Founders

BDFL of Quilibrium, Eng @ Farcaster, ex-Coinbase, always opinionated, never hydrated

On the darker side: a fund who with a strong presence here whose GP had an openness to equity deals and spoke against the abuses of VCs with respect to tokens, for several rounds of talks, ultimately passing on the round (fine) due to being too ambitious (coded for "they don't think it'll work", a soft no, still fine) – that would be a reasonable thing to say, if it was left there, there's always room for "no". Nos are healthy.

What was not reasonable, was in the same message, a member of the fund _immediately_ following that up by asking for help in running nodes in order to earn tokens and offering a far smaller quantity as an "investment" in exchange. Ironic, hypocritical, unethical – these words do not speak strongly enough to the situation.

But before someone comes here scrambling to defend their fund thinking I've singled them out: I was general in my choice of words describing actions here, because it wasn't one fund that did this. Three did.

I don’t know which fund Cassie is talking about. 

Proxy Studio’s party (merc) has been operating 30+ nodes for 4 months. Merc handle’s all operations internally (h/t @demipoet)

We think @cassie is a unique founder who can execute on an ambitious vision.
