That Bloomberg article was a fun read. A couple of takes i have from it.
The article indicates consideration is being given by Kickstarter to the money going to blockchain organizations known as distributed autonomous organizations, or DAOs.
There is considerable irony, that one of those competing DAOs was created to buy ( a copy of ) the US Constitution, and that it failed !
The article also stated that “Kickstarter signaled to its venture capitalists that it wasn’t the sort of hyper-growth startup they thought it was.”
To me there is a considerable difference between the smaller projects that i think of when i think of crowdfunding, and these high rollers that are out to buy the US Constitution.
