@dopemusic6414 6 жыл бұрын

I personally feel that valuation is greatly exaggerated. Google, Microsoft and a host of others offer exactly what Dropbox offers even cheaper and free for the basic allowance. I think this bubble will burst in a few years just like the GoPro scenario. If they really had such market value Google would have tried to buy them but they haven't had any acquisition offers since launching which is quite strange for such a breakthrough product. Google can literally offer unlimited space for free and starve Dropbox out of market, if a competitor can do that to your business, then you don't have a differentiater you just have a product.

RonPaulSwede What you said is true, unfortunately those people only make up a very tiny percentage. And everything over time becomes corrupted even Google once upon a time said don't be evil. If there is money involved morals usually become second. So even those services at some stage probably will do something unethical hence why majority don't care.

Hi there, everyday I motivate myself to makke motivating videos, but when I am happy I see no point in making them, but when I am depressed, and then come to my existence, I am motivated. The same thing had different effect in different situations life. I want you to talk about this. A person who is funny at the moment, screams and enjoys but a person who is studying seriously will laugh at the other person, but infact he would have done the same thing if he was happy, but he was in a different state of mind.

I didn't catch the idea of "fast iteration" for experimentation. So he said to be quick on an idea and if it didn't worked, go on to the next; and then he mentioned that people judged Thomas Edison how nothing that he made, worked, but he kept trying until it did. So I don't get it, should I hold tight to an idea that I know will work? Or should I make fast iterations and hold tight to the ideas that gave quick results?

@TheGrinningSkull 6 жыл бұрын

Luis Alberto González José Edison tried different iterations before the final lightbulb worked, so he binned and moved on from concepts that didn’t work striving for the final vision. Likewise with Dropbox, the file storage concept is iterating and bins concepts that doesn’t help it toward its destination.

The problem is that most people (rookies) are going to be too lazy to do the WORK; you know like read, research, experiment, validate. They are going to take your words at face value and jump into this IPO without any due diligence or knowledge on the company or how IPO's work. Then when shit hits the fan they are going to want to blame the messenger and not themselves because they don't have the proper mindset. If you are an inexperienced investor please do yourself a big favor and STAY FAR AWAY from IPO's until you are a seasoned investor AND you learn how to do the WORK to become a well informed investor. You're welcome in advance.

Tone Lee I’m curious: why would investing in an IPO from Dropbox be potentially negative if they’re one of the biggest competitors in their respective market?

@yomamascupoftea9459 6 жыл бұрын

Movie Muscle When you say "biggest competitor" are talking in terms of revenue, profits, market share etc? Even still ALL IPOs can be potentially dangerous based on bad information alone. If it were me and I was concerned about the competition I would study Dropbox's prospectus (paying CLOSE attention to their management team) and compare that against the competition's profile and performance.
