Well, I'm shocked that this hasn't been bigger news on the speculation forum, and I was hoping the price would drop a little before I brought it up, but Startup Engineering, a major online and on campus course run by
Stanford University yes , the same one where all the kids got rich making facebook apps is running a course on how to build a Startup from the ground up.
And guess what the major project is?
A Bitcoin based Crowd Funding site!!!Think about it over 140,000 highly motivated independent entrepreneurs are learning how to build apps for bitcoin!
Granted 90% will probably drop out, or have no interest in bitcoin....
But what about the remaining 10%??
10% of 100k is still 14,000 entrepreneurs.
Even if only 90% of those are failures or move onto better things
This still leaves 1,400 of the most capable people on earth who are now building new things for bitcoin.
An amazing number. At the very least we'll get a new crowdfunding site out of it that will trump anything out there at present. At best we could see a whole new bubble of innovation get spawned from this.
Not to mention the crowdfunding site in itself will spawn innovation.
I'm cancelling my sell orders. It's only up up up from here!
