something i still think about almost weekly:

after SNAP filed for $3B IPO in 2017, shares of Snap Interactive (a small tech agency building dating apps) increased by 164% over four days... almost primarily driven by investors mistaking Snap Interactive for Snapchat.

Do you think crypto doesn’t try to confuse people into scams ? Do you think crypto scams are solved!??

it happened with zoom during covid, people confused the video chat tool $ZM with an unrelated company $ZOOM

This happened with something else a couple years ago too, might’ve been the Roblox IPO

this happened to AlchemyPay (a payment processor) every time Alchemy announced a new funding round in 2021 (3 times)

this proves one thing:
"buy now, DYOR later"
