He understands that BTC is the first truly scarce asset that has been available to everyone. He probably understands the first-mover advantage and network effects. Indexes track inflation, BTC outpaces inflation. The winner was already determined: By 2002, Google overtook Yahoo! in search engine market share, handling over 50% of U.S. searches by some estimates. Independent studies (e.g., from comScore) around this time showed Google pulling ahead of rivals like MSN and AOL. Its minimalist design, speed, and accuracy made it the go-to choice for users, while competitors cluttered their portals with ads and features. By the time Google filed for its initial public offering in April 2004, its financials revealed its strength: $961.9 million in revenue and $105.6 million in profit for 2003. The IPO on August 19, 2004, valued Google at $23 billion, cementing its status as a tech titan. Analysts and investors now saw Google not just as a search engine but as a platform with limitless potential. Google has appreciated 7660% since the IPO. There are moments in time when a bet becomes completely asymmetric. BTC might not ever hit 10m a coin but that is more likely than going to zero. It's currently a 2T asset class and no 2T asset class has every disappeared. BTC is always cheap. Just DCA and forget it for a decade.
Bitcoin is backed by a network of nodes: both computer nodes (hash-rate) and user nodes. Networks have intrinsic value, where each node strengthens and increases the utility of the network, thereby increasing its value. **Metcalfe’s Law** can be used to determine the value of a network. Other types of networks that derive value based on the number of nodes: 1. Social networks: depend on number of users to attract new users (ie. Myspace) 2. Communications networks: depend of number of users to be perceived worthwhile as a communication platform (ie. MSN Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp) 3. Marketplaces: depends on enough sellers to attract buyers (ie. Ebay, Aliexpress)
MSN News. Lol. I wouldn't be that cocky Brett Arends, AI is coming for your job.
There were plenty of people in 1998 who'd spend all day on MSN Messenger or their PS1
Microsoft isn't building their own corporate blockchain that they're trying to sell to the public. Microsoft's existing blockchain efforts (outside if tracking royalties) supporting public blockchains. Their DID implementation supported Bitcoin. Yes, Azure does support templates for private blockchains, but Microsoft did very little on those, and their other experiments around private consortiums was to prove out concepts. This nothing like MSN.
I reckon it'll be in the 10-20 rank somewhere. If it was higher they would have said "Top 10". Netflix would be nice but they run an internal knowledge graph. Amazon do as well. Can't think what DuckDuckGo, Yahoo or MSN would use it for. Tiktok? No. Yandex? No. That leaves Twitter and ChatGPT... Or I'm looking at the wrong Top20 website list...
Ive heard of this happening a lot in the past but never found anything more concrete than this. “Microsoft must first be formally served with a valid subpoena or court order to consider whether it is able to lawfully release a deceased or incapacitated user’s information regarding a personal email account (this includes email accounts with addresses that end in Outlook.com, Live.com, Hotmail.com, and MSN.com.” That is straight from Microsoft, and you had better pray the accounts are still active or the data is even stored still.
3. You're going to conflate using MSN messenger or quake deathmatch with investing in a stock which so happens to dotcom centric? Imagine taking the time to counter other points.
A majority of people still get their information from legacy news (CNN, MSN, Fox, etc) and they are all saying the economy is booming and the US dollar is strong so I'm not sure what you expect.
It does web summaries about our African American founding fathers, and draws a lot of generic Anime chicks with 7 fingers. This stuff is worthless, unless you like reading ultra low quality MSN AI articles. This entire thing is just a ton of hype to sell microprocessors, and it worked, but the tech doesn't do anything worth the cost, and you just can't see it yet.
> It’s comforting that all the aspiring authoritarian regimes of the world are friendly to Bitcoin. MSN in 2013: Bitcoin is used by criminals. Ban Bitcoin! Keep rejecting the idea of an open network.
Coindesk article on MSN.com author okmar godbole.
