    agreed, it may fall further 20% but should not fall more than that ,short of armagaddon. Soon only shopping options in uk will be supermarkets and amazon as it has decimated the high street
    AWS is their main profitable business

      That's what they'd like you to believe.

      Amazon's main income does not come from AWs (an infrastructure that could be replaced by any number of cloud based blockchain projects, Sia for one), their money comes from retail, i.e. Woolworths. When people stop buying tat Amazon stock will tank.

        Proves you don't know much about mathematics; a 30% decrease isn't the same as 30% increase.

          Amazon did no such thing to the high streets. Customers did. Council with the high parking fees if your believe the daily wail. They put quantity over quality. Tell me how it is the high streets here in Munich are streaming with shops and people? You don't find tat so easily I can tell you, mostly stuff made in the EU.


          It defo goes under $1k, and fall to trend line. Where? Don't know. $400 to start or $900 to end. If it does not hold then it falls to $98.

            Did you come to that conclusion all by yourself?

                  I don't use that term.

                      AWS earnings Q1 2018

                      Explain to be how AWS infrastructure can be replaced with 'blockchain based projects'. How can I run Kubernetes on top of a magic blockchain? How does blockchain replicate autoscaling groups, or cloudfront?
