      The best way for a non-accredited investor to invest in a startup is by buying Amazon stock.

      well it's a different risk profile - altcoins are probably a similar type of risk

      I think it’s less about risk and more about return. Buying Amazon is like investing in a basket of startups, but with higher probability of success compared to the startups that most angels would have access to.

      I feel like it’s unlikely you’re going to get the kind of returns from amazon you’d ever see from a startup

      That’s assuming that the average person would have access to - and then do a good job picking - winners amongst very early stage startups. Would be surprised if the average angel investor returned 4x, which is possible w Amazon.

      Fair, but I’m guessing angels aren’t investing with the hope of getting 4x. They’re doing it with the hope of going big or going home, but I get your point

      I’m probably being dense here but Zach can you explain this further? Is it bc Amazon is experimenting and innovating in a startup-esque way?

      Ie that risk and reward are inextricably linked

      my point was that people don’t invest in startups because they are risky - they invest because of the potential reward. That isn’t to say the two aren’t linked.

          I see. I view the two as inseparable. They’re two sides of the same (alt)coin.
