(Bitcoin goes mainstream!?)
How can 'We' start Billion Dollar "Real-world" companies using Bitcoin/crypto funds?

In the past ~20 to 25 years there have been many examples of companies starting small and making Billions of Dollars (in both cash and stock) for the founders and early investors:
Paypal & YouTube are certain examples,
Instagram was ~1 Billion+ (?),
News Corp bought MySpace for $580m – then it was crushed by Facebook ... // Oops, the wisdom of paying big bucks for a website is beyond the scope of this post.  Cheesy

Edit:
Here we go!
Private companies valued at $1 billion or more. The billion-dollar technology startup was once the stuff of myth.
Today they're seemingly everywhere, backed by a bull market and a new generation of disruptive technology...

Now it is clearly proven that tech companies can start small and quickly be worth over a Billion Dollars!
So, how can something similar be done with Bitcoin/crypto funds?


Issues?
1) A trusted platform for new "shares" of "stock" or other types of investment in legit startups:
Are there any, or are they all tainted by a sorid history?


2) Using, or avoiding, creating an "awesome" new altcoin?
Something like (for example) MaidSafeCoin (disclaimer: I do not own any MaidSafeCoins) might work if they can produce a popular product.
The temptation is to create a huge pile of "new funds", by getting people to beleive in a new coin is significant, but can we hear about the other options, and what are they?


3a) I have not succeeded in asking one single, clear, simple question.
3b) If you have no clue why this topic is important, than please do not respond.
3c) I welcome all constuctive feedback.

Wow you got a long list there. But regarding your question the best thing we should do is just wait. It will just come to us soon. Bitcoins economy in increasing and expanding like a wildfire and soon it reach more areas more than it has been before. Thousands of users are already adding to the bitcoin community. With is substantial increase in price many more are going to join and price increase will go up.

You have to find that service or use that millions of people wants and then grow it aggressively. It has to be unique and it has to go viral, like the new Pokemon GO game. A lot of these companies also invested in aggressive marketing strategies to penetrate the market, and then things just went wild.

I find that tech development targeted towards social media grows much faster within the younger demographic and then spill onto other groups. The young leads the way, and the others follow. ^smile^
