Any oldfags here? What was /biz/ like back in 2003-2006?

RLC is mooning and you are trying to connect with oldfags from the 20th century

26 year old boomer here, pretty sure /biz didn't exist until after 2010 because it was created as a containment board for all of the crypto fags.

Not gonna lie. Been on this japanese cartoon site for a very long time, but before crypto I always thought biz was a place for old boomers to talk about the wonders of wagecucking.

Can't remember if it even existed, but I miss the one that existed a few years ago where people actually discussed actual business.
Crypto is cool, and arguably has the chance to make you rich, but the stress involved is just too much for me In fact sold everything I had a few months ago and I regret nothing.

I member someone in pol posted a link from Q that predicted it and I was able to take a nice short on the market

>What was /biz/ like back in 2016
most of the threads started like this
"How fucked is a 30 y.o. with $50,000 in student debt and a degree in English? Asking for a friend."

the threads consisted of
dropshipping
affiliate marketing
physical metals
$1 billion inheritance LARP
NEET vs wageslave

it was a pretty fringe board. it took like 24hrs or a few days for threads to die.

I miss 2014 /biz/.
Less shilling, more discussion.
The level of discourse dropped like a rock since crypto boomed in mid 2017.
Come to think of it, that applies to this whole website.

Not as much bitcoin talk, but the ethereum memes were pretty awesome. A lot of people used to talk about the stack market but that thing crashed and people got rekt in 2008-2009. Still don’t understand what that was but I laughed at all the kids getting dumped on.

Pretty unmemorable desu and I know I spent a ton of time here in 2014. Even though there must have been a shit ton of BTC bagholders I don't remember the board being flooded with crypto threads. I did make some money on General Moly though.
