SV

This. I worked in SV for 10 years. It’s all part of the “growth at all costs” scheme envisioned by VCs. Companies like Uber hiring literally a thousand iOS engineers when 20 would suffice. It’s mind blowing. It’s also mind blowing how easy it’d be to trim the fat and turn a profit. The problem is that VCs want to sell exponential growth to Wall Street to cash out on IPO day.

What does this mean for real estate in SV?

I am surprised I have few friends and ex colleagues in SV and all report how lot of tech especially high growth tech where spending like crazy with little regard. Things I have heard is New hires siting around doing nothing for months and people working on r&d projects which have little business value.

So I lucked out and was poached out of grad school (computational physics) by a SV tech company for a ludicrous salary and was able to buy a detached house in a tech city (Vancouver) by 30. The housing market crashing would absolutely fuck me over. BUT I still want it to cause this is fucking ridiculous. Almost all my friends are academics and professionals, talking engineers, nurses, teachers, etc., and basically none of them are able to buy a home or even planning to cause shit's just so fucked. The problem for us in Vancouver is that even if the housing market crashes in the rest of Canada and the States it probably still won't do shit to Vancouver. Our "bubble" has been "about to burst" for 30 fucking years.

> Silicon Valley is insanely libertarian. Not as much as it used to be. Dorsey was arguably pushed out of Twitter exactly because his views didn't align with the culture anymore. Just look at the difference in view between Dorsey and Parag, it's night and day. And did you just completely ignore the massive backlash by Twitter employees when they learned about Musk? SV is much less libertarian these days and more of a socially conscious neo-liberal vibe.

My favorite quote about it was from Pulitzer Prize winning automotive critic, Dan Neil: "Malcolm Bricklin, he of the Bricklin SV1, wouldn't be satisfied until he had forced every American to walk to work. To that end, in 1985, he began importing the Yugo GV, which turned out to be the Mona Lisa of bad cars. Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint. Interestingly, in a car where "carpet" was listed as a standard feature, the Yugo had a rear-window defroster — reportedly to keep your hands warm while you pushed it. The engines went ka-blooey, the electrical system — such as it was — would sizzle, and things would just fall off. Yugo. Or not."

>What so different between Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV? What’s justifying such a different valuation between the three? Network effects. Similar to any social network like facebook or twitter. It's easy to clone but each of their valuations is based off it's user base and their participation on the network.

lmao You're severely underestimating two things: how rapidly a lot of tech companies shifted to remote work and a decentralized workforce, and also that there are other tech centers outside of Silicon Valley. Some major SV players have already shifted to Austin. This isn't localized. Y'all have just completely slept on how deep the tech industry goes.

You may have that backwards. If you make a clone of the bitcoin network, everyone who had bitcoin on 1.0 network has the same amount on your 2.0 network- except your network has a fraction of a fraction of the security, and can be easily attacked for profit. Historically, holders of the 2.0 coin dump them and are likely to put a portion of those 'gains' back into the 1.0 network. There's countless examples, two of the most well known being 'Bitcoin SV' and 'Bitcoin Cash' which sit at 0.2% and 0.78% of BTC's market cap.

Can SV hurry up and do the thing already

Hardcoreposer7

SV vote today, and I'm curious to see what the price action will be like. Might've tricked both bulls/bears with its movement. Here's how I'm playing it along with some thoughts: https://twitter.com/nocturnal\_dad/status/1518949942923960320

Tfarecnim

What's with the dips on SV back in September and October?

