Whoa what are you doing telling the truth on here ball Z

Actually I think breaking through that 7 floor into 5's is the best thing that could've happened to it (im a bag holder btw)
1. gen Z/Alpha may be low on $ but their parents do, if they can afford a $500 phone... idk i don't think its dead in the water just yet, it doesn't have the penny stock blue print, sure they can bleed a few users here and there.
advertisers pay a premium to reach that "unreachable" Gen Z/Alpha demo through their parents' wallets.
They were offered a buyouy from META in the past but ceo passed on it, at this low levels - i think they have a decent chance of a buyout from some giant... and even if they dont
is trading at its lowest valuation in history... At today's market cap of roughly $8.9 billion, Snap is "cheap" for a giant like googl or even disney.. (who needs a bridge to younger audiences).

idk im gona bag hold it either to the moon or to 0.

Based on the financials, it definitely agrees it’s a value buy. The only worrisome stat is there debt and Altman Z score. But the rest of the data looks pretty good at this price.

I so instead of buying the homes because they cost too much, we will *checks notes* rent from institutional investors so they can continue buying the homes?
Rent is only going to continue increasing. I now pay less for my mortgage and escrow than my friends do for rent with half my sq footage. How is Gen Alpha and Gen Z supposed to keep paying rent that continually increases?

BTI - Gen Z is smoking more than ever 🐂

Möchtest du mit denen ernsthaft konkurrieren?
Wie siehst du persönlich deine Chancen mit solchen "Standortvorteilen" konkurrenzfähig zu bleiben?

I believe there is another distinction. Fiat money can be stored indefinitely for some very low fraction of its cost, just the cost of storing paper or coin, functionally zero.
But coin once created requires an extensive complex system to maintain it. If the digital network were to fail, due to electricity loss, bitcoin coin would disappear. Z it also requires an extensive network if engineers, programmers, etc to keep the world wide data network operating including communications (fo, satellite, etc.). Not to mention the cost involved in creating the bit coin.
And a question, is it really necessary to create more Bitcoin? Because as it becomes harder and harder to “discover” or “mine” of “calculate” the coins the cost of each new bit coin raises at some alarming rate. So that we are spending real world resources, energy, to create a “idea.”

Freibeträge könnten noch ein bisschen höher sein mmn. Aber sind schonmal nicht so 100k oderso.
Und 1% wertzuwachs sollte auch drin sein. Frage ist was man macht, wenn man nicht teile des vermögens einfach verkaufen kann. Z.b. wohnung in zentraler lage, da ist man schnell bei einem sehr hohen wert und da kann man nciht einfach 2% verkaufen von.
Edit: wobei, das greift ja erst ab 1 millionen dann.

I fear that this risk of early forced retirement is minimized by millennials and gen Z types, and I say this as a millennial. The bursting of the Dot Com Bubble impacted my family and all our family friends who worked in tech at the time. Most of us got back on our feet and moved around in search of jobs. But we still have family friends who never recovered and now run restaurants, liquor stores, or laundromats, despite having PhDs in engineering from prestigious schools. My old man to this day warns me about not to get over cocky about these matters.

Liquidity” is just a Gen Z term for what Baby Boomers have been calling “stop loss runs” forever. No different than what homeowners now call a “primary bedroom” used to be called “master bedroom”.
Nothing new except nowadays The stock market is primarily high frequency trading (automated high speed trading) to squeeze out every .01 possible, versus 1/4 point spreads in the old days.

I find it's similar in other fields as well, like creative writing. I can prompt AI "hey write a story about X" and it will fulfill that. Will it be good? No. But it did it. That means somebody who is not a writer can produce a story easily, but it doesn't mean it'll be good.
A writer using AI can be way more specific and say "write a scene where this character says X, this character responds Y, then have Z event happen, describe it with terms such as but not limited to A B or C, then weave in some details about 1, write with 2 style choice," etc etc on and on. Then that writer can review what the AI output and say "OK redo it but make these changes because you've got some inconsistencies." Then the writer can take *that* output, bring it outside of AI, and make some quick edits on any additional problems remaining.
A writer is gonna be far better at getting AI to make a good story than a non-writer. A dev will be far better at working with AI than a non-dev. But like you said, bosses and stakeholders don't understand this at all and think AI can just straight up replace everybody and there's no value in specialized skills anymore. Insanity.

