"""Us old timers remember 2001-2004 when anything related to the internet was ridiculed as a ponzi scheme. The conventional wisdom was no internet company would ever make money and all the ideas of the dot-com boom were stupid.""" No one was saying that in 2001-2004. People were saying, "Man, we made some stupid investments in 1999." There's a world of difference between the two.
