@typesfast Data is what matters - who has access to an updated high quality collection of legal data

Claude for legal works seems to work just well as Harvey btw

Exclusive: Billionaire Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are purchasing a newly completed waterfront mansion on Miami’s Indian Creek, becoming the latest California billionaires to buy a home in South Florida. on.wsj.com/3MtZxaF

@theallinpod @friedberg Wealth confiscation to reduce the debt problem. It’s coming and will affect everyone. For context: Spanish wealth tax starts at 1.7% for those with a net wealth of €3m, rising to 3.5% for fortunes over €10m. Every year.

David Friedberg: California’s “Billionaire Tax” is a Trojan Horse to Go After the Middle Class's Private Assets @friedberg: “The reason they're calling it a billionaire tax is to make it easier for people to vote for it, and sign up to this entirely new tax system that they're proposing to put on all Americans at some point, and for the first time ever degrading our private property rights.” “Forget about how much wealth you have, forget about how rich you are, forget about the term billionaire, millionaire, whatever it is.” “We're creating, or proposing the creation, of a new tax system that allows the government for the first time ever to come in and audit everything you own.” “All the jewelry your grandma gave you, the value of all the couches in your house, the value of your car, the value of all your stocks and bonds, and the government can come in, and for the first time, look through the veil into your personal property.” “And say, ‘Here's how much all this stuff is worth. I'm charging you a percentage of that. That's what I need to get paid.’ And it doesn't matter that it starts with billionaires. What matters is that we're giving the government the right to look into our private property and take a percentage of it every year.” “The total net worth of billionaires in the US is $8 trillion.” “The net worth of the US, the middle class, and everyone else is $170 trillion, compared to $8 trillion of the billionaires.” @chamath: “They need a way to open the door so that they can go after the real honey pot.” “The real honeypot is not 200 people.” @friedberg: “Just so everyone understands the real goal of this is not to tax billionaires, because there are other ways to tax billionaires.” “Charge them a capital gains tax if they borrow against their assets that they haven't paid capital gains tax on. Very simple, that can resolve this.” “Another thing you can do, you can raise the capital gains tax rate. Sounds unpopular. I don't agree with that, but that's another way to deal with this, which is to take the capital gains tax rate from 20% to 30%. You could do that.” “The real goal of this is to create, for the first time in American history, a private property asset seizure tax. Because they're going after the $170 trillion, not the $8 trillion that the billionaires have.”

@eduardomanchon Muy de acuerdo. En España con poco se vive bien y si los founders no hacen caja con secundarios, lo racional es vender pronto. Salvo que ya seas afortunado o no te importe el dinero sino el reto (que también los hay). Y eso es compounding porque no hay muchos casos de éxito.

¿Por qué la mayoría de los founders españoles venden relativamente rápido y las startups españolas exitosas son vendidas antes de hacerse gigantes? Pues porque el 99% de los founders de esas startups no tienen 5M en el banco, ni de secundarios, ni de exits previos, así que toman la decsión racional vender antes que arriesgarse a perderlo todo. Si tuvieran suficiente pasta en el banco, otro gallo nos cantaría en el ecosistema de startups. Por eso permitir secundarios no va de ser inversor founder-friendly, va de entender que para conseguir el máximo retorno de la inversión, es condición necesaria que los founders arriesguen al máximo y para ello hay liberarlos de las preocupaciones mundanas y que su objetivo aumente al x100 o simplemente sea hacer historia. Cuando los VCs inteligentes se dieron cuenta los secundarios, que antes eran inaceptables, se convirtieron en comunes. Pensar en secundarios como motivación para currar o desmotivación para hacerlo, es confundir trabajar mucho con arriesgar mucho. Los secundarios son motivación para arriesgar más, no cambiará la cantidad de trabajo. La motivación para trabajar duro y el riesgo asumido son variables ortogonales: un founder con una estrategia conservadora tendría un peor retorno a pesar de haber trabajado más que un founder menos trabajador, pero con una estrategia más arriesgada. Y a todo esto amiguitos le llamamos "alineación de intereses"

Wtf
