Just trying to find a nice niche in a place with great tech and terrible economics.

We were having developers build economies and that is not their forte.

What they were doing to print money was not different to what the US government does.

I don’t think everyone is going to make it, but what does make it out of this dot com bubble, will be the next Amazon or the next Google.
