I find a lot of these sort of articles a bit of an echo chamber. There's limited value in advice that claims to be in response to the times, but is exactly the same as it was before.
The original title is not "Don't take investment" but just "The Era of the Entrepreneur". What I tried to point out is that this era marks great opportunities for entrepreneurs but that bloggers and VCs make it seem as a terrible time. Hope that was clear...
