  This really is a bunch of cool people were living in society. Everything was fine but Nerds weren't allowed to be part of cool stuff. Then they made the Internet, AOL, Myspace, ig, fb, snap, twit, yt. And people believed Nerd stuff was cool . Comics are cool. Digital comics suck. VHS are cool. Netflix sucks CD in a car & LPs in a room cool. Spotify sucks. Social at a coffee shop in 90s cool. Starbucks sucks. Bookstores have babes. Amazon does not. Disney stayed Disney and held the line. The rest fell into digital dust. Meet a friend for coffee. Ask a girl to be somewhere at sometime and see if she shows. That's the intro. Don't text her. Write her a letter if you miss her. Get back to the Basics. I did and my life is far better away from the chaos of chasing the World.

  @JuicySteen there was a strong appetite by some at AOL Time Warner to get them off the air despite being their highest rated show. It would have depended on if they were able to hang on until Spike opened up.

  @DerrickEvans4WV Can we just go back to AOL and dial up internet? Do we really need everything connected to everything…? I don’t think so. Let’s cancel this AI stuff.

  @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.

  @theamelia___ 19, I never bothered with AOL except to use the free discs as coasters.
