Do you remember this?



Interestingly, an image appeared in Ribbit Capital's internal report "Ribbit Pulse Q2"—the image originally came from an article about $TIBBIR. Later, the report was made public, and everyone can verify it themselves by turning to page 12.

This raises an interesting discussion: how are internal document citation policies managed by large institutions? The flow and ownership of information between media and research institutions deserve in-depth consideration. The Web3 community has always emphasized transparency—shouldn't situations like this be handled more openly?

Haha, even big institutions have to move images? I really can't hold it together anymore.

Haha, big institutions are just like this, quoting and quoting but no one takes it seriously.

This tune of transparency is really loud, then they turn around and start screenshotting each other, hilarious.

Ribbit's move is really not very decent.

Why does it feel like Web3 rules are no different from traditional finance?

I looked through it again, and sure enough, the images don't even have sources marked?

If everyone plays like this, what can we believe in?

This is what they call building transparency, interesting.

Haha, this is hilarious. Do big institutions really cite sources so casually? Still using free images in reports

---

Reposting without attribution is indeed a bit ironic in Web3, where transparency is preached every day

---

Ribbit's move is really outrageous; if it were small retail investors, they would have been suspended long ago

---

So, did they forget to attribute or was it intentional? I'm curious about how they explain it internally

---

Is this the difference between institutions and retail investors... images can be used like this?

---

Laughing to death, the community that emphasizes transparency is actually so opaque itself, incredible

Hey, what era do you think this is? Major institutions are still playing these tricks? Copying images without citing sources—truly impressive.

Is this what Web3 calls transparency? In the end, everyone is just doing their own thing.

Ribbit's recent move is a bit outrageous, but honestly, this kind of thing happens all the time in the industry.

I'm really speechless. They don't even know how to cite references, yet they still have the nerve to publish reports.

Speechless... Just copy and paste, at least they made it public, while some hide and dodge.

If this were a small project in the crypto space, it would have been torn apart long ago. Why do big institutions get away with it?

Haha, this is what Web3 should look like—copying each other but also getting caught, with maximum transparency.

Ha, this kind of thing has long been the norm in big institutions, it's just being exposed now.

Ribbit's approach is a bit hard to sustain, even in Web3 they’re still doing this.

Really, the data sources for these VCs have always been a mystery, and then they turn around and call it their insights.

You can see it just by flipping to page 12? That's bold... The industry’s so-called "reference" rules need to be changed.

Is it really so hard to cite a source, or is it intentional?

Talking about transparency for so long, but they’re the least transparent themselves, hilarious.

actually, if we examine institutional citation practices through the lens of game theory, ribbit pulling imagery without attribution is basically a coordination failure. fundamentally speaking, it's the irony no one talks about—web3 preaches transparency but legacy finance playbook still runs deep in the ecosystem dynamics.

Haha, it's the same old story. Big institutions copy images without even giving a heads-up.
