    zero information. honestly how can you even call this reporting. do the research, then share it…don’t just report the hype that you hear on other news sites.

      One of the presenter recently wrote an article about influencers being a hot trend. Geniunely thought it was an article that was accidentally reposted from 2014-2015ish; until I looked at the date – NOV 2019!! Influencers with large followers (mostly bots) on IG bring no value to advertisers, i.e. sauce-less bunch. There were abundance of articles written about this whole phenomena and its controversial incidents. When it comes to their spending, big companies aren’t that stupid and realised they [influencers] were bunch of charlatan that would spew and shill anything, for the right price. Not worth the risk of having a closet racist/homophobic/pedophile as the face of your brand; see all the “influencers” who’ve lost their sponsorship deals after little digging. Officially unsubbed!

      ​@M Man haha exactly. Like they admit in this episode that they made the video without doing any research on all the companies Softbank holds…..but they still thought it was worth them posting lol….actually admitting to making and posting spam.

Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under President-Elect Donald Trump who has vowed to oust Gensler. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, to discuss potential personnel appointments. 

This episode of Equity brings you an interview between Rebecca Bellan and co-founder and CSO of blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, Jonathan Levin. The pair caught up at our Strictly VC event in New York shortly before the Gary Gensler news dropped to discuss the imminent change for crypto in the wake of the US election and Chainalysis’s choice to run its operations in the US.

Over the last few years, VC Ben Horowitz has donated at least $7.6 million to fund police department purchases – including the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s new drones from a16z-backed Skydio. Skydio is not the first of a16z’s portfolio companies to benefit from these donations, either. Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey and Margaux MacColl dig…

Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey and Margaux MacColl dig into the implications of Horowitz’s approach and why others in the VC world should maybe hold off on praising the controversial move
