El único tipo en la historia que ha marcado en 6 mundiales diferentes.
Casi 1000 goles en su carrera.

El único que se atrevió a desafiar, y competirle de tú a tú, a un genio tocado por la varita como Leo Messi. Se propuso alcanzar a un talento innato a base de trabajo incansable, esfuerzo, constancia y fe en sí mismo.
Porque él tiene talento, pero para llegar a la altura del argentino tuvo que romper barreras imposibles para otros. Y fue capaz.

Casi 20 años acaparando todos los focos en el máximo nivel, soportando la máxima presión y poniéndose al frente a pecho descubierto.

Y algunos quieren aprovechar cualquier ocasión para mofarse de él o desmerecerlo…no lo puedo entender.

Mientras algunos hablan de un posible "Last Dance" en TyC Sports preferimos recordar el "First Dance" porque estuvimos ahí cuando nadie estaba.

"Mira ese punto. Eso es aquí. Eso es nuestro hogar. Eso somos nosotros. En él, todos los que amas, todos los que conoces, todos de los que alguna vez escuchaste, cada ser humano que ha existido, vivió su vida. La suma de todas nuestras alegrías y sufrimientos, miles de religiones seguras de sí mismas, ideologías y doctrinas económicas, cada cazador y recolector, cada héroe y cobarde, cada creador y destructor de civilizaciones, cada rey y campesino, cada joven pareja enamorada, cada madre y padre, niño esperanzado, inventor y explorador, cada maestro de la moral, cada político corrupto, cada «superestrella», cada «líder supremo», cada santo y pecador en la historia de nuestra especie, vivió ahí – en una mota de polvo suspendida en un rayo de sol."

When Iron Man came out in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. was *not* a marquee star.

He was rebuilding his career and paid a below market rate of $500k.

But the deal terms set him up for one of the great acting comebacks ever (while earnings $450m+ as Tony Stark).

Here’s the story 🧵

VC is a mainstream industry now. No longer a cottage business of a handful of small collections of partners in Menlo Park, it is transforming in a parallel path that its cousins in private equity, hedge funds, investing banking, all went through. With that come growing pains: compression of low hanging alpha, increased scrutiny from the broader public, including regulators, and increased responsibilities as its influence has grown. This will continue to have broad ramifications in 2024 and beyond:

1) Compression of low hanging alpha: Doug Leone recently described how the venture industry has morphed from a high margin artisan business to a low margin mainstream business. VC has never been easy by any means, but it sure has gotten continually harder over the years (with the exception of 2020-21). Traits that used to differentiate firms and provide alpha on their own - specialization, hustle, founder friendliness, marketing, portfolio services - are all arguably table stakes today. *Every* venture firm in existence does all the above at least reasonably well. The industry is loaded with talented individuals who went to the best schools, worked at the best firms, and are driven to compete. The power law only allows a small handful to actually succeed. Alpha will generally continue to compress, much like they did in other asset classes. Some combination of extreme contrarianism, extreme specialization, and highly differentiated strategy/network, are necessary for new firms to even try to compete today.

2) Increased scrutiny: the VC industry is mainstream, and by extension, the tech startup industry as a whole is mainstream now. With that come the downsides to fame that celebrities know all too well. I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but somewhere around 2016/17, press sentiment, and through their influence public sentiment, turned sharply negative on the industry as a whole. Some large scandals at the time, most notably at a large ridehailing startup, played a part in it. But there was more to it than that. To this day, it very much feels to those on the inside that the whole startup industry is unfairly portrayed as overly greedy and destructive. There’s a palatable feeling of schadenfreude: numerous articles practically celebrating when companies fail or have layoffs, with a tone of glee, without acknowledging the obvious fact that the industry is *designed* for most startups to fail, with the hope that a handful wildly succeed, which they continue to do year after year. Regulators are also much more heavy handed nowadays with tech companies.

But here’s the thing: we have to acknowledge that this comes with the territory. Banks were reviled post-GFC in 2009, with Goldman Sachs being compared to a vampire squid. Buyout firms are regularly attacked as greedy job destroyers (see Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign). With scale comes scrutiny. There’s often good that comes with it: uncovering of bad practices and fraud, ensuring compliance & safety, and generally ensuring high professional standards. This will continue, for better or worse, and the industry will have to continue to evolve & improve.

3) Increased responsibility: software is indeed eating the world. Once upon a time, tech companies were all fairly innocuous: straightforward back office B2B software tools, infrastructure & networking tools, games, marketplaces, etc. But as the breadth of software has spread to every industry on Earth (healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, media), and the influence of that software has evolved to jaw dropping levels (through deep learning -> LLMs, personalization, engagement hooks), it’s imperative for the venture industry to be cognizant of the impacts of what we are funding & supporting. Social networks have morphed from simple utilities connecting friends & sharing content privately, to influential broadcast media platforms. Healthcare diagnoses & prescriptions, access to credit, investment recommendations, even news, are all influenced or even controlled by software. Entertainment and gaming content, not to mention ads, are deeply personalized. And they are almost all optimized around engagement maximization and/or revenue maximization. These platforms can and are being weaponized in ways that their builders could not imagine.

Is regulation the answer? Probably not in most cases. Generally, broad sweeping oversight by government bodies doesn’t bode well for innovation & progress. Should we not build them at all? Again, probably not the right answer, as there are immense net benefits to all of these innovations.

But gone are the days where we can turn our heads and say these are just simple tools, that their influence is limited and contained. Building in safety features by default, thinking deeply about what could go wrong, where we may have blind spots that can be exploited, are all imperative today.

I believe the venture industry can and will continue to thrive. There are still many buyout firms that produce terrific returns, as are a good number of hedge funds. Alpha is always there for the taking, even if it’s harder. The scrutiny will continue, and perhaps most importantly, the industry has an increased responsibility to guide technology to a place where there’s a healthy balance between rapid progress and safety.

Una amiga comenzó a leer "El Exorcista". Ella dijo que era el libro más malvado que jamás había leído. De hecho, no pudo terminarlo, lo llevó a la playa y lo arrojó al océano desde un muelle. Fui y compré otra copia, la mojé, la abrí y la dejé en una mesita junto a su cama... 🤭

OJO a cómo se vivió el gol de la victoria😂🙌🏻
