The same exact people that I saw domain squatting and left behind when told to put pop-unders on our pages are now closing their scammy SEO outfits to go full web3.

I made money during the dotcom era but am still negative because it reminds me of the worst parts of day trading. Not pets.com or Kozmo, which for all of their flaws were at least building something lots of people want to buy (both could have worked with less rushed expansion), but the sleazy pump-and-dump companies which had “here a miracle happens” in their business plans. I remember so many people doing the same “who cares about value, this number is going up!” pitch.
