- Silicon Valley believes you start a crypto company with traditional
capital investment and then transition to community ownership after
product-market fit is achieved. There is a parallel to co-ops here.

- Commercial site for IOHK’s digital ID solution built on Cardano.
This is a prerequisite for blockchains to get real-world traction.

revealing private information. This will be another prerequisite
for widescale blockchain adoption.
