From the opening paragraph:
>"Messaging app Kik staked its company’s future on bots and “chatvertising.”
then:
>"Kik pivoted to blockchain technology."
Is there actually any logical pivot from chatbots to blockchain? I am wondering what of your core tech in the former could allow you to pivot to the latter. Or is this simply grasping at funding?
- EGreg 9y agoSounds like it. When I heard Kik does blockchain I did a double-take.
- nothis 9y agoIt's like an episode of HBO's "Silicon Valley". I honestly laughed out loud when I read "Kik pivoted to blockchain technology".
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoThe genius of the Silicon Valley show is making what is essentially almost a documentary sound like parody.
