True (though the inverse rarely happens).

And for Snapchat we could say that they were unfairly targeted by Meta: https://mashable.com/article/facebook-snapchat-data-project-ghostbusters-mark-zuckerberg

Yeah I have a bias/soft spot for Snapchat. Raising capital to grow the business didn’t workout so well.

Meta just copy pasted and killed the competition

You need to have a great product AND you need to be able to defend against the likes of Zuck and Elon. I think that Snapchat just got outcompeted. This happens and it's okay.

If I were Snap and I was sitting on a load of cash, then I'd invest in platform development or even M&A. Not park my cash in Bitcoin. Idle cash is dumb, no matter the denomination.
