    Have you actually used 3D touch? Because I use it just about every day, so much so that it's one of the biggest things I miss when using phones that don't have it. It also isn't touted as a major selling point anymore -- it j

    I think you're making two points: one is about SV as the center of tech, and the other is about YC and similar "clubs". For the second point, I think current ICO hype is going to have the exact opposite effect you predict in
