Amazon founder Jeff Bezos walked down memory lane and recalled Amazon’s market list 25 years ago. In May 1997, Amazon was listed on the Nasdaq as AMZN.

Bezos went on social media to celebrate 25 years of being recognized for his labor of love. Amazon Boss writes that this journey to success is “far from smooth” and includes risk-taking and innovation. He also quoted a song line from the rock band Grateful Dead in his tweet.

Bezos tweeted, “25 years ago yesterday, AMZN came out in public. As the grateful dead will say, “What a long, strange trip.” It’s been a long time coming. Lots of risk, lots of innovation, lots of mistakes, we still have to do better. I will not trade rides for anything. ”

A Twitter user asked Bezos what the price of the 1997 Amazon IPO was. Bezos replied, “1.50.” Amazon stock is currently trading at 2.307.37 on the exchange.

His tweet drew the attention of a user who asked what the billionaire noticed the biggest change in himself on this trip.

What is the biggest change you have noticed in yourself during this time?

Lots of union-busting, lots of small business destruction, lots of labor exploitation, lots of tax evasion.

It’s been a long weird trip.

As an Amazon customer for almost 20 years, I would like to express my gratitude, because in two decades Amazon has never disappointed me. The trip is amazing! To me, the world has been a better place with this company. Thank you for being a great inspiration and leader!

If you don’t start a company from scratch, ordinary people don’t understand the struggle.
