I too wonder why not more of them. Usually they are everywhere there, where a tech bubble can be pumped...

I know at least 3 projects from Silicon Valley. I think there are a lot projects which are correlated with SV.

What are those 3 projects?

because they are too busy slaving away at amazon

Haha... I might agree, except Amazon is located in Seattle, not Silicon Valley.

Seriously though, has the US lost it's edge?

Because most ICOs only exist to circumvent the securities laws in the US. If you have a legitimate business idea in SV you can get much more money going the traditional route of VCs.

Why do you think so few ICOs are out of Silicon Valley??

Silicon Valley obviously led the last wave of tech development (roughly 1990 - 2010). There's a great deal of entrepreneurship there. There's one of the highest concentration of code developers there, if not the highest concentration in the world. There's venture cap, there's incubators, there's just about everything you should need to be leading the next wave.

And yet... so many of the ICOs are not from the San Fran bay area! In fact, most of the really big, promising ones are not even remotely related to California and often not even the USA. Why do you guys think that is??
