The last few weeks (months, really) has highlighted an incredible lack of discernment in the VC-verse wrt the thing we call web3. Now. I have no experience doing what YC does and don’t claim to, but the jig here was so transparent that the smallest drop of “street smart” should’ve been enough to set off some alarms.

We’re approaching a point where being passed over for “culture fit” is a compliment. Hopefully the embarrassment is enough to expand the founder vetting checkboxes.

If they’re unlucky they lose $500k, which is nothing. If they’re lucky they get a Coinbase. Why not.

$42 million of real people’s money was lost. That’s a net negative to society whether or not it shows up on a balance sheet.
