The value accrues to much later stages. The odds of a 10x used to diminish after the early rounds. Idds that a $100bn valuation goes to $1t are now higher than a $100m gets to $1bn But VCs note this and they just move up the stack so it&#x2

Correct, I don't think we should allow people to steal and terrorize the public. It's not a minor inconvenience and every sensible society in history would remove these people from the population. I imagine you live in a nice gate

Why would it go down? The person is becoming more productive? Do employees at Apple salaries go down because the iPhone they're working on is worth less every year? Again, tie it to things that decrease in price over time.
