Actually I think there is a far greater bubble in many other investments than VC.
US government bonds and paper currency for example.
The US government pays 3.6% interest only for 10 year bonds and the government has huge debt, increasing each year.
However I don't plan to invest the majority my money in start ups or VC funds for a few reasons:
1. It's extremely low cost to start up an Internet company and the barrier to entry is not money it's expertise
2. There are safer opportunities in real estate with 25% returns
3. I don't have access to the right networks to find the next twitter/ Facebook/ drop box etc.
4. The valuations are way too high (for my liking)
I would much prefer to invest in start ups as it's more fun, but for me it's too difficult to find a good business to invest in.