Yeah, saw this too while researching. There's an MSN article on her reaching out to Mark Cuban
Normally I do and I’m pretty sure I did. The problem with that is I had an AOL and MSN email account at the time, and since I haven’t logged into them in years, the MSN was wiped clean and the AOL no longer exists. Hurts man
"Retrieving Archived MSN LogsSince chat logs were saved locally in MSN/Windows Live Messenger, **you will need to have the same hard drive where the programs were installed or the chat logs were saved**. Furthermore, you will need to have enabled chat logging in the MSN/Windows Live Messenger client."
No exchanges existed in 2009-2010. There's a flaw in your question to begin with. If the bitcoin was on and exchange, it's HIGHLY unlikely that he would have the private key anyway. When you have btc on an exchange, they don't provide you with the private key. That's the whole distinction between custodial vs self custody. He would either have one or the other, an exchange account where he would need access to his email, or a private key. If it was a private key & it's lost them there's no recovering it. However, if it was on an exchanges there *may* be. I say may because if it was truly that long ago (again it couldn't be 2009-2010), maybe 2012-2014, very few exchanges still exist that were available back then. The one exception I can think of is Coinbase. You'd have to clarify what you mean by "MSN messenger stopped working". Before you can even begin to try to recovering an account from an exchange you'd have to know which exchange it was. I don't know see how you'll figure that out without access to the email he would've used with the exchange. You could try looking through old bank statements for purchases but I doubt you could get those from that long ago from your bank. I guess scour his computer or any other records he may have for key words "bitcoin" or "Coinbase".
Yep yet the problem is Russia influencing elections. Not MSN bias
MSN likes to be selective on whatever narrative they want to control
But MSN will never report it. If it ever goes negative again I guarantee they will talk about it.
>This is basically a one or two guy operation. It literally can't be a "one or two guy operation" when 12 different military veterans worked there as of 2023. And I don't even know how many non-veterans work there. KC Cattle Company sells meat online, in their Parkville retail store, and at about 15 grocery stores around the Kansas City metro. I found a news article where the owner of KC Cattle Company states "we had 12,000 orders roll in and roughly a million people visit the website” after an article on Apple News and Yahoo and MSN. Could you imagine a "one or two guy operation" filling 12,000 orders of meat? It's safe to say that KC Cattle Company is more than a "one or two guy operation". >treating this like a mid-size company that’s started accepting bitcoin is a bit much. Who is treating this like a mid-size company that’s started accepting bitcoin?
It's been on my mind this week. AOL, MSN or Yahoo could have been the internet but things change - Google was far superior as a search, but now it is basically ...not so superior. Amazon failed to make a profit or 10yrs building name recognition, or dominance if you will, as they start profiting they might fall out of favour. I like the idea of LTC as they seem under valued to me compared to BTC. There should be an arbitrage with Litecoin in down markets and a protective value play in BTC in hot markets. Same for the Ethereum side of things, there will be profitable shitcoin plays in near future. Sure f your strategy was to buy Walmart stock you could have done well, but a diversified portfolio was a better play if you didn't know which large cap would be the best. From time to time something comes along that shake things up so stay dialed in.
You got downvoted for pissing both sides at once but yes, that's exactly it. Priceless insight by MSN as usual.
MSN says asset that performed well will keep performing well. Priceless insight.
Very good point OP Sometimes isneay too early. I still remember seeing people using smartphone apps for chatting and even before that a minority of people was using MSN messenger,mIRC etc. I was very young since I was born early '90s.
So why is MSN advertising it. Why is Jennifer Aniston doing this? Is MSN trying to scam us?
I think the "right" was the proprietary MS network, instead, MSN or something. If I remember it correctly.
thats like saying Telegram is a terrible app because MSN failed. Tell me specifically why this iteration of the idea is bad.
This seems like a shill for machine learning algorithms/bots. It resembles the MSN page adverts… “Doctors are angry at him!”
