the valuation is still $10 million… that is exactly how all assets are valued.
exhibit a, you just said your house was “valued” $70k higher.
nobody operates under the assumption that all their assets are worth zero until they magically become valuable when they are sold.
You cannot simultaneously have a $10 million company AND the $10 million in liquid capital.
If I only have a dollar and purchase an apple at a market value of $1, I no longer have a dollar, I just have one apple.
My apple is valued at $1.
BUT... seasonal rains produce high yield, apple harvest reaches record high. There's an influx of apples on the market and due to this supply shock my apple is now valued at $0.25.
I have not yet lost 75% of what I paid for my apple. I still have an apple.
I can hold my apple, cold storage, and wait until the market price recovers and sell my apple, which is not a dollar, it is still an apple, for a dollar.
If that isn't straight forward enough I guess we just agree to disagree.
Appreciate the debate.✌️

i never said i would have $10 million in liquid capital, i said the valuation is $10 million.
i just hope nobody on SN is under the illusion that one bitcoin will one day be equal to 1/21,000,000th of the world’s wealth.
that kind of math is off by 1-2 orders of magnitude.
