Yeah, good point. After a while, it starts to sound like what i imagine people would say in the finance heyday of 80s/90s...

Nowadays: * Hey, go and create a startup that will make itself ripe for being bought; you'll cash out like mad! What's that? Viable business model? Long term growth? Pshaw, those are just details! Chase that dollar, kid!

In the 80s/90s: * Hey, go and play with other people's money on Wall Street! Start selling and buying companies, commodities, etc.; you'll cash out like mad! What's that? What are CDOs? Viable business model? Long term growth? Pshaw, those are just details! Chase that dollar, kid!
