    I do not want to see my financial institution doing cute millennial cringe on the timeline. This actually destroys brand equity for millions of regular Coinbase customers outside of like 10,000 farcaster users who think it's cool.

    A father and son build an AI agent. The father tweets that they have $10M ARR and the son is rushed to San Francisco to pitch the seed round. At the pitch the VC looks at the boy and says "I can't fund this boy, he is my son." How can this be?
