I feel out of touch with this writer and much of the community here when it comes to Google.
I use a whole host of their products, and they all continue to improve from my perspective. It seems like there's a lot of hyperbole in this topic.

Yes. It could buy Microstrategy to acquire a good chunk of Bitcoin.

I may be under a delusion of grandeur here but I like to think at least one high-ranking Microsoft employee is a fellow Stacker News user. If so, Microsoft would need to explore the possible deep state connection between Saylor and/or Microstrategy. If confirmed (or at least not categorically dismissed) it would need to tap its own deep state contacts for permission to proceed for an outright acquisition. Simply buying shares would lead to a headache as it would then become a Saylor simp which would be a PR disaster ranking alongside a dancing Steve Balmer with sweaty armpits.
(Note: I must be tired, somehow I thought this was about Microsoft not Google but I don’t want to remove my Balmer’s armpit joke….. Up with the rocket or down with the ship.)

No. They are far too evil to come back and to be trusted.

I suppose, Google's market will see a massive drop in the next decade as people are getting fed up with its search engine.
Bitcoiners will increase, so are the haters of centralized search results. Whatever else that Google has, is only because of the succes of Google search engine.

Google is not better than adshit now, I am better with presearch, though it's also not the best. But I don't like a pay tj search idea so it's good. Sometines I even use DDG.
Google can bounce back or not, I don't know but it shouldn't bounce back.
