Hamas had 15 years to drive positive change in Gaza. It didn’t. It created tunnels and its leaders chose to steal aid from the people of Gaza. I cry for every innocent life lost. You seem to just cry for a distorted sense of justice. On that note. ✌️. You won’t be missed.

@avichal If you treat crypto as seed/pre seed investing (which it is), investors should expect to see growth in value within 3-4 years. The fact that crypto is liquid is actually a disadvantage in this case.

@paulg I agree with the pass/fail part. But why do you need to take more dilution to finance a debt facility that to support mortgage underwriting, credit card debt, etc? There are so many use cases where equity is just not the right financing method.

The runway of many startups just got cut as they lost access to SVB debt facilities. Three implications: - Forced fundraising might start sooner than we think - Profitability will be much harder to obtain as new debt is more expensive - M&A will be funded mainly through equity

@profgalloway Highly over generalized. If the company is doing very well doubling down can (and in some cases will) generate returns that can cover the fund. Leading 5 rounds in a row and investing $11b into the same company IS smoking your own supply.
