> The crypto-equity platform is enabled through bitcoin 2.0 technology

Oh, please tell me this isn't going to start becoming a thing people say. Please. I can't bear the thought of another "Web 2.0" buzzword bubble.

I'm afraid it's already a thing people say, and has been for a while. But unlike "Web", Bitcoin may actually reach a version 2.0, and at that point, the confusion will probably be a constant source of amusement.

I personally strongly dislike the term "Bitcoin 2.0" although I still use it quite frequently, primarily because I don't know of any other succinct way to describe all of the second generation functionality that is currently being built on top of the blockchain.

... "Bitcoin-based"?
