@GossiTheDog "#valuations" are just batshit crazy made-up amounts.

  • Like as if someone pays $1.000 to get 1‰ stake in it, the company is valued $1.000.000 by going reverse, when in fact that could merely mean it's a security on a credit / gamble and not much else.

  • I mean, a house doesn't get valued €100k just because someone was able to get a credit for that amount by puttibg it up as collateral in return.

The #valuation-based #hype doesn't do much except "line goes up" as a company before/after/between deals doesn't gain more assets or clients or orders nor produces more value, products, revenue or even IP.

  • In teal life, somethibg is only as valuable as the money (cash) one is willing to put down for it: A luxurious condo or collectible car is only as valuable as the highest bid it can attain in short notice! Same with any business!

A kiosk doesn't get valued much beyond it's assets as it's only "added value" beyond it's merchandise and interior usually gets offset almost completely by it's long-term commitments as in contractual obligations!

From the "I don't believe it, prove it" category.

"Elon Musk’s X Is Worth Less Than Half of Price He Paid for Twitter ... X is worth $19 billion a year after the $44 billion purchase",

Valuations?
$19,000,000,000 - I don't believe it, prove it
$1,900,000,000 - still skeptical
$190,000,000 - not buying it
$19,000,000 - possible brand value if a sale is a few years off
$1,900,000 - after Mastodon dominates
$190,000 - after nobody cares anymore
$19,000 - final tax writeoff
$1,900 - after donation to Smithsonian tech museum
$190 - what was twitter?
$19 - no thanks, I'll buy a pizza
$1.90 - now that's the right valuation
