      VC funds that still can’t buy crypto in 2021 are sacrificing their returns in 2031.

      VC funds are not hedge funds. Nor do LPs want them to be. They want different funds to invest in different things so they can mix them to create exactly the asset cocktail they want.

          Crypto hedge funds are hybrids of VCs and hedge funds, and have made billions in a few years, probably outpacing most other asset classes. Crypto is teaching VCs how to time markets and hedge funds how to do technical diligence. And disrupting both.

          It’s true that there often statutory or contractual restrictions on VCs & LPs that limit their crypto exposure. But the time to address that by setting up new vehicles was years ago. Yet many aren’t even moving on this today, thereby missing out on macro trends like this.pic.twitter.com/UuPAaUwuGF

          Exactly. I am a fan of crypto but I wouldn’t want it in my VC fund. I love whisky and I love coke but I wouldn’t want them mixed together.

          Not sure what’s more ridiculous, the concept of “timing” markets which is the definition of fooled by randomness, or suggesting that an asset class can teach how one should trade it..

          Their EXACT cocktail should include more women and minority founders since their current recipes are light on these two ingredients. #vcs #startupspic.twitter.com/Uk1TtQrCcO
