Here's Reggie giving a short rundown on what Ebay is doing and why they should stop tiptoeing around bitcoin.

Great analysis again.

Kodak is a good example of this.

The company is the pioneer of digital film and technology but refuse to sell/market the product because of their existing cash flow in traditional film. It went bankrupt in 2013 for refusing to change.

Legit example. Sony may end up the same way.

Once a company gets to a certain size, it is run by more and more by accountants - not technologist or 'business people'

Sad state of affair.

Google and facebook is still run by technologist/visionary. Hopefully there won't be internal coup d'etat and get taken over by bureaucrat.

I am a big believer of crypto$, BTC open up crypto$ to the whole world - but is it the one?  I've reservations.  Reggie doesn't think BTC is the one either.

However, at the moment, I view most of the so-call 2nd gen crypto as scams.
