VC money is a helluva drug.

Symptoms include:

  • sudden inability to define the word "spam", previously straightforward concept, now philosophically complex

  • the word "censorship" begins to apply to things that were previously called "node policy"

  • previously held view that "arbitrary data does not belong on a monetary ledger" becomes "who are we to say what belongs?"

  • strongly held technical positions develop a mysterious flexibility
