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
