Concerns about the Acquisition
Host of Cryptonized, Mark Fidelman, expressed his excitement at the acquisition in a tweet. He said, “(It is) very important to stay up to date on where the VC cash is flowing, especially in the depths of a bear market.”
Meanwhile, several other users expressed mixed feelings about the acquisition. The chief concern was that the insights would no longer be available to the public for free.
