Bitcoin ecosystem by design rewards the early adopters, since the more people use Bitcoin, the higher the value will go up. I also got the feeling that if Bitcoin does fail, it will go down in history as another Ponzi scheme. Which made m

Maybe because I don't know the full story, but I'm having hard time understanding why a guy who has built such great companies like Oakley and RED so hurt by some guy who makes movies like Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Good job on your research, but if you think these are "win"s, you don't know how VC works.

I agree. My favorite is Philz, but even compared to that I would say Starbucks is at least 90% good. I would even go further to say that their Americano is sometimes better than a lot of what those hipster-famous coffee shops serve (but it&

When my startup went down, I felt i was left alone, I felt betrayed by everyone, including cofounders and investors, even more so than this guy. But here's what I did: I shut up and spent most of my time making sure my co-founders and

@7Figures2Commas sorry to say this but "45 minute drive to SF" would have been less boring that the 10 reasons you gave. Seriously, I think I would do the same if I were in Ben's shoes. If you're in your twenties and can

Have you worked on a startup before? That's not how it works. There's no such thing as "moderate amount of risk". People who just read Techcrunch may think that it's so easy to get acq-hired, they think "Hey I

Yes I do that when it's apparent that it's worth my time. When I come across a new technology which I don't really get the point of (like this one), I ask around first instead of wasting my time to go through viewing the source and stuff. T

yes it was a genuine question. i guess i should have phrased it differently. I just wanted to know the difference (or benefit of this over bootstrap). I mean if a wheel is being re-invented, there's gotta be a reason behind it. (I guess "be

Oh yeah and there's email, phone, and all kinds of other communication platforms. They are all bad products because there's so much spam, right?

So... you're saying it's like Napster because it's open source? No matter how you want to package it, when you build something on top of a centralized system or content source, it's called building a castle on sand.

I would have still left a negative comment if it had the same title. The title is clearly a linkbait. I actually read through the entire post looking for a mention of Techcrunch but felt betrayed in the end. I'm pretty sure most people who

You probably emailed bunch of your friends and asked them to vote this up, right? There is no way this--with such a deceptive and provocative title with not much interesting content--would appear on the front page. We all know at this point
