Tech journalism just dropped another exposé on Silicon Valley's cash-burning startup circus. The piece tears into how venture capital has basically turned innovation into a money game—where founders chase valuations instead of building real products. Sounds familiar? Yeah, crypto isn't immune either. From billion-dollar protocol launches that fizzle out to VC-backed tokens that dump on retail, the pattern repeats. The report highlights how this capital obsession creates echo chambers: teams prioritize fundraising decks over user adoption, metrics over substance. It's a systemic issue plaguing both Web2 and Web3—when money flows too easily, discipline evaporates. Worth thinking about next time someone pitches you a 'revolutionary' project backed by big names but zero traction.
