I agree with your points. Transaction scaling is going to play a big role. I wouldn't neglect the store of value use case so quickly. Even if it only does that, it's a trillion dollar market. https://www.fool.com/

In the end, the majority would continue the established brand. For example, you can argue that Ethereum Classic is the most 'pure' implementation of Ethereum, however, Ethereum (ETH) gained much more support and kept the name. In

One of the main use cases of Bitcoin is becoming a store of value. For that use case, transaction fees matter a lot less. If you want to store/move millions of dollars and protect them against inflation, those fees don't matter. G

It is based on the application, where were you located before applying?

by rrecuero 9y ago
From the applications. Please note, that applications only started asking this question from 2009.

We, spaniards, clearly need to change this :)

You need to zoom in to find Israel. There are several companies from Israel

Yeah, we talked about it. We'll probably include it in a future iteration

by rrecuero 9y ago
The list is not exhaustive. A company may not be included for several different reasons i.e they may choose to remain off the record

Hi everyone, We put together a map that shows where YC companies are from. It’s based on the location of the founders before applying for YC. As a founder and previous YC applicant, I know how daunting the application process can be, especi

ICOs, in general, are really immature. The market is being exuberant and the majority of projects in the space may fail. Many people are taking advantage of the current status. The ecosystem will eventually mature and follow some guidelines

I think Coinlist and SEC approved token sales are the way to go, at least in the near term. Long term, there is the worry that excessive regulation would cripple innovation in these areas. Many companies in the space are already located in

There are many points there: 1 - Regulation. You can do ICOs and Token Sales legally. If your tokens are not securities, you can do ICOs open to everyone. If your tokens are considered securities, you can do so on Coinlist. 2 - Tokens nativ

You are right. They are indeed possible. It's a question of how appropriate it is for every use case. This must be addressed on an use case basis. You can probably write Facebook in a low-level language but it may not be the best choic
