Yeah, maybe I was too harsh with the magic internet money thing. I still have fresh memories of when Bitcoin went past the $1000 mark before cooling down again. Just strikes me that the people genuinely wanting to use Bitcoin as an actual form of value exchange are overshadowed by people treating it as "the new gold" The notion of having a very democratically run autonomous corporation seems a bit too far, but I'd be pretty excited to see someone using cryptocurrency to invest and buy shares in a company in a more accessible fashion than what we have now. In other words, I think cryptocurrency could potentially provide a better alternative than the way the current stock market works, but I don't know if this is necessarily a better alternative. I'm still not sure if even polling shareholders for product ideas works, unless product proposals are done effectively enough to where shareholders have a very clear vision on what the company is going to do, versus someone saying "So, we have this idea for an IoT product. There's no physical prototype you can hold yet, but here's how we think it'll work".
