merkle raise was genius, because now that the crypto markets have globally topped for the rest of time, they are one of the few businesses with a lot of cash on hand to keep taking shots on goal. lot of other startups won't be able to last through the coming rest-of-the-decade bear market.

I like that they have a lot of runway to weather any storm. But why do you think we are at the top already? Would love to read your thought process.

I don't think we've topped / we're in a bear market. That said, I had a lot of people tell me "why raise now?" Old school Silicon Valley aphorism I learned from Elad Gil: "when they're passing hors d'oeuvre, grab two"

It’s tongue-in-cheek but I think the Merkle raise is actually the VC playbook going forward. Instead of 18-month-horizon headcount-growth raises, we will see 5+-year-horizon elite-team raises.

They're now in a prime position to innovate and capture market share while others falter. But let's not count out the resilience of the crypto community; bear markets have historically been breeding grounds for the next big breakthroughs
