  @Wajson_Crack I was using Netscape back in those days. Netscape is a browser- like Duck or Brave or FoxFire- Big competition back then to be the Browser king between netscape and ms internet explorer, then AOL stepped in and acquired netscape as their own in their platform. The 80's was the mad rush to claim the Everests of tech. I was in IT back then- even did the in person lecture series for certifications for MS. GIANT 4-5 inch wide binders of microsoft crap -carried with you into hours upon hours of MS lectures. LOL

  @hthieblot In the 90s there were no websites or apps, only Usenet, and then AOL came along with its intranet where you could chat, with access to a few dozen early internet sites, which you never used because AOL chat was the killer application at the time.

  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.

  @BeaconTerraOne @huskyXBT And if you put $1000 in AOL, you'd be **** out of luck. There have been many more AOL's than Apples.

  @kmcnam1 This is what email services such as @AOL should offer when all you get is spam nowadays that you never bother to read.

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.
