Crypto VCs like a16z or Paradigm aren't backing builders. They're funding a lot of fucking grifters and dressing up shallow gimmicks as "innovation". Their game isn't conviction, it's capital deployment. Principles don't matter, only optics. They are like thirsty dudes that get too horny fast. Just take a look at Blast, another ponzi-like scheme backed by Paradigm. VCs aren't principled allies guys, they're not even neutral bystanders. They're enemies of where this space needs to go. I still can't believe this shitshow has raised over $100m whilst Roman needs to justify himself for each cent he needs for his defence. This makes me vomit.(sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /)
