Do you need a blockchain?
One question I would like to see discussion on is about the process of capturing value by the builder of a blockchain.<p>Web 1.0 was about selling stuff. Web 2.0 was about hoarding data and using it to sell stuff. If blockchains are Web 3.0, what&#x27;s the model?<p>Bitcoin was released free and the designer got nothing beyond the initial stake, which only works for coins. Ethereum is run by a foundation.<p>Say I want to launch a blockchain startup and really hit the sweet spot according to this paper, how do I build a business on it?
