Bitcoin begs to differ.
- No CEO
- Zero VC money
- No paid shills
Number 1 on Coin market cap since day 1.

Does that VC making the prediction have significant money in ADA? No bias at all if so

Was their model ever anything other than wasting VC money buying and selling cars at a loss?

Just look at VC funding trends
Last year tens of billions into “Web3”
All those NFTs are dead now and it’s “AI”
The cycle continues …

I think a big key is to find the projects with a bunch of VC backing and no token. They eventually will have to pay investoroors. The only logical way is via airdrop.

Signature was a crypto bank, SVB was a VC bank. They were engaged in risky activities.
First Republic’s error was just buying too many long term treasuries.
Government helping out a good customer, if you can get screwed buying US treasuries it will reduce people’s willingness to buy them.

It’s hard to trust people who are pushing for keeping crypto deregulated, those audits might audit the code but when you buy your tokens with dollars this means that the money goes to a regular bank. This is the entrance and exit of the crypto market. VC firms now can support many startups in defi and be able to sell their position that are basically un regulated securities in many cases.

>we have the tools to protect depositors when there’s a threat of serious harm to the economy or to the financial system
It's the 'when' that's concerning. Especially since Yellen made it clear that it would take an act of Congress to guarantee all deposits.
Sure they bailed out wealthy VC depositors at SVB, but you can't assume they'd do the same if your small bank went under. In fact, they've made it clear that they will only protect depositors if they deem your bank systematically important. They basically told everyone to abandon ship at regional banks.
If the fed really wants to help people they should stay out of the news. Their efforts to 'calm' have had the opposite effect. Everyone knows that when people 'need' to say 'everything is fine', that everything is fucked.

It may be getting priced in but nvda is a good way of mining the miners. The real success in this place may be found via VC investments, smart startups that find a way of utilizing the tech.

Used to be a VC coin.
They are building a lot though.
They got their punishment for being a Vc coin when it got massacred down to 8 dollars.
I only saw opportunities down there.
The idea behind it (Proof of History) is extremely interesting in my opinion.

The risk is that Solana is a VC shitcoin, with a centralized on/off switch.
That's the risk.

I disagree, I think recency bias is still prevalent. Take Arbitrum as the newest example, I have friends who are relative crypto newcomers swearing that it's the best bet the next 5 years- but the reality the entire L2 space is just as crowded as the L1 space (what those coins represented) 8 years ago. Of the 10 or so Eth L2's we may end up seeing only one or two make it to the 5-10 year mark. Solana is another example- it's largely VC funded with centralised nodes so I think there is real risk of a binary outcome if they run out of burn runway - ie it's highly conceivable that it goes to zero at some point in the future.

Billionaire VC Tim Draper Tells Businesses To Keep Payroll In Bitcoin

When the majority of the float is controlled by a few then it's hard to crash the price. All these projects are majorly VC backed and thus won't lose much value unless they sell.
Look at Solana for example, it shut downs every other week and still has billions of dollars in marketcap.

I mean, it's not a bad idea to make a crypto and just choose to ignore the triad from a pumping VC perspective. But eventually it's going to lose out to both the decentralised crowd and functional tech companies.

> Sure some will survive and be great but most will probably be overlooked
This is how VC works. If you make 10 investments, 9 go to zero, and one goes 100x, you win.

**What is TENET?**
TENET is the EVM compatible blockchain operating on the Cosmos SDK. It benefits from the immediate compatibility of 99% of crypto developments, due to EVM compliance. It also benefits from the composabiltiy of the Cosmos ecosystem, which till now has lacked a core use case.

It’s community DAO, uncorrupted by VC pre-sales, has true community power: stake $TENET and use fees from network demand and products to expand the ecosystem, operate buy backs and burns, boost yield, and anything the community wants. Imagination is the only limit.
**$TENET Token Income**
$TENET has a purified staking system. Free from VCs. This pure community DAO is in control of the value generated from the business model. This is the global public’s only shot at owning the value generated by the $10 trillion dollar AI economy.
**Market Buying**
The community can use the business model to run constant buy backs of $TENET tokens from the circulating market.
**Token Burns**
The community can build sustainable and regular burns of $TENET tokens, which they bought from the circulating market, thereby making a constant reduction in supply.
**Staking Rewards**
The community can choose to build the industry’s highest yield staking rewards by using market buys of $TENET tokens as yield.
**Treasury Growth**
The community can use the business model to build a treasury that keeps growing: expand into yield farming, buy under-valued assets, acquire businesses, etc.

To whoever said it earlier makes lots of sense Peter Thiel and his VC buddies would pitch a fit over interest rates and bring down SVB. Euro banks failing after is because they always been trash zombies shambling along.

Yeah, that is way out my wheel house, but I agree. To me, all the bank issues seem related to the banks and their customers.
Not only was it a bunch of VC money, but a bunch of companies were flushed with cash, due to the low rates. Then in the digital world, it's way faster to pull out money online.
It's possible banks could be in worse shape. but for now, I think SVB is more of a one off.
Like CS wasn't profitable either and has been on the decline for a while.
Seems like the biggest risk to banks is still a bank run, but not even sure that's going to happen.
I'm more concern around the tightening of credit, since people not being able to get loans is bad for the economy.
