CEO & Founder of @boostinsurance, reforming VC; all opinions are mine (especially the dumb ones).

If I was in charge of US Soccer, I would fly to Spain and pay Jurgen Klopp a visit. I believe I could convince him to take the USMNT job.

Gregg Berhalter will get the blame for this Copa America but much of the fault lies with the players.

Since the founding of Coinbase back in 2012 we have taken a long-term view. I knew we needed to embrace compliance to become a generational company that stood the test of time. We got the licenses, hired the compliance and legal teams, and made it clear our brand was about trust with our customers and following the rules. We wanted to increase transparency and raise the bar on trust, so we became a public company in 2021.

This meant we couldn't always move as quickly as others. It's more difficult and expensive to take a compliant approach. You can't launch every product that customers want when it’s illegal. But it's the right approach because we believe in rule of law.

Today's news reinforces that doing it the hard way was the right decision. We now have an opportunity to start a new chapter for this industry. We took a lot of arrows operating here in the U.S. due to the lack of regulatory clarity, and my hope is that today's news serves as a catalyst to finally achieve that. Americans should not have to go to offshore unregulated exchanges to benefit from this technology. This industry should be built right here in America, in a compliant way, under U.S. law. We're going to stay here in the U.S. because we believe in economic freedom and that the U.S. democratic system will eventually get this right.

Decentralization and crypto is a powerful tool to update the financial system and build a global economy with more economic freedom. We're just getting started 🚀

@yrechtman Def still brokers unfort. Step one: set up a corp email account. Step 2: say something on the internet about said corp raising a few VC dollars. Step 3: respond to one of the 800 cold emails you get from brokers 5 min later.

[Alex Maffeo @AlexMaffeo]

@joeschmidtiv If only there was a company built to provide all of the compliance, capital, and technology infrastructure companies need to scale their insurance programs. ;)

[Alex Maffeo @AlexMaffeo]

@Alex_Lazarow @jefielding Terrible take.

[Alex Maffeo @AlexMaffeo]

@jefielding @Gaving322 @halletecco Yikes, no. GPs have one job: to pass on or invest in co’s based on merits, whether they want to get beer with a founder or not. Good VCs can price a deal or explain why they passed, objectively, every time. The worst don’t do/say anything, most often bc they don’t even know how.

[Alex Maffeo @AlexMaffeo]

If you were part of the problem, know that the rest of us kept our receipts. We know who you Twitter heroes are, can freely choose who to do business with in the future, and we have extremely long memories. We also vote. #SVBCollapse #SVB 💪

[Mark Suster @msuster]

1/ More in the VC community need to speak out publicly to quell the panic about @SVB_Financial ... I believe their CEO when he says they are solvent and not in violation of any banking ratios & goal was to raise & strengthen balance sheet
