But imagine, if you are a VC and you invest in a Brothel then you risk your reputation etc...

But if you act like an advisor for Mr. Evil Money, then it's not you who is on the hook, right?

Basically, it means they want to do something more aggressive and risky and maybe the opportunities in VC space are disappearing.

still surprised I haven't seen any revenue shares of those kind of businesses on the blockchain, ever since 2013's crypto-securities bonanza

either the revenues are that high such that nobody has a desire to sell some of the company, or there is a language barrier in the host jurisdictions where these can legally operate, or nobody has considered it as the incumbents are so comfortable with their licensing/turf that they don't need to change a thing

the technology is so much better now than 2013 and nobody calls them crypto-securities anymore, it is such an obvious use case for price discovery, liquidity, and acceleration of public policy
