 Say more about the risks he is taking

How does that compare to risks VCs take?

 WE TAKE CALCULATED RISK AT TEN31 TO SUPPORT EARLY STAGE BITCOIN COMPANIES WITH MASSIVE UPSIDE POTENTIAL.

OUR INVESTORS ARE AWARE OF THESE RISKS. MOST HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE BITCOIN THAN THEIR INVESTMENTS IN US. WE RECOMMEND THAT CONSISTENTLY.

 It wasn’t personal. I was curious about the risk comparison between a public company taking on debt to buy bitcoin vs betting on startups.

 MUCH EASIER FOR A PUBLIC COMPANY TO GET ACCESS TO CHEAP DEBT THAN A STARTUP, FUND, OR INDIVIDUAL.

I THINK MOST VC FUNDS ARE GOING TO GET REKT.

THEY MOSTLY OPERATE ON AN EASY MONEY EXPECTATION AND MONEY IS GETTING HARD QUICKLY.

 If we are actually trying to operate on the Bitcoin Standard, new ideas should have solid business model so that day one it makes revenue is not debt or donor dependent.

 See GBTC, IMO. As potential risk associated based on other players impacting price of locked up bitcoin.
