@ednico @obsidianmd I also like that #Obsidian is bootstrapped and much less vulnerable to the #enshittification that #VC-funded shops are prone to when the ~~loan sharks~~ investors start getting impatient for big returns.

"The point is that the entire model deployed by VCs is to profit by disrupting the marketplace with predatory pricing, and leave the losses to the suckers who buy into the IPO."

OMG, folks. OMFG.

#MariaDB collapse is almost an exact recreation of the #MySQL fall that was only averted by Sun's buyout. Only bigger, more expensive, and worse.

Benieuwd of NLgov een open standaard voor digitale wallets gaat steunen in plaats van eigen standaarden te ontwikkelen.

Why are David Sacks & and other VCs freaking out about #SVB?
1) a lot of VCs sit on the boards of many start ups they invested in
2) many start ups have/had deposits in excess of the 250,000 FDIC insurance and can’t get at the money
3) they may miss payroll
4) CA law causes missed payroll to break corporate veil & board members PERSONAL assets are at risk

“But Founders Fund, Coatue, Union Square Ventures, and Founder Collective all advised startups to pull out cash. Canaan, another major #VC fund, also instructed its portfolio firms to pull funds as needed from SVB. Activant Capital sent emails and texts to its portfolio firms instructing them to transfer balances out of SVB.

Every VC fund that orchestrated the bank run are heavily invested in crypto - especially #Bitcoin. “

@Haste Sad to say but this place is a pretty common SV "startup" grift. The game is to create an entirely fake-ass company in order to trick somebody else in to buying it. Sorry you had to go through this. These people are complete ghouls.
