&gt; In Asia its like 1998<p>I can&#x27;t speak such a broad generalization, but I noticed a learning curve&#x2F; trajectory of how people perceive opportunity online and the ideas they get excited about. It seems to depend when someone truly dove into internet and used it for everyday needs.<p>I only have anecdotal evidence to this, but I really think that most follow are following the same trajectory&#x2F;learning curve about opportunity online and people are currently in place across that curve. We still have fewer than half the world online, and billions who are using the internet today the way we used it in 1994.<p>This is my theory for why old school domainers stopped buying domain names for a premium in 2007, and yet there are still people today paying a ridiculous amount of money for domain names, and thousands more investing in them like it&#x27;s still a gold rush. That gravy train seemed to dry up in the last decade, yet somehow new people enter the market and fall in love. I bet there are still penny auctions making money and daily deal sites emerging, despite those trends passing years and years ago.<p>Those on the cutting edge need to remember that they don&#x27;t reflect the bulk of the world, there is lagging opportunity for at least a decade in every space that seems to be owned.
