The BAT ICO is not a success story. It shows how f*cked up the current coin markets are. 4 people saved >50% of coins. They are not interested in the company (how can they communicate huh?) they want to sell quickly when the coin hits Poloniex. VCs are not over. The VC advantage derives from the real world experience and connections they can provide. Also no VC ever would have invested in BAT itself. Everyone knows, if there is an adtech revolution, it will come from Google and Facebook not an adblock browser producer.
- kolinko 9y agoBecause so many revolutions that were initiated by huge incumbents instead of upstarts...

- _pmf_ 9y ago> there is an adtech revolution, it will come from Google and Facebook not an adblock browser producer While I like Brave, you are almost certainly right. As soon as alternatives gain traction, Google can act nice for some time, then switch back to being its fraudulent self. Maybe Amazon has the will and stamina, although they are toxic towards self publishers (customer pays full price, but author only gets paid for percentage read).
