i don't want capitalism to work. I want it to die with Bezos and all those who invested 100$ or more in Amazon

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 4 days ago

Well, why weren't you investing 100 USD in Amazon every month since 1997, Vijay? Or since 2007?

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 9 points 4 days ago

Just do that 10,000 times over 300,000 years and you'll have as much as Bazy Boy

Same goes for Microsoft, Apple and Google. Everyone thought it would go similarly for Pets.com too but then 2000 happened.

The Linkedin guy's advice is 100% true though, you're just better off diversifying your risk.

In 1997, $100 was worth about $200 in today's dollars btw

Inflation is for the poor.

his wealth also could have been your wealth.

I wasn't alive in the 90s much less an adult that could legally invest.

Well you should have worked harder to have been born and be an adult! Capitalism works when you're able to participate and not be in utero!

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago

Capitalism works when people can participate and be claolirvoyant and see a massive shift in the communications industry leading to massive monopolies that are able to abuse society!

It's only $100/month for you too to support a not starving dragon at Amazon HQ.