Twitter has beaten MS news multiple times, usually more then not actually. And is posting better facts lately the MSN. Though there is a lot of garbage. That least you have 2 stories and 1 with the real one. Unlike MSN...
Unlike Sam Bank-MSN Fried, Steve Jobs was fired from Apple... Most hugely successful business owners have succeded by falling forward. Obviously I do not trust him but so far CDC has proved to be a well run business. So please stop pretending to be a Sherlock when your really being a Karen 😘
It’s also like if they had 9 news sources they were using for the study, 8 of them tell you up front they lean left lol. In a study of FOX, CNN, NBC, and MSN, 75% of all media was liberal!!! Yeah, because those channels brand themselves as liberal lol doesn’t differentiate between actual progressive politics and being a corporate whore though, an important distinction.
That MSN article was wack. It was like 20 words and then an enormous wall of advertising.
MSN is a shit show for comments, its worse than world news for banning people. Say the wrong thing that could be innocent and not insulting, ban hammer time.
MSN is blaming China now to steer attention away from the Whitehouse.
^ link requires MSN app on phones to read
Didn't even know MSN existed still lol
Daaamn I didn't know [MSN.com](https://MSN.com) still existed
Someone needs to bring back MSN Messenger.
Used to build websites for firearm businesses. One of my clients whom I hated regularly used racist phrases as promo codes. He was featured in yahoo and MSN news multiple times for it. Thanks to getting featured in the news for being a giant douchebag, he made insane amounts of money (I had access to his transactions). The best publicity we can find bitboy is no publicity. If someone mentions or asks about him, present facts, but don't volunteer information, imo.
This was released 12-1-21. MSN is a little behind in their crypto news…
Figures, right! But to hedge my bets I'm gonna be a risk-mitigating hobo and add some AOL & MSN Messenger to my portfolio.
Pretty much anything on MSN related to crypto was so 6 mos ago.
Damn MSN used to be the superstar of the era, but now it's a piece of history.
If this article taught me anything, it’s that MSN still exists
There's nothing new on your first observation, playing online games while chatting is at least as old as Skype and MSN. Discord is just better at it and is much better than anything any "metaverse" can provide today and in the near future. I refuse to even argue about the price that useless things were sold after what we all saw this past bull market
There's a trend you'll with these articles by big "influential" finance publications and big news firms like Yahoo, CNBC, MSN etc. They frame everything that happens in crypto in terms of some government, wall street or otherwise entrenched institution activity. They're building a *narrative*, that the existing institutions control this market, that their decisions are of the most consequence. They're all rags, doing this on purpose to maintain their influence. The price of ethereum went down as a result of uncertainty due to the merge. Its "buy the rumor sell the news." It has nothing to do with an SEC declaration.
Don't forget to tell all your friends on MSN Messenger when they come online!
Based on your Facebook comment we went to school at roughly same time. After school a significant part directly went to MSN to keep talking (no idea what we had to say after seeing each other at school already :P ). Hyves was a big thing long before Facebook. So was stuff from online gaming to finding information.
You are trying to compare Crypto vs Internet or Facebook wich make zero sense. So many Ancestors like Yahoo, MSN died, others took their places. But some of you think that crypto is a "tech" wich is not... Blockchain is the tech, crypto is just a side effect and extreme volatity associated to it makes no sense at all. When you invest in yahoo, Facebook or whatever you invest in something already existing that need to develop. You actually own a share of the company and then profit from its profits... When you buy most of crypto, you buy what ? The right to vote ? Lol... You only buy the right to sell it to another guy for a higher price. Of the few and really useful use of blockchain and crypto is Brave wich reward you for receiving ads that yoy might like instead of being robbed by Google of your privacy wich is sold to some companys and make ptofit on your back...
I still remember everyone saying “AOL iand MSN are here to stay”
Still dont get why anyone would care about or buy these NFT avatars for their reddit profile. It all gives me MSN Messenger vibes.
