And Now, The Research *No winter for Coinbase Ventures* Despite Coinbase’s brutal 2022, its venture arm was still the #1 most active corporate VC investor <https://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e26ecdbe423a10a…> (tied with GV) in the second quarter. Coinbase Ventures and GV (Google Ventures) invested in 28 companies each in Q2’22, pulling back from their first quarter dealmaking. Overall, CVC activity fell by the largest margin in over a decade (though it remained one of the strongest quarters on record). Japan bucked that trend. Corporate venture arms in the country dominated the world stage in Q2. Of the 9 most active CVCs, 5 are now based in Japan compared to 2 in Q1’22. <https://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e26ecdbe423a10a…> A government push to encourage more startup activity in the country may continue to drive a shift in dealmaking across all investor types, including CVCs.

Startups are developing products & services across emissions tracking, carbon capture, and more. Funding to the decarbonization tech space has already crossed 2021’s total in 2022 so far. Meanwhile, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have all incorporated decarbonization tech tools into their products & services. With market leadership still up in the air, big tech giants are vying for a piece of the decarbonization tech pie.

Inefficient operations. Changing consumer preferences. These challenges — compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic — have felled iconic retailers from Neiman Marcus to JCPenney.

Thiel has been making a crackpots case for 'real-terms tech stagnation' for 15 years - while just in the last 14 years Btc has catalyzed a new techno-economic market valued over a trillion USD There are none so blind as wankers like Peter Thiel.

A lot of cypherpunk airbrushing going on
by professor rat 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Its hard to help someone understand anarchist revolution when their whole idiotic identity depends on them not understanding it. When I first came here the list was regularly assaulted by off-topic spam sent by a Semich-like moron called ' Choate '. Some problems never get solved - they just get replaced by new ones. Till then, the best revenge is living well. And global cryptoanarchist victory may have already been assured as early as late 2010! Its just non-trivial and NP hard to distribute evenly. No pressure.

When all is said and done a lot more is always said than done. Especially by gasbagging, timewasting obscurantist morons - like Karl Semich And then some Marxist problems never get solved - they just get superseded by new anarchist problems. Welcome to the global anarchist revolution! Help for the HOPELESS!

My Govt-Sachs wants to kill your mother

Page 459, " Too big to fail" by Andy Sorkin "...Goldman had been on Wachovia's payroll as its adviser, and as such, knew every aspect of its internal numbers..." What happens next is anyone’s guess. But with the likes of Goldman Sachs combining forces with such unsavoury characters in the crypto elite, it is not impossible to imagine them wreaking havoc around the globe: charging clients obscene crypto fees and betting against their own Bitcoin products to make even more money. . .

Criminals, Wall Street rejects & shadowy super-coders, oh my.
by professor rat 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Rather than producing a more open, more liberating, more financially free society, the crypto movement has empowered not just another cabal of corrupt financiers, but a hidden cartel of criminals, Wall Street rejects, and what U.S Senator Liz Warren has described as “shadowy super-coders”. https://unherd.com/2021/09/the-crypto-revolution-has-failed/?=refinnar Reposts etc " You won!
