Andreessen Horowitz Is Blowing Up The Venture Capital Model (Again) [Forbes]

what the fucking balls is going on here

is this an april fools joke

More aggressively, they tell Forbes that they are registering their entire firm—a costly move requiring reviews of all 150 people—as a financial advisor, renouncing Andreessen Horowitz’s status as a venture capital firm entirely.

By renouncing its venture capital status, it’ll be able to go deeper on riskier bets: If the firm wants to put $1 billion into cryptocurrency or tokens, or buy unlimited shares in public companies or from other investors, it can. And in doing so, the thinking goes, it’ll again make other firms feel like they have one hand tied behind their back.

“What else are feathers for? They just like to get ruffled,” Andreessen says with a smirk. “The thing that stands out is the thing that’s different.”

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

can somebody please please make a bitcoin with feathers that looks like a golden snitch and superimpose “Andreessen, who—at 6-foot-5 with a shaved dome that his wife, philanthropist Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, has been known to lovingly call “my egg””'s egg over harry potter’s head
