I was in tech early. At the time I could have bought almost every website you have ever heard of or had value. Each domain, at the time, cost $75 to register the domain. Furniture.com, LA.com, Groceries, Taxes, broadband.com etc etc

I knew Google was going to win the search wars because their results were real and marked sponsorship placement. The others put sponsored results first.

I was is a mining Bitcoin with a group while I was still on a dial up modem. Only got about $8 total over 4 months so I gave my 11 Bitcoin to another dude.

I tried to convince the wife to grab these above but she said no, we cant gamble when we have no money. I couldnt even tell her that the .com was going to be the domain for business. It was about 60/40 at the time with .biz. We were piss poor at the time. So we'd have to spend $150 to cover one site to park.

Cant complain about my life I did get to lead. Where I ended up as a retiree. Yes, I still give her shit about saying no.
