The best recent case that couldn't happen without a blockchain is ConstitutionDAO.
- coolspot 5y agoKickstarter exists
- capableweb 5y agoJust like MySpace existed when Facebook launched, and no one is using Facebook today. Seems the biggest Kickstarter ever was Pebble, which raised 20 million USD, while ConsititutionDAO seems to have raised ~49 million USD. That's more than double the funds, even while being on a shorter deadline.

- capableweb 5y agoAnd so does the multiple of IPOs that happen every day. Does that mean blockchain is useless for that purpose?
