Guys I have found a way to phrase my anxiety in a way where every single word is extremely load-bearing

I think I have found a new favorite way to refer to true believers.

I’m sure there are plenty of true believers (there always are in startup brain land), but even true believers like spending money.

It’s the risk:benefit tradeoff always. Sure you can hold on to all your illiquid stock in a private company with transfer restrictions, but will that pay for a house or even a banana? Does it ever not. The “take a loan for liquidity until you can sell some stock” trick worked for a little bit but companies are wise to that too now, and don’t allow it.

So people can pick between real money they can spend on stuff (or invest in a slightly less illiquid way) or being paper multimillionaires with no actual liquidity; not a hard choice imho.
