I can't help but appreciate that they're aware that they're not billionaires anywhere but on paper.

Reminds me of a show I watched a while back about the dot com bubble. A guy was worth 100s of millions on paper and couldn’t pay a dinner bill for the company.

I remember that one. He was not allowed by SEC rules to sell any of his stock for a while. By the time the waiting period expired, the stock price had tanked.

It's paper so what? They achieved something hard. They could probably still get lots of cash if they wanted to exchange their equity.

I'm not knocking what they've accomplished, I just think it's cool they know they're not done yet. Makes me think more of Stripe than I would otherwise.
