    @sama surely this isn't yik yak > facebook, but rather misguided VCs? even with inflation, YYs valuation is absurd

    @sama does this have to do with early employees being more savvy today to what startups can afford in salary & equity?

    (just to be clear, I think facebook is likely to be the significantly better investment)

    @sama I've heard of Yik Yak because I was thinking of coding something similar and then I found it... Still not convinced.

    @mahbodmoghadam that gives me hope, for now. (the fact that vc funding isnt necessary in the early days.)

    @sama Not really going out on a limb by saying yik yak isn't going to be worth $200bn someday.

    @sama I'm guessing someone probably said the same thing about @Myspace back then. Not that I disagree. Cycle time is accelerating.
