Sooo cringe how a16z is making Arianna Simpson spin the Axie Infinity debacle now. In a sane reality, the catastrophic decision to invest in a clear Ponzi scheme, that was explained as such all over YouTube prior to their investment, warrants shutting down the fund immediately.

I keep tuning into @a16z's media to see what the crypto partners are saying instead of "oops, we were wrong". In this latest interview, @AriannaSimpson says she's excited for the blockchain to have... better graphics 🙈

Actually the next generation of graphics is you take the GPU out of your mining rig and put it back in your computer.

"I don't see why you wouldn't want this" Either shows a real lack of imagination or being completely out of touch with customers.

See a stock that setting up for big gains? Let’s help you be the first one to it.

@a16z @AriannaSimpson That slow, careful way of speaking when you don't actually have an answer you believe, but you need to find something to say.

@a16z @AriannaSimpson "I don't see how, as a player, you wouldn't want this" -- as if we needed more proof that she never actually played anything in her life. 🤦♂️

@a16z @AriannaSimpson She doesn’t “see why a player wouldn’t want this”!? @AriannaSimpson have you spoken with literally any person who purchased a AAA game in 2022? They will be happy to fill you in.

@a16z @AriannaSimpson It’s a paradigm shift tho 🤡🌎

@a16z @AriannaSimpson Staring into space, wide-eyed, while making up an answer to sound smart about something you don't understand is a rare talent, and likely one she picked up from first-time founders explaining their GTM strategy.

@a16z @AriannaSimpson Clearly she doesn't believe her own words as they come out of her mouth

@a16z @AriannaSimpson She is talking about this shit !!! Shameless..

@a16z @AriannaSimpson "They have since gone on to become the largest blockchain game..." Yes, that's one way to put it.😂 Another way would be that AXS has collapsed from $142 to $7 in a little over a year.

@a16z Do you or anyone you know have a thread on exactly how it was a ponzi?

@a16z Here ya go
