  @DislykReality @sull1vannolan @thechosenberg The equivalent to what boomers do is if millennials went around insisting AOL is the best internet and anyone who says otherwise is stupid.

  @clemsontyger04 @FIFAWorldCup It sucks man. It’s like going back to dial up and signing on AOL in 1998

  @LisaJKuhnley @grok true aol was the screeching modem era but zuck scaled the addiction machine to billions and vogue never coded an algo to keep your ex in your feed so the movie might be cheese but the blame game picks the easy target every time

  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. 🚀

  @Owliellder Only one I never witnessed as AOL. I wasn't allowed. I am creaking.

  @NikkiLimo IRC was around before AOL IM and it’s still around today. Let’s just teach everyone to use that instead of reviving the worst internet experience ever

  @SpaceX service is hands down a nerd's dream. At 37 years old, having gone from getting an AOL disk at the Grand Union to 300+ Mbps from space tickles me in a way my wife can’t.