Tfarecnim

SV puts are much cheaper than merger puts normally are, might pick up a couple for the post-merger dump. Judging by recent price action, people buying in anticipation of it being a low float means it won't be a low float.

showmegreen

SV was phenomenal and honestly I think a rarity. I can’t take these guys seriously if they liquidate, this one is the closest to deadlines of the SPACs that I follow at-least, hope they can pull a rabbit out the hat

not_that_kind_of_dr-

I actually liked the target (Kin) so I bought some warrants, and I didn't dump because so far most teams that found a target were pretty good at getting a second one (e.g. SV). We'll see.

im a fan of the uranium/nuclear investment, but SV losing its NAV and ticker change next week in this market environment is a recipe for disaster. i could see it looking like PL

Well it's not the only reason - at first they paid so much because they were trying to poach people from Google. (Who were both paying the best at the time and in a wage suppression cartel with everyone in SV except Facebook.)

kft99

The fintwit pump crew really fumbled the bag pushing SV before merger. Could have run it up much higher with 90% redemptions.

Junkbot

I tried to tell people... if you want to exposure to the uranium sector, just get into the ETF or miners. The only way SV is going to run is if uranium goes up, and that dependence should make investors go into uranium or the miners.

SPAC_Time

Agreed, *so far* there haven't been that many liquidations. Remains to be seen how that will progress in the next 18 months. ACEV was one of the definitive agreements that was terminated, now they are voting on the Tempo deal on May 5. And Spring Valley (SV) terminated the deal with AeroFarms, now it looks like the new deal with NuScale will probably be approved and close in the next two weeks. Yunhong (ZGYH) was the only one liquidated in 2021, and so far Burgundy Technology (BTAQ) is the only one for 2022, although CHP Merger Corp (CHPM) will probably Liquidate on April 25 and Alberton Acquisition (ALAC) may liquidate on April 26. SCVX is on life support ( and the Pink Sheets ) and looks like it may be forced to liquidate as well.

Greedy_Mechanic5801

I was a pre-IPO employee at a tech company that later went public. At this company, I witnessed (and later corroborated details I couldn't witness with a phone call to the ousted executive) the Board essentially prioritize their own reputations over the shareholder value to the company. Long story short: The ENTIRE company's sales strategy was radically shifted and reconstructed (down to the employee structure, including layoffs) to fit the new sales strategy of which the new executive hire was known to be a rockstar in. It was a major shift, and there was extensive discussion about this in the quarterly earnings call. The major institutional investors were GRILLING the new CEO about it, and were reassured by the CRO hire when they heard his name. The new CRO had a months old LinkedIn comment surface, pasted as a screenshot on Twitter by an activist, with zero context. The comment was essentially a response to Chinese spies from the CCP in US universities. He said something that at worst could be HONESTLY interpreted as excessively nationalistic, but certainly not bigoted in any way. However, the activist who posted the screenshot was in communications with activists employed as journalists at the New York Times. The Times reporter had called the Board members for comment, and essentially stated that whether or not there was a story to report was contingent on their subsequent actions. The Board terminated the new hire (who was already officially read in as an officer) and filed an official statement of misconduct with the SEC. They stated to him it was due to his "anti-Asian bigotry". The new executive hire had several orphanages in India he had personally funded, but this didn't matter. He was perceived as a bigot, and therefore was one. The misconduct filing with the SEC triggered the new hire's termination from the 2 board seats he had at other companies, and essentially ended his career. (He's in his early 50s) The stock tanked, to less than half its previous value, and has yet to remotely recover. However, the individual Board members all kept their Silicon Valley relationships intact. I know a lot of details on this because I had put in my two weeks notice a week before these events started to transpire, and had a bunch of vested stock options worth north of $200K. When I realized they had terminated him after the very tense earnings call where the investors were only calmed by his presence, I rushed to sell, predicting that there was no way they were going to find someone to replace him who could execute without at least several quarters of doomed sales. I could have been wrong about this, but it turns out I wasn't. Had I kept my options, they'd be worth about $88K as of today. The Board's members fucked over the investors for their own reputations. That's what SV boards do. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had these people admit to me in private that they don't agree with all of the ideology that gets pushed via ESG, but they "have to go along with it or they are no longer welcome at X". It should be noted that the lost sales momentum ended up creating a downward spiral at the worst possible moment, right as the company was trying to transform itself.

