It’s the internet right now. 

Couple unicorns that don’t get acquired though (no shade at all to privy congrats on the hard work) and it’s a new paradigm.

Yea def no shade I want founders to win, we just obv keep the status quo internet indefinitely if this is the majority “best outcome”

I understand this stance and share some of it. Simultaneously, feel pretty strongly there is some talent that is sidelined because we don’t have at least a simple couple sentence ‘here’s what’s legal and illegal’ 

Beyond that though I agree that we are in an off-state, state-extended era but it’ll be time before the market catches up if I were making claims.

Man I’m just so pessimistic about regulatory frameworks saving us

I really feel like we’re post-governmental-authority for the big players on the internet

Obv us here/the little guy can and will still get stomped but unless we hardcore shift the entire country reeeeeeal left populist/anti-tech I don’t see the government doing much in terms of monopoly busting or anticompetitive prosecution chasing

Add in the impending triple clusterfuck of AI media generation, crypto financial rails, and the hyper acceleration of internet cultural proliferation I just don’t see much room for classic govt support here

I feel that the more regulatory frameworks become just normalized is when we see new small teams become unicorns and have no real incentive to sell if it’s not network or relationship based. 

Time will tell though. Agreed that right now the best outcomes are still nice, privy team works hard.
