  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. 🚀

  @ThatJohnJones Compuserve - there's a blast from the past! My first personal computing experience was a Viglen Genie circa 1990 My first personal internet connection was AOL - which I installed via a disc sent in the post Censorship was zero & the internet was amazing, if infuriatingly slow

  @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.

  @FOX13News Technology and computers have always led to fraud, the dark web has been around since the AOL days, unfortunately the govt keeps adding more technology to everything for the surveillance state, they will never stop it

  I was likening it to banning Usenet, BBS'es, forums, all of which I was on before 16 -- and AOL Instant Messenger which was invented after I was older -- but this is true too. Awful mistake. Though if it gets kids reading more again from boredom, that could be one silver lining.

  It’s true what they say that you care so much less ab **** in your 30’s than your 20’s bc 20’s Valerie would have bullied that pathetic little account into shutting down through pure shame until the only internet they felt safe using was a ******* AOL cd rom from 1996.

  And btw y’all aol IM for my friends and I was the coolest thing in middle school, then it faded. So by the time we were in HS literally no one cared or used it. Maybe casually in freshman year? Everyone just wanted to hang out in person instead which was way cooler. The by sr yr
