Serious people doing serious diligence overwhelmingly don't pick Solana. They never did. Too much centralization and crime. Not enough TPS. GENIUS changed everything. Age of seriousness. Mute/block all of Solana. I did a few months ago. Solana is simply not important anymore.


It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.





Heard from LPs this week: The past 9 months have felt like groundhog’s day - a very small set of deals dominating all LP convos. The fever pitch to access rounds of OpenAI and Anthropic by LPs (and even GPs calling us) at times - has reached levels I’ve never seen in my career. And for good reason. Our rough math suggests that the VC investors’ gross profit on 3 LLMs currently equates to ~70% of ALL VC profits from the previous decade. “This time it’s different” mostly applies to the concentration - never has a tech super cycle declared such a small number of massive winners in such a short amount of time. The LP conversations are now shifting but we’re still on the same companies. LPs now preparing for IPOs and the LLM transition to public mkts - how to access at IPO, how the stocks will trade, liquidity dynamics, etc. 9 months from now will our convos still be focused on the same small group of companies??
