All the things you listed amount to 10x less costs than the bullet trains. You can have a look at hyperloop costs.
When you're freelancing, most projects don't mean anything to you other than cash, so it's understandable that you don't find much motivation for them.
Have you thought about what you're really passionate about and find a company that you find really awesome and work for them? Maybe tesla, spacex, watsi, or a new small hot social media app are all very exciting.
Or if you always had that one problem and it really bugged you that there didn't exist a solution for it, ever thought of making a product out of it?
Like almost all dichotomies, it's a false dichotomy.
Most ICOs end up going up by 2x, but having the 1000x you described are very rare, plus ICOs going down in price are also not as frequent. Most ICOs stay in their price range.
Yes hair is a little less greasy compared to when you shower every 1-2 days and then not for 4 days, but you still need to wash your hair with vinegar and baking powder (wtf) if you don't want it to look greasy.
That's $3M revenue per year justifying a $30M valuation at the high end. How do they come up with $1B with slow growth like that? Is it because they have a famous founding team? Seems like a small startup with little growth potential, who can raise any money they want anyway, because their founders are billionaires.
Not hating on that, but how do they think of paying back their investors. Is this an ego thing, that they think they MUST build a billion dollar startup even though their revenue and growth is tiny?
Working so much loses its importance once your country already has those things, because it burns an entire generation, where people aren't humans, but just working machines.
Another really short sighted article by a very very smart VC.
If it takes the best of all blockhain projects, I'm all for that.
As in, you can't get higher than 1,000 using blockchain technology? What about 50,000,000 using blockchain techhnology. The point of blockchain techhnology is that any company can create their own token and have a decentralized currency, independent of banks or country legislations.
So in that respect, blockchain technology is at 1/50,000th of what it's made for. Peak? No.
