nikka please. What is so impractical and unviable about Yahoo/AOL/AskJeeves's search engine vs Google's for the latter to be one of the most valuable companies in the world? It was a search engine just like the rest of them prior to them acquiring enough to become Skynet. Microsoft pushed a monopoly while making lower quality OS than their competition. Other social media platforms have gotten traction before FB inevitably crushes/aquires the smaller startups.

Nothing was wrong with the technology or the speculation around the innovations. The failing of a business =\= the failing of an idea necessarily. Pets.com will be remembered as a failure of the dotcom bubble but Chewy comes out some years later selling the same shyt and its a massive success?


I mean personally I agree with the sentiment you said about crypto speculation. Majority of tokens are scams with no use case, however you are being naive to cast that assumption on the entire space.

Ethereum already has the best usage case in crypto being the backbone of the NFT space (which will be huge) and its contracts being the backbone for most of the shytcoins as well. As NFTs evolve it will continue to be around.

What an L this shyt turned out to be. :snoop:

Nikkas thought they were gonna get rich by gambling on fake internet money and then they tried to flip it as if it was a benefit to the community. The fact that we were proud of being the top sucker is honestly sad.

We have to look at it from the perspective of the people who aren't all that knowledgeable about investing,
There were people that preyed on the ignorance of our people and for that, they're terrible people.
I don't blame the ones who don't know, I blame the people who knew they were on the come up and
exploited people.
I knew Crypto was some bullshyt when my Elderly mother started asking about it because many people she knew had
been speaking about Crypto but had never earnestly invested in anythin, there's that and my ex-gals weed dealing best
friends were going on about the fortunes they were going to amass with Crypto despite having never really made an earnest
attempt at asset accumulation.
I knew it was reaching critical mass levels of stupid like the stock market last year when every jackass was talking about buying
any random company for no discernible reason other than "someone else said it!!".

Both styles/types of "investing" relied on word of mouth, no real analysis and the hope that the asset would have astronomical
growth and they'd sell it the second this mystical "growth" manifested. Some heartless people made off like bandits.

Bitcoin dipped 50%+ before 5 years ago and reached all time highs later. It will go back up again.
