On the heels of BTC and ETH falling in the tandem with stock selloffs, QED Partner @fintechjunkie shares a framework for thinking about market corrections and what it could mean for VCs if public markets stay depressed. “Quality assets will be seen for what they are over time.”

The past week was brutal for anyone holding stocks or crypto. Everything corrected and then corrected more. 💥😵‍💫💥 Some voices are shouting “buy the dip” while others are predicting the beginning of “a crypto winter”. My framework for thinking about “corrections”: 🧵👇

America’s greatest competitive edge.

Ronald Reagan's (born Feb 6, 1911) final speech was a love letter to immigrants: 'Anybody from any corner of the world can come to America to live and become an American. We draw our people, our strength, from every country and every corner of the world.'

1/26: It’s hard to produce a 3X+ #VC fund. It’s much harder to do this consistently. Our first 4 funds are mature enough to know where they’ll end up and all of them will handily beat this benchmark. I reviewed our portfolio this morning and jotted down 12 notes. Shared:

Dangerous. Does he ban Pence next? Top NatSec officials? Impeach and remove.

CONFIRMED: Short tells me he is not allowed back on White House grounds: "He's blaming me for advice to VP."



Distribution by district (esp smaller districts) forces the persuasion to a broader population. (Vs just campaigning in large cities.) Also would raise profile of Congress rep which the really the really broken aspect of our system right now.

Congressional districts feel too easy to stack the deck as opposed to a popular vote by state. Popular vote by state also means that each vote counts the same within a state and helps create parity between the value of small state votes and large state votes.



I’d argue awarding electoral college by congressional district would be better. While we are at it though a simple and Constitutional change would be to enlarge congress with population as was initially intended. This is also best proposal to address gerrymandering.

Neither student debt nor the electoral college needs a radical solution. Here is a simple solution for each: Student debt - make it forgivable in bankruptcy which will force the market to price correctly Electoral college - make votes proportional to each state's popular vote

Congratulations to President-elect Biden. I have prayed for our President most of my adult life. I will be praying for you and your success. Now is the time to heal deep wounds. Many are counting on you to lead the way.
