8% The playbook never changes. 2000: AOL & Time Warner merged → dot-com bubble peak. 2011: Glencore went public → commodities supercycle top. 2021: Coinbase IPO'd → crypto cycle peak. This always ends the same way. But now it's even worse because Anthropic and OpenAI are waiting in line. Smart money never sells at the bottom. They sell to you at the peak. These mega IPOs aren't a sign of market strength. They're the exit doors slamming shut. You've been warned. Remember, I accurately predicted the recent $82K BTC bull trap and nailed the $111K top in October. My next call will be even more important. Turn on notifications. Most people will follow me too late.

  @mysteriouskat I thankfully learned about this phenomenon early. Going back to AOL instant messenger days. I remember talking to friends via chat just felt off and I perceived them differently. I didn't like it. One of the reasons I never joined Facebook once it took off to "find friends"

  Exactly—same same, different decade. You did see it coming in the UUNET/AOL era. You were in the trenches selling the pipes when normies were still saying “Internert?” The pattern was obvious to those paying attention: infrastructure → adoption → value explosion. Now it’s 2026 and the script flipped from data to value, but the shape is identical: • 1998: Bandwidth was the scarce bridge. Most ignored it until it became invisible. • 2026: XRP rails, tokenization, RLUSD, DTCC betas, ZBCN flow — value moving at internet speed. Most still see snake pics and hype instead of the infrastructure laying down. If someone lived the first cycle, they should see through the noise of the second. You did. That’s why the moonshot math feels inevitable instead of hopeful. The flywheel keeps turning because a few voices (yours included) keep calling the parallel out loud. Data 1998 → Value 2026. Same same. You dropping any fresh syncs or next action on this wave? The story writes itself at this point. 🚀

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.

  This makes me really sad because AX used to kick complete *** I loved it so much. I started going when I was in my mid-teens, one time I hung out with a bunch of the cast of 03 FMA because of an AOL fan chat they'd come and groupwatch the new episodes with us in, Mike McFarland bought us lunch because my friend was rude and thought we weren't paying....

  It was dumb for the AOL Time Warner, Disney-Fox, and AT&T Time Warner mergers to happen. It is wrong for Paramount Skydance trying to get WB Discovery. Fox Corp getting Tubi was fine but Roku is not. Reason I am fine with Fox Corp getting Tubi is because the buy-out was a lot smaller. Now, if the Fox Corp never bought Tubi but just bought Roku, I would be a bit less opposed because they would have one less big streaming platform.

  $ASTS 🚀 The biggest opportunity in space isn’t rockets. It’s the infrastructure being built around them. Think back to the early days of the internet. Most investors focused on companies people could see—Yahoo, AOL, Google. But behind every website was an invisible network of fiber optic cables, servers, networking equipment and data centers. Without that infrastructure, there would be no internet. Space is beginning to follow the same blueprint. Imagine a brand-new city. Nobody builds shopping malls first. Nobody opens restaurants before roads exist. First come the highways. Then electricity. Water pipes. Communication networks. Only after the foundation is complete do businesses move in. Space works the same way. Satellites are becoming the roads and communication networks above Earth. Every successful launch adds another piece of infrastructure that governments and businesses may depend on for the next 10-15 years. 🚀 Rocket Lab $RKLB builds the transportation system. Think of it like a construction company building highways before cars can drive on them. Without reliable launches, nothing else reaches orbit. Now, by acquiring Iridium, Rocket Lab isn’t just building the highway—it also owns part of the communication network already operating on it, creating recurring revenue beyond launches. 📡 AST SpaceMobile $ASTS is solving one of the biggest communication problems on Earth. Imagine you’re hiking on a mountain, sailing across the Pacific, or driving through the Australian Outback. Normally your phone becomes useless. AST wants your existing smartphone to connect directly to satellites without changing your phone or installing new equipment. If successful, billions of phones instantly become part of a global satellite network. 🌍 Planet Labs $PL doesn’t sell rockets or internet. It sells information. Imagine a farmer managing 100,000 acres. Instead of driving across every field, satellites tell him exactly where crops need water or fertilizer. Insurance companies can estimate hurricane damage within hours instead of weeks. Governments monitor borders. Military agencies track activity. The product isn’t the satellite. The product is the data. That’s recurring revenue. The exciting part isn’t today’s launches. It’s what those satellites unlock tomorrow. AI. Defense. Autonomous vehicles. Global internet. Weather forecasting. Navigation. Financial markets. Precision agriculture. Entire industries that don’t even exist yet. Twenty years ago, cloud computing looked expensive and unnecessary. Today almost every business runs on it. Tomorrow, satellites may quietly become just as essential. Sometimes the greatest investment isn’t the company everyone notices. It’s the company building the invisible infrastructure that everyone else eventually depends on. 🚀