If you really where an investor you would have a price and time target. Saying idiotic stuff like "I am in it for long term" is like saying "I am gonna win the lottery next time". You have no idea, no one does, if crypto is an ICQ or MSN messenger. All you have is what the devs tell you, and they want your money so.
It can happen, look at some of the biggest names in the tech world. AIM and MSN messenger have been replaced by Whatsapp. AskJeeves and Yahoo were replaced by Google. Bebo, Myspace were overtaken by Facebook Nokia one of the biggest phone brands is now nowhere to be seen.
Or they could both be as relevant as AOL and MSN in 10 years
Yeah, I noticed on MSN has DOW and Nasdaq as bearish news due to the sentiment, while both are seeing their best days in months. DOW is up 1.63% and Nasdaq is up 2.89%. I don't get it honestly.
I remember AltaVista, AOL and Yahoo... I remember MSN messenger... I remember DailyMotion... Kazaa...Napster... People said P2P? Naaaahhhh Still used today 😂 When I read comments in here, I realize there's full of neinsager, like we love to say in Switzerland.
>What I do remember was ppl talked about the internet in that same fashion back in 99. Bullshit. Or well, I can of course not know how people around you talked about it, but I am going to claim bullshit anyway. It is the same bullshit used again and again by some here. "It is just like the early internet". No it is not. Around that time it was getting adopted rapidly. People spend significant amount of money on it. But not to sell it later to other suckers, but to simply use it. Yes dial up was expensive, but it was incredibly useful. And the moment ADSL came out (around that time), half my class at school ran to MSN messenger after school. Stop trying to rewrite history, it is nothing like the early internet.
Exactly this. It's concerning the number of people I know who want to be financially free but haven't worked a full-time job a day in their life (or some who were briefly employed for a year or so). They got by living with parents all throughout their 20s and early 30s and it's always a narrative about not being having a boss and being told what to do. It's such an unrealistic luxury mindset. Honestly, I don't know if it's laziness or narcissism, but people need boring ole bosses and normal ass jobs. Our society functions better and the easy money like crypto has created an out (or illusion of an out) to actually working a job. And crypto isn't completely at fault for this. There's also other means of money like content creation on social media or YouTube. Half the time you don't even have to be original. It's probably better to not be honestly. You see it all the time with the biggest influencers in the space, they just talk into a camera on the topic of the day, essentially functioning as the YouTube video equivalent of an MSN headline. Personally, I think it's destructive for our society that money comes so easy. But has it created any better experiences? If anything, it's buried talent in the real world because if you're not playing to an algorithm or you're doing something unique and creative that requires hours of dedication, well good luck with that. And then with crypto it's worse. The stupidity of the life we live in, the fact that this magic internet money is valued so highly, yet it's so risky. The value doesn't match half the assets it's attached to, yet people are pouring more in like it's fine and not a bubble that's going to burst. Why are people so against jobs anyway? Did they really feed themselves the fantasy that they are entitled to do whatever they so desire with their time or that money should be easily available for everyone? This life is about survival, you have to be doing something. Do you think that because you were the cute child of your mother and father that you don't have to work a job like anyone else? Stop being so lazy and acting like crypto is your ticket to not working. Time to get a real job like the rest of us and be grateful to work it each day of your grueling life.
It was just the only person MSN could find to help spread their fud
Clickbait Trash MSN behind a paywall. Worst post ever!
As someone who was the same age in 2001 I completely agree. Granted, I didn’t follow markers at all - I was too busy skateboarding and being a delinquent - but I was talking to my friends all the time on AIM/ICQ/MSN. And downloading music and fake celebrity nudes on Limewire and Kazaa. It definitely didn’t feel like there was any uncertainty about the internet going away. Not quite mainstream, but the GET protocol is doing cool stuff with NFT concert tickets. https://www.get-protocol.io/ I feel like I’ve also seen some big acts or sports teams offering free NFT collectables with the purchase of a normal ticket. Maybe the next bull run (if we have one) we’ll see more mainstream adoption in the ticketing space.
