How is it still a startup if it's worth almost $14b

[-] swlabr@awful.systems 10 points 1 week ago

It's probably worth 14B in the way a fire that you feed 14B of cash into is worth 14B

Yeah that we just go "this is what the stocks are worth if we sold them all now" never feels correct as a valuation of companies for me. It is all so illiquid.
