Venture Capital is a Fully Featured Hostile, Enemy Financial System

I’m going to try to keep this short, but I want to demonstrate to all of you that the venture capital financial infrastructure is not just about Coinbase and Bitcoin and NFTs, but rather about a portfolio of financial products and platforms that have been developed in large part by a16z and are close to forming a fully viable financial system... a sovereign one which VC has sole ownership and control of and that will someday make them a sovereign world power.

When you look at all the investments they have made, what you see is a picture of venture capital conspiracy that has already built out huge parts of a sovereign financial system that is in direct confrontation with the traditional system. This means that the American financial system and even the global financial system is an enemy/competitor, and we must analyze ongoing financial efforts with this lens. VC are a hostile, enemy force engaged in ongoing financial attacks on this country.

Crypto, blockchain financial infrastructure is not designed to live alongside the traditional system. Rather, it is an attack formation against the existing system and it is designed to provide true sovereignty for the venture capital class. True sovereignty requires a full financial system as well as a fully operational military and defense capability - I have spoken about that in other places, but for this piece, please understand that sovereignty is the primary driver of all VC activity and their interactions in the financial system, including the demolition of SVB which is allowing them to onboard the entire startup ecosystem to VC-controlled financial infrastructure, and also creating massive spikes in adoption as well as the value of crypto assets themselves. 

Venture capitalist have seized on the event of the bank THEY THEMSELVES crashed to promote and onboard onto their own financial infrastructure. 

 Most people think of crypto as some kindof limited-scope fringe investment product but rather, what we are dealing with is a comprehensive build out of a fully operational financial system that confers sovereignty and which the entire tech industry can be run on. 

A fully functioning, alternative, autonomous financial system, requires a significant amount of infrastructure.  You are going to need banks, you need stock exchanges, you need financial services like personal wealth management, you need developer tools for deploying to blockchain, you need regulatory services, smart contracts, loan services, trading platforms, consumer plays, investor plays, etc. 

So, here is a look at just SOME of the financial infrastructure that a16z has. This is yet another example of how looking at just single startups is incredibly misleading; you must look at the portfolio and how that is being deployed as a market instrument. One company never tells the full story of what a venture capitalist is doing. Here is a fuller picture and again, this is just a selection of ONE VC firm. Many of these companies will eventually be consolidated and rolled up into major platforms like Coinbase; this is often how VCs build behemoths is by distributing goals and parts over multiple startups and then eventually combining them to form monsters; look how many startups have gone into Facebook (another a16z company), many of those startups funded by… a16z. 

So, here’s what a16z ACTUALLY has going on in its portfolio: 

- Mercury is extremely important because it is an a16z-funded BANK. Most people don’t understand that VCs have started multiple of their own banks. Mercury is a direct competitor to Silicon Valley Bank, which a16z just caused a run on with their buddy Founder’s Fund. Mercury focuses on banking for startups. Its pitch is that banks “aren’t designed for the pace and creativity of startups.” They were onboarding heavily in the days after the SVB crash and somehow no one talked about how a major cause of the bank run, a16z, has a direct competitor bank. 

An important note here is that one of the major things that is going to drive the explosion of VC financial infrastructure is re-platforming the entire startup/tech ecosystem onto it and making that the only way to transact with the startup economy, including buying or using any and all VC tech, and any investment in the startup economy.

- Anchorage Digital is “the first crypto-native bank” for crypto assets, with a charter from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Oh, you have fucking at least two banks already Marc Andreessen? Impressive.

RICO. 

- Axoni, “founded in 2013 with the goal of overhauling global capital markets infrastructure.” Scary!!! And also an important reminder that these startups that everyone thinks are new and undeveloped have actually been under development for more than ten years 

- Talos, which makes infrastructure for institutional digital asset trading, “to help bring extraordinary levels of efficiency, transparency and risk mitigation to billions of investors worldwide.” The focus on major institutions is often lost in the idea that crypto is just a silly little joke or a fraud or hoax, while everyone is talking that shit, a16z is bringing on tons of institutional investors; these tools are far more hardened than anyone realizes.

- TradeBlock is yet more crypto asset trading infrastructure for institutions, with the specific goal of getting institutions onto the blockchain. Investors again, a major target here, and as we know, investors = enemies of the people.  

- But don’t worry, they’ve got the little guys been reeled in too. Clover is a point of sale system focusing on restaurants and other small businesses.  

- Goldfinch, which is for crypto borrowing and loans and allows investors to supply capital for credit lines for borrowers. Obviously loans is a major part of the financial system and they are already doing crypto lending, another thing that you don’t hear much about, as it is swallowed by NFT Ape hype used to make VC financial infrastructure look unserious. 

- Affirm, a predatory financial institution that is increasingly integrated as a first-class citizen in e-commerce, allowing citizens quickly falling into poverty to spread payments across time, as VC launches attack after attack on American people through cascading layoffs, bank-runs, and various forms of purposeful and targeted automation of their jobs. 

- One of the scarier ones as far as I’m concerned, Dfinity, which “aims to create a ‘blockchain singularity’ in which every system and service is rebuilt and reimagined using smart contracts and runs entirely from infinite public blockchain without need for traditional IT.” 

Great!!!

And then we have some other pieces here that I won’t dwell too much on, but we’ve got Loop Crypto (autopay for crypto), OpenSea (the largest NFT marketplace), Uniswap (a decentralized crypto trading protocol), Fort (for decentralized security for wallets and investors), Harbor (a multi-chain wallet) and RLYNetwork, which is infrastructure for mobile developers to build on-chain consumer apps . 

Okay???? So we have tons of the pieces here and when we talk about crypto what we are actually talking about is a fully VC owned and controlled financial ecosystem that very much is in competition with the existing system and as we have already seen with SVB, benefits in proportion to how bad the existing system (which is relied on by people around the world), does. Which means financial instability for us is their fucking kingdom. 

Wake up. They are at war with us. When do we show up to the battlefield?
