i know that YC has funded things like opensea, coinbase, protocol labs. but i find that that most crypto founders don’t consider YC when starting their company why do you think that is? have you thought about doing more to attract crypto founders?

How do you think crypto (tokens, nfts) will affect the discussion around employee compensation, especially as an alternative or compliment to equity packages? Does YC invest in token based businesses?

are you still actively buying tokens today (personally, not as YC companies)? if so, do you mind sharing which tokens? or if not, which ones you're bullish on? (obviously with the understanding that your responses are NFA 🫠)
