Nothing new was said here. It‘s the same justification of questionable behavior and choices I’ve read many times. Even some of the criticisms and arguments have been picked up again and refuted before this post. I don‘t have take aways, except that paradigm LPs must be normies

I‘m a greedy kiwi farmer. 

My theory: People will like this piece. As much as they like e.g. Eugene Wei‘s weaker piece on Twitter. They like it because they are author-simping, associating with ultra high status brands and people is useful.

Had a non high status VC posted this, nobody would have cared.

Voorhees does a radical speech telling it how it is. Popular CB account: „it was anti-democratic,“ meanwhile CB and Paradign host a borderline questionable onlyfans clone on their L2 that is can be securities fraud.

Hence, better tone down the profile! „Speculation=normal, we‘re keeping building“

"paradigm LPs must be normies" is savage af 😆
