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.

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timewasting obscurantist morons - like Karl Semich And then some Marxist problems never get solved - they just get superseded by new anarchist problems.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!
