    So If you bought $10K worth of Amazon stock back in 1997, It would be worth $10,000,000 today.....Let that sink in for a while. I feel pretty dumb, how about you guys?

            btc was a lot different, apples and oranges

            Amazon was basically the foundation and backbone of the internet, solidifying its purpose and necessity of the internet

                If you bought 10k worth of BTC in 2010 it would be worth $208,000,000 today. Hindhsight's always 2020.

                      Scammers love Amazon. Once or more a month, I get a fake email that my $1200 new computer is being shipped to someone. It's very official looking, but the 800 number doesn't match.

                            i was 18 and in college ordering textbooks from amazon. i really did not think they were going to be anything special. i was too focused on aol chat rooms.

                                      Don't dwell on the past. If I had all the Super Lotto numbers from the past year, I'd be a billionaire.

                                            nah, we aren't dumb....

                                            I'm much happier with the memories of the ten grand I decided not to invest in Amazon stock back in 97, deferring to spend it on hookers and blow over the next three to four years before Y2k....

                                              If, back in 1997, you had invested 10k in numerous other companies just like amazon you'd have been wiped out. For every one jackpot, there are plenty of broke bums; just like the lottery.
