How does he safely maintain altitude? The helium balloons will expand as he rises (due to the lower pressure at higher altitudes), eventually popping. It's how weather balloons descend. Is he counting on a slow descent after some initi

I don't understand why every company is trying to reinvent the wheel with their ICO. Initial offerings should be about price discovery, not minimizing FOMO. A dutch auction is obviously the correct strategy and would be trivial to impl

I remember my mom teaching me the phrase "like dragging a cow up a tree" when I was little, and I was never sure whether she was serious. I was very excited to see it captured here! Mom, I'm sorry for not trusting you.

I was excited to read about how an "org-less" org could work. Then: "We've grown from three to thirteen employees in about a year, to shrink back to four in about two years." And: "About a year ago, we've filed for the French equivalent of