I think you could reasonably claim, that for a dev team that has a lot of repetitive work (standing up API endpoints to do X Y Z, over and over again for different resources), you would get decent gains in how quickly you get that done. AI is very good at "copy this but change it in this way". Even if it's wrong, this type of scaffolding is superior to what we had before, saves a ton of time building things from scratch

Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) has experienced significant volatility over the past several years, currently trading in the mid-single to low-double digit range depending on market sentiment and earnings cycles. The stock remains well below its historical highs, reflecting broader pressure across digital advertising platforms as well as company-specific challenges related to user monetization and competition.
Snap originally gained traction as a fast-growing social media platform built around ephemeral messaging, augmented reality features, and a strong appeal among younger demographics. At its peak growth stage, the company benefited from rapid user adoption and increasing advertiser demand for mobile-focused engagement tools. However, the digital advertising landscape has changed significantly over the last few years, creating both structural and cyclical challenges for Snap’s business model.
From a financial perspective, Snap has experienced periods of slowing revenue growth. Recent earnings reports have shown quarterly revenue growth that has moderated compared to earlier expansion phases. Advertising remains the company’s primary revenue driver, and fluctuations in advertiser spending have had a direct impact on top-line performance. Macroeconomic uncertainty has also influenced advertising budgets across multiple industries, creating additional volatility in Snap’s revenue trends.
User growth has remained relatively stable, with Snap continuing to report strong daily active user engagement, particularly among Gen Z demographics. However, investor concerns increasingly focus on monetization efficiency rather than raw user growth. Average revenue per user has faced pressure as advertisers evaluate return on investment and shift budgets between competing platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and emerging social video ecosystems.
On the cost side, Snap has implemented multiple restructuring initiatives aimed at improving operating efficiency. Over the past two years, the company reduced workforce size and consolidated several internal product divisions. Management has emphasized streamlining product development while prioritizing core revenue-generating features. These cost reduction measures have improved operating discipline but have not fully offset revenue growth concerns.
Snap has continued to invest heavily in augmented reality and artificial intelligence capabilities as long-term differentiation strategies. The company’s AR lens ecosystem and creator tools remain among the most advanced within social media platforms. Snap has positioned these tools as future monetization channels through branded AR advertising, creator partnerships, and interactive commerce experiences. While these technologies offer long-term potential, near-term revenue contribution remains uncertain and dependent on advertiser adoption.
Competitive pressure remains one of Snap’s most significant strategic challenges. Larger platforms with broader user ecosystems benefit from scale advantages in advertising analytics, targeting infrastructure, and cross-platform engagement. TikTok’s rapid expansion in short-form video and Meta’s continued investment in AI-driven ad targeting have intensified competition for user attention and advertiser budgets.
From a trading standpoint, SNAP has demonstrated elevated volatility around earnings announcements, macro advertising trends, and broader technology sector sentiment. Technical patterns have shown repeated testing of support levels during weaker advertising cycles, followed by sharp rallies during periods of improved guidance or stronger user engagement metrics. Trading volume often increases significantly during earnings releases, indicating strong institutional and retail participation.
Long-term strategic outlook for Snap largely depends on the company’s ability to improve advertising monetization while maintaining strong user engagement among younger demographics. The platform’s brand identity and cultural relevance remain valuable intangible assets. Additionally, Snap’s early leadership in AR technology may provide strategic optionality if immersive digital advertising and social commerce adoption accelerate over time.
However, several risk factors remain. Advertising spending remains highly cyclical and sensitive to economic conditions. Competition for digital advertising share continues to intensify across social media platforms. Additionally, continued investment in emerging technologies requires balancing long-term innovation with near-term profitability expectations.
From a valuation perspective, SNAP often trades based on forward growth expectations rather than current profitability metrics. This dynamic contributes to higher volatility relative to more mature advertising platforms. Investor sentiment tends to shift rapidly based on revenue growth trajectories and management guidance regarding advertiser demand.
Overall, Snap represents a technology platform transitioning from early hyper-growth toward a more mature monetization and efficiency-focused phase. The company retains strong brand recognition and technological differentiation in augmented reality, but its ability to translate engagement into sustainable advertising revenue remains the central investment debate.

Do you think Snap can improve advertising monetization while maintaining user engagement, or will competitive pressure continue to limit long-term growth potential?
