Read the press release again, NYC isn't spending $200MM on blockchain, that would literally be insane.
They're just doing some of the usual EDC stuff, announcing some partnerships, opening some kind of coworking space for blockchain people or similar, the usual.
- JumpCrisscross 8y agoI’m a blockchain bear, but I think this is a sensible move. Once the whole thing crashes we’ll have entrepreneurial engineers who have relocated to New York City.
- CPLX 8y agoYup. Brooklyn has become a genuine hub and destination for engineering talent interested in working on blockchain stuff. I'm pretty sure the whole blockchain thing as a category is a bubble at best and mostly scams at worst, but that still doesn't stop this general trend from likely having positive consequences for the area longterm.
