I don't understand that author, where is Maidsafe? Why is Filecoin listed and not Storj ?

Reading that article has actually given me some more hope and optimism about bitcoin now. Had no idea about some of these projects. I still think the remittance market is going to be the biggest industry for bitcoin's adoption. Surprised it hasn't taken off already, though.

Terminated.

I haven't heard of the 21st one either. It's definitely interesting and the retail price is good.
Well another great startup is Coinfinity (https://coinfinity.co/start-en/). That's the company behind Bitcoinbons (https://www.bitcoinbon.at/) that I've recently written about. They even have their own ATM in Austria.

A Great Time to Start Something!

What is 21? Outside of a chosen few, no one knows for sure. But that hasn't stopped it raising a staggering $116 million before it has even launched — a record for the industry.

It's led by VC Balaji Srinivasan, who is a partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz — which was one of the firms to invest in 21's recent round along with RRE Ventures. When the news of its funding round broke, CEO/cofounder Matthew Pauker told The Wall Street Journal that it was working on "several interesting developments over the next weeks and months" that would help "drive mainstream adoption of bitcoin."

Highly respected VC Marc Andreessen said 21 was "working on what they — and we — consider to be core infrastructure for mainstreaming bitcoin."

Hardware manufacturer Qualcomm (who also works with Apple and Samsung) is involved, and many believe 21 intends to embed the bitcoin network into consumer electronics and the coming "internet of things." Five years from now your smartphone, your router, your laptop, and your fridge may all be part of the bitcoin network, if 21 gets its way.

Do I really want my fridge monitored 24/7/365 by the all-seeing/all-knowing Brave New Bitcoin World?

Very nice article link, thank you for posting it.

FWIW the below are the ones I am keeping an eye on, with a comment:

-- 21 Ledger (hardware wallets), I have a Ledger Nano and like it a lot. Competitors could probably enter though...
-- 15 Factom (placing document links on the blockchain). This could be big.
-- 12 blockchain.info (blockchain and BTC tools). Nice to use, but buggy...
-- 10 DarkWallet (enabling better privacy). I don't know much about them, but I want to learn more!
-- 08 Swarm (crowdfunding BTC startups). I am interested in finding a way to invest in possible winners in BTC.
-- 02 Ethereum ("Bitcoin 2.0"). I need to learn more
-- 01 "21" (?, but loaded up with VC cash). We ALL need to learn more!

Highly recommended article.

enjoyed the read
knew of all of them
hope you enjoy too

this 21 thing is fascinating though if pans out as some are predicting

21st point is indeed interesting, i never heard about it before to be honest.
They also have retail price lidted there so is it out already or is it just an price preddiction or something along that?
I'm currently on mobile phone so i'm quite limited to research about it.
