  @Ripplesinwales They have no choice — adapt or get left behind. What we’re really watching is the same shift that hit the stock market in the late 90s. I jumped on E*TRADE right around the time AOL went mainstream in 1998. That was the moment the “do-it-yourself” crowd said forget the middleman (stock brokers) and moved to online trading. The ones who understood cut out the middle and kept more of the profit. The ones who didn’t just stayed with the old system. The exact same divide is unfolding again right now on the banking side — bank custody vs self-custody.

  @AshleyInMKE I was born in the 70s and never had an AOL account because my first email was from my college and when I got out Hotmail and Yahoo were the bigger players. And while I've slept in waterbeds a few times, I always hated them and got terrible sleep.

  Ma Huateng shopped Tencent to buyers in 1999 and nobody wanted it. Jack Ma had already been turned down for 30 jobs, one of them at a KFC. The Chinese television archives from that stretch catch both men before anyone had a reason to listen. Studio chairs, no product the audience recognized, no reason for the segment to exist. Jack Ma's first time on camera was not even an interview. A crew found him at night, still sitting on his bicycle, in the middle of something he had not planned to be filmed doing. He had put 7,000 yuan of savings and a family loan into China Yellow Pages, selling web pages in a country that was barely online. Hangzhou Telecom set up a competitor and pushed him out inside 2 years. Ma Huateng started Tencent in Shenzhen in November 1998 with 4 partners. OICQ crossed 1,000,000 users in its first year and earned nothing, while the server bills kept coming. So he went looking for an exit. He approached Sohu. He approached Yahoo China. Both passed. IDG and a fund run by Li Ka-shing's son each took 20% for $1,100,000, which valued the company at about $11,000,000. Then AOL won a trademark case and OICQ became QQ. In May 2001 a South African media group bought 46.5% for $32,000,000. That stake later passed $175,000,000,000, the best venture bet ever placed. Jack Ma started Alibaba in April 1999 in his apartment with 18 people and 500,000 yuan, ran the biggest IPO in history in 2014, attacked China's financial regulators onstage in October 2020, and vanished from public view for 3 months. One could not sell his company. The other could not get hired.

  🇬🇷 Three people were killed when a private helicopter crashed on the Greek island of Sifnos (Cyclades) shortly after 6 p.m. local time on Monday, Aug. 17, per the Greek fire brigade (via Reuters). The aircraft went down in the Tholos neighborhood near homes and burst into flames, sparking a brush fire that crews brought under control. The dead are the pilot and two passengers. According to unconfirmed local reports, those on board were a newly-married British couple and the Greek pilot; the helicopter had reportedly taken off from a helipad in eastern Attica bound for Sifnos and crashed shortly after departure. Authorities have not officially confirmed the victims' identities. One correction: early reports of six dead were incorrect — the confirmed toll is three. The cause is unknown and under investigation by Greek aviation authorities. It has not been established that a loss of control caused the crash, so early explanations should be treated with caution.
