The industrial revolution wasn’t only about technology. You need the structures capable of exploiting the new technologies when they come along. What is waiting in the wings to replace the company?

Don't sleep on the team at Suredbits and the work they're doing on DLCs. If you do, you will miss out on the fact that people are bringing products to market on top of Bitcoin that were previously thought to be impossible and destined for altcoin chains. tftc.io/martys-bent/issue-89…