I was looking at MSN markets and their charts must be messed up. Google shows 1 CNY holding at 0.000008 BTC. Going to try to post a screenshot here...
Booze and holidays, that's where I lost my fresh new MSN password ....
Been a while since I was on MSN.
>Bro at this rate I’ve just started comparing it as we’re investing in the new internet twenty’s years ago it was a scam and fad crypto is the newest thing to take it’s place I buy and hold and patiently wait. I assume you are less than roughly 20 years old? Can we please stop these attempts at rewriting history. 20 years ago we were all using e-mail, MSN messenger, we got a better search engine than Altavista (Google), hell we didn't have to use dial up anymore, but were switching to cable/ADSL internet, which allowed online gaming without making our parents (or yourself) broke :P . There is a reason many people were paying for internet by the minute 25+ years ago (dial up): It was insanely useful.
Yeah indeed, and quite frankly I see so often in crypto circles people trying to rewrite history of the internet. Around 2000 the internet was growing rapidly. Don't pin me on the exact year, but around that time right after school, we all logged onto MSN messenger. We already all had Hotmail accounts (with crappy sizes, until in 2004 gmail was launched with suddenly huge mailbox sizes). Of course there were people afraid of it. But the vast majority was rapidly adopting it. Hell why do you think we (or all our parents :P ), were happily paying dial up costs? And even more happy when ADSL arrived. Because it was extremely useful.
Who even gets their news from MSN?
Surprised MSN still exists lol. Made me feel nostalgic, the good old days on MSN Messenger
Lol that's not what he said. Clown ass MSN at it again. Go read his actual blog post. He said that a stablecoin cannot handle a downturn if the mechanism is dependent on growth, if it can't handle the userbase going down to 0 without losing peg.
I agree it’s quite important. But it’s early and more effective stuff will gain momentum. MySpace and MSN had plenty of network effect. I still think eth is super valuable and will continue to be. But thinking it’s the only road is the same issue bitcoin maxis have imo.
Yes and no. AOL never managed to come up with a good way to lock people in. They tried to do the email thing (but you could still have an AOL email), the AIM thing (same), and the homepage thing (but weren't unique - most news providers, eg, were on both AOL homepage and MSN). ETH has value actually locked to a degree. Liquidity locked to ETH would be a bear to move elsewhere. Devs and auditors that have become experts on Ethereum would need to rework skills for most other chains (there are a couple fully EVM compatible exceptions). Network security in blockchain literally depends on market cap, so even an exact clone is less secure. Finally, being known is critical - you can copy an NFT's jpeg, but the "value" is currently ascribed to real owner on the real blockhain - for most big NFT collections right now, the 'real' blockchain is usually ethereum. Bac to your metaphor: it's not pets.com or AOL. There's some chance it's friendster, and there's some chance it's Facebook. I'm betting on FB-like in the metaphor... time will tell!
The MSN messenger days... Where you could get a gf in 5 mins
>"I like investing in things that have valuable output. The value of companies is based on how they make great products." Great products like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Bob, Windows Phone, Zune, MSN, and Clippy!
This is the guy who's company tried to abuse their power over their desktop share to push their own proprietary MSN instead of the open Internet. When that didn't work, they tried to abuse that power again and push proprietary extension to open web standards via their desktop and internet explorer. He was never a friend of open source technology or open networks, but an actual enemy to those movements and ideas. I'm not surprised
MSN was launched late but became the most popular messenger. AIM got Microsoftened.
I think it depends where you grew up. MSN messenger was outside of the US more popular than AIM. Just like how apple messenger is insanely popular in the US but here in europe almost nobody uses it, we mostly use whatsapp here.
