You have to claim that your new technology is going to create eleventy gazillion new jobs, otherwise nobody will buy into your bullshit.

Sorry, but that is wrong. You can fully comply with the GDPR without cookie warnings. The GDPR does not mandate cookie notices. Cookie notices are malicious compliance by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.

If you are not tracking people, you don't need a cookie notice. Period.
If you are only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you don't need a cookie notice. Period.
If you are using third-party cookies to track people and share their data with others, then you must have their consent to do so. Even then, the law does not mandate a cookie notice.

So, how do you comply with EU law, without a cookie notice, if your aim isn't malicious compliance?

(a) Do not not track people. (b) If people want to be tracked they have to go to your website's settings and turn on third-party tracking. (c) Done! No cookie notice necessary.

The exact definition of a pyramid scheme.

First, you need to translate this:

Startup = Scam company looking to make some quick money for the CEO and then disappear.

Non-binding letters of intent = Never going to happen.

If by "explode" you mean crash and burn, then yes I would agree.

It ends well for Robinhood. It's purely a short-term scam. Get in, make some money, get out.

In my younger days I was working two full time jobs. That's 16 hours a day, 6 days a week. If you would have offered me a service to deliver cash to me I would have said "That's fucking stupid".

Then what is the point? Why would you pay to advertise if you don't know who is seeing your ads? That makes no sense.

You are in the ad business or you aren't. You have to pick one.

It's the same old scam from the first "dot-com boom" of the 90s. You are expected to work 27 hours a day, 8 days a week. And then the company shuts down and you are left with nothing, while the founder/CEO sails away on his golden parachute to start a new scam.

"But this time it will be different." -- the song of the sucker.

Keep it simple: Don't buy from Amazon.

Complete bullshit.

There is no "there" there.

Nah, it's simpler than that. This is just good old fashioned gaming the stock market.
- Announce a big project or big investment that makes people think your company is doing great things
- Stock price goes up
- Profit!
- A year later, people have forgotten that you never actually built the big project you announced
- Lather, Rinse, Repeat

For a very long time, one of the biggest problems we have had is FOMO -- Fear Of Missing Out.

If something becomes popular for more than 7 minutes, everyone immediately rushes to jump on board. $Billions are spent and wasted, a few people might get rich from it, and then it all collapses. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Trump doesn't agree to anything unless he gets a big cut of the action.
