Optimistic Capital

Literal: Characterised by or reflective of a positive outlook on the future, believing that the best possible outcome will happen.

Contextual: When you've got more faith in your startup's future than a kid in a candy store. It's the entrepreneurial spirit that sees the glass as not just half full, but overflowing, no matter how many investors say otherwise.

Balanced Perspective: While their optimism fuels their drive, they also navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures they're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. They celebrate their optimism, but their strategy meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for unexpected challenges.
Optimistic Capital /ˌɒp.tɪˈmɪs.tɪk ˈkæp.ɪ.tl/

Literal Definition:

Capital that is invested with patient, hopeful and positive outlook on the future success of a venture, particularly in the early stages of a company's growth. It’s the kind of investment that come from belief in first principles of scaling on the potential of a small business in a very large market and the human beings behind it, beyond just the numbers on a spreadsheet.

Expanded Contextual Definition:

In the grand chess game of business and life, capital is not just the coins in our treasury but also the knights and bishops of our strategy. It encompasses human capital (the skills, knowledge, and expertise of the people that we have access to), social capital (the networks, relationships, and social interactions that facilitate opportunities and collaboration), and more.

While optimism fuels drive, it is also important to navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures we're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. We celebrate optimism, but our meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for the unknown.

Capitalism

A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.
I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!

Cannabis Capitalism

The misconception that the higher the percentage of THC a product has = the better it is.

Thus disregarding the significance of the ratio for THC:CBD, CBG, CBC etc.
Person 1: Just picked up this 1/8 of weed with 30% THC, tonight's party will be wild!

Person 2: BS! That's just cannabis capitalism.

1hr later...
Person 2: 911, yeah so my friend is bugging out in the fetal position and keeps telling everyone they're a lizard...what?...yep, another victim of cannabis capitalism.
