in #blockchain6 years ago

Kik CEO Ted Livingston raised nearly USD 100 million by offering cryptographic money a year ago. This year, he's notice individuals from blockchain - the innovation that made everything conceivable.

"Nearly no one ought to take a gander at blockchain," he said at the True North tech meeting in Waterloo a week ago. "Unless you're attempting to manufacture a standout amongst the most-utilized digital forms of money on the planet, it's low chances that blockchain will make an incentive for you."

When talking with the Financial Post about Kin, the cryptographic money made for his Kik informing application, he said he's not persuaded that there are a mess of viable applications for blockchain innovation other than Bitcoin and different digital currencies. His own particular undertaking, in the interim, detailed specialized issues after the underlying coin offering (ICO) and evidently needed to return and do everything without any preparation.

The Twitter people group isn't awed with his words: as @cryptonizuka puts it, "Blockchain is just "persuading" when you can go around securities law, raise USD 100 million printing your own cash, and knowing very well indeed that ICOs will be given a go from controllers under the pretense of 'not smothering development.'"

Another client - @efipm-asks what he's truly saying with this announcement, just to get the answer, "What he is stating, I trust: 'I took your cash and wasted it on activities and innovation I don't get it.'"

While Meltem Demirors, a crypto financial specialist, Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares, a crypto centered venture organization, tweeted "Would someone be able to get this man a PR firm? this is the thing that happens when you give individuals who have positively no presence of mind or mindfulness a flat out fuck ton of cash."

I don't see the problem.... He is right. The overwhelming majority of blockchain projects are a bad fit and merely opportunists attempting to capitalise on the hype just like the dotcom boom.
I think he should be lauded for speaking the truth.
