That I change my mind about what?

What I'm saying is that very likely Bluesky will grow for a few years without making a cent of profit, and be acquired by another company. And this has not much to do with if they are a PBC or LLC or whatever...

This kind of stuff.

Or this bit.

It's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I see things differently. I just mean I'm not trying to convince you of that stuff.

% of VC-funded tech startups that exit via appreciable >$0 acquisition is actually not particularly high relative to total failure/success, which makes sense if you think about it. The odds would seem even lower in this case just for mentioning the word "federated," regardless of the tech.