Whoever said SV Spring Valley, you woke boy..

CBarkleysGolfSwing

Happy to help. Always worth noting these are both still very risky/speculative investments. BBAI has potential to moonshot but dilution risk (at least float expansion) is real. SV is first of its kind with meaningful upside potential but also one geopolticial headline away from scaring off folks. With that said, I've become a uranium/nuclear bull as I don't see any other source for sustainable energy moving forward.

Obsidianturtle25

Thanks for the the thoughtful post, appreciate it! I will need to look into $SV more carefully it’s sounds. Was planning to grab a few flyers on $BBAI, but after researching $SV I might spread it out 🤝

CBarkleysGolfSwing

Difference between bbai and sv? Or bbai and Thca? Regardless, all 3 are very different plays. BBAI absolutely broken stock rn, with sky high CTB, high SI (vs tradeable float), and despite very bearish option flow, it still grinds higher. SV is a pre merger spac in a VERY hot sector. Only pure play nuclear power ticker in town at the moment. Upsized pipe with long term, strategic partners placing large bets. Thca, imo, isn't really a play outside of some fintwit spac furus trying to get retail to expand iv on their calls. The original OP on reddit was basically the "seed" for the play and it snowballed from there. I honestly don't think it's worth anything more than some shares since it's closer to NAV now. If thca were a viable play, essc is a much better set up but you don't see people flocking back to that ticker.

That's interesting. Sacks has shown support for Musk. Other SV folks like Andreessen and Arrington have also shown support. Certainly looks like a good time to buy some puts.

The ones voting would be the board of directors, of which represent executives of Salesforce, Square and other SV investment firms. Destroyed is a ridiculous term to use, slightly hurt their net worth is probably more apt. Taking a long time for stock to recover really doesn't destroy anything. A little over a year ago it traded at $70-something and "the market" isn't really hot for social media companies these days so without him doing anything it would likely take a long time to move up anyhow. Maybe all social media companies have seen their hayday and will have flat-ish earnings, hardly any growth and consolidation might be the next stage. Maybe Elon thinks he could kill off FB with some changes at twtr?

Putting fundamentals aside for a minute: The "Metaverse" reeks of tech entrepreneur hubris and SV VCs wanting to the force "the next big thing". It reminds me of when grades school classrooms would force kids to use tech for the sake of using tech - waste of time and taxpayer money and never given a basic cost/benefit analysis. This AR/VR vision Meta/Zuckerburg has will never have mass market appeal for the next 5-10 years simply b/c it doesn't solve a useful problem. It's very expensive, super premature, and cumbersome. We're many, many iterations away from a solution that can be remotely practical to the point people will opt to use it for daily tasks and can be acquired off the shelf for no-cost. That being said, Oculus Quest 2 was a great product. It knew what it wanted to be and sold very, very well IIRC. Overall Meta is very well-positioned in the VR market for entertainment. They're spending a ton of time and money investing in this weird MV bs, but if that doesn't work out they could still be successful if the pivot. Just matters if they can execute, and Zuck is a good CEO. B/c of that I'd hold, personally. TL;DR Don't have any confidence in their (current) longer-term vision, but they have good positioning for VR market which shouldn't be ignored.

Not sure what to say when you think people will know about SV vs URNM or UUUU. In any case good luck with the NAV play, something unfortunately under utilized these days.

sixplaysforadollar

Cuz everyone knows those names and you can take a gamble on psychology of people wanting to be “first”. So they could pile into SV under the impression that it is new and can catch up to other nuclear related stocks. Anything could happen as we’ve seen. My basket is mostly explorers still but I’ll take a position in nav protected play

Junkbot

We have different perspectives. As a uranium advocate, SV does not make any sense as there are much better risk/reward opportunities in the uranium sector *if you want to play uranium*. If you are strictly talking about a SPAC low float momentum play, then have at it.