Who tf used MSN messenger? 😂 AIM >>>
Amma tell all my friends about this on MSN messenger.
I feel Nfts are more like email providers then. Many options available (used to be 1 email per internet plan) provider but more or less similar core function. Some will rise and a few will win. Yahoo consolidated the market with the idea of only 1 address, Hotmail came out with more ideas and MSN. Ultimately Outlook got commercial market while Gmail got the consumer share. Obviously both had other key products that helped drive the growth. Right now we know Nfts use cases and function but utility is mainly on jpegs. Furthermore, all of it is scattered across different chains which is irritating and complicated for general consumers. Just need that consolidation phase which depends on who's gonna win each sector.
>the average joe was sceptical about the internet back in the 90s so maybe you were the very few that didn’t but there’s a reason in 2000 the bubble burst because the tech was cool but nobody was using it Wait what? Are you serious? Yeah there was a dotcom bubble where everyone had to do something with the internet, but that doesn't change a shitload of people were using the tech. In 2000 we had Limewire already, lots of people were using that to fill their PC with digital STDs. We had MSN messenger. We had Hotmail (apparently Gmail came in 2004, since I remember what a big deal its high storage was, pretty much everyone was using email back then). Sure as with any new technology people had to see the advantages of it (or not, many new technologies fail of course). That takes time. But you are seriously rewriting history here by acting like no one was using the internet in 2000's, or that no one saw the benefit of it. The internet was back then already well on its way to becoming a standard household thing. Hell, an Age of Empires (2) and Starcraft 1 were there also, including its multiplayer modes.
Exactly the kind of reporting I'd expect from MSN lol
That out of touch old dinosaur gave over $41.5 billion of his personal wealth to the Gates Foundation, then turned his remaining $40 billion back into $146 billion *cash*. Then that old dinosaur bought $51 billion worth of his various primary sotcks and another $3.6 billion of his own Berkshire Hathaway in January of this year. That old dinosaur doesn't have a clue about technology (his Berkshire Hathaway owns 121 million shares of HP ($4.7 billion), $157 billion worth of Apple stock (5.41% of the company), bought 14.7 million shares of Blizzard before the MSN buyout and netting himself $1.19 billion). He should take the advice of all the HODLers in this subreddit then he'd be *really* rich! You guys are fucking *hilarious*.
I wouldnt call 80 dapps in 5 years growth tho. But sure, you are technicly right. Its more then 0. Adoption? Thats subjective. To me adoption is a real world use. And thats none for this chain so far. To me its a big pointer. While it can be manipulated, so can everything else. Whats the point of being "better" when no one uses it? Betamax vs VHS, DVD vs Blueray, Minidisc vs CD, ICQ vs MSN. But also Cardano isnt even better by any measurement then anyone else so theres that.
Microsoft Chat? Is that like the predecessor of MSN?
Limewire back in the game! That brings back some memories, nice. Will Napster and Kazaa also return? Bringing back the vibes of downloading mp3s with viruses and distorted songs. Next, they will reintroduce MSN Messenger on the web3 blockchain? 
MSN messenger has a special place in my heart
What the fuck MSN is still a thing?
AOL MSN Yahoo Even Facebook Plenty of tech giants have fallen from dominance.
Haha yeah that was it, those were my preference post napster, wasn't a huge fan of lime wire. Soulseek was mostly for niche catalogues of aphex twin style electronica lol. Winamp playlists. MSN Messenger. Glory dayz
Whatever the MSN says is bought and paid for..
Come over to MSN messenger it’s where the cool kids are at
Crypto YouTube and Twitter has the same names we used to use on MSN messenger back in the day.
Next up MSN messenger to release a coin
What is MSM, I see it a lot. No clue if they are talking about MSN or [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/multimedia-search-and-mining/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/multimedia-search-and-mining/) , or something else.
MSN was really hot too before gmail
Love this. Very succinct and well thought out explanation. If only CNN and MSN would have her on.
