  @AOL It is a terrible lyric to put on a school book. If she didn't do it or approve it the woman is innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps the investigation should be on how it got there and who put it there in her name. I hope her lawyer is worth his salt.

  @martinezjoke220 1998 internet was dial-up and AOL. 2025 crypto is 51% attacks and regulatory roulette. Wild west? More like a bad neighborhood.

  @PBDsPodcast The crazy part is that he’s still too young to really remember what it was like. I’ll never forget AOL chatrooms and social media before the great meme war of 2016. Everything changed after that. The internet is so lame now.

  Bitcoin - it’s not a pretty picture right now. It’s been in a massive sell off since October of last year. It does have dynamic support at that red line, which is the 200 simple moving average. I would expect some sort of bounce there, but there is no “has to” in the markets and it can certainly go lower, even much lower.  My problem with bitcoin is its usability. I’ve never used bitcoin to buy anything and very few places accept bitcoin as payment. And when an asset class can move that quickly, it is certainly not a store of value, at least not yet. So when people say it’s digital Gold, I just don’t know, I don’t see it yet. Until I can actually use it, I can’t get excited about it. There is value to the technology I know that for sure but I’m not educated enough in crypto to know exactly what that is. The market will tell me when it’s time to buy crypto. Crypto reminds me of the .COM error of 2000, you could see the future, but you knew it was a while away from being practical. Most of the names that were all hyped up are no longer around like AOL or Infoseek or Netscape. With the .COM crash Amazon went to a dollar a share. OMG imagine where you would be right now if you bought Amazon at a dollar a share. We may be approaching a similar situation in bitcoin, I’m just not sure where this asset class bottoms. Don’t forget with the Internet, we were all hyped up about it in 1995 when it was just coming out, but it wasn’t until 2000 when all the mania started happening in the internet stocks which led to the eventual stock market crash of 2000.  Disclaimer: this is not professional, financial advice, it’s just my opinion.

  @firstadopter The deal makes total sense to me. Arbitrageurs putting deal likelihood above 50% of going through. Can only make sense to compare to AOL X Time Warner if you think one of FOX or Roku has a bad destiny coming. FOX pays about 6% interest on debt.

  When the Internet first appeared, many people thought AOL was the Internet. Later, people discovered the Internet was still there. AOL wasn't. Then came a time when people thought Yahoo was the Internet. After that Google was the Internet. Then Facebook was the Internet. And now AI companies are becoming the new center of attention.The Internet itself never disappeared. The center of gravity simply kept changing.

  Marc Andreessen on the exact moment the Internet changed forever: "There are two Internets," Marc explains. "There's the Internet that existed before 1993 and the Internet that existed after 1993." Before 1993, the Internet was funded by the National Science Foundation as an academic and research network. Commercial activity was strictly prohibited under what was called the acceptable use policy. The result was something the people who lived through it still describe in utopian terms. @pmarca describes it like this: "People who were on the Internet before 1993 often describe it in utopian terms because it literally was like you take the whatever million smartest people in the world and you put them on a network together with like no commercial activity, no advertising, no nothing, just the million smartest people in the world. And you just like let them talk to each other. And it's just like amazing." He singles out Usenet, the old messaging system, as the centerpiece of that world: "The discussions on Usenet were just like absolutely spectacular… It was like the most pure, clean intellectual, like vibrant space sense, like, I don't know, Athens in 500 BC. It was just like this amazing phenomenon." Then AOL connected. In September 1993, AOL plugged its million or two million subscribers. Normal people into the Internet for the first time. That moment got a name: eternal September. It was the day the Internet stopped being an ivory tower and became a mainstream consumer thing. The "eternal" part is its own joke. Marc explains: "Concept of eternal September literally was, it was like when every new wave of college graduates graduated and got their first job and then went online. So September is when the new crop of Internet users showed up… So the September effect didn't just happen once. It like happened over and over and over and over and over again. And every cycle of Internet user would basically be like, oh my God, this is great. But like, it's all going to get ruined in September." The Internet we live in today is the result of roughly 30 of those Septembers stacked on top of each other. Marc is careful to say he's pro that shift. He was on the side of opening it up, allowing commerce, allowing advertising, connecting everyone. But he doesn't pretend the trade-off wasn't real. You can't take a network of the smartest million people on earth, connect it to everyone, and expect the texture of the conversation to survive. The lesson sits underneath the story. Every great network has a pre-commercial phase that the early users remember as paradise, and a post-commercial phase that actually changes the world. Both are real. You don't get the second without giving up the first.
