For a bootstrapping entrepreneur, VC money is a drug and a distraction. And by calling it "Smart" money, the popular culture is attempting to turn it into a "legalized" drug. This is a really good article and having been in the trenches for many years, I highly recommend it to the YC community. VC money should be dumb, the dumber the better. Only by understanding this assertion, can one focus on what it really takes to build a company ... and it is not about taking VC money. Enjoy.
