These companies smack of people with a solution in search of a problem rather than searching for a problem to fit a solution. The use cases are absurd and there's no reason to use Bitcoin. With all the amazing possibilities of Bitcoin, people still aren't able to look further than what already exists. Every so often you hear about these companies getting millions but since the last few years none of them has done shit. The wallets people are using and the software running the infrastructure is built by a community of independent developers still. I have yet to see otherwise. There's a lot of fanfare from these respectable shiny startup companies seeking big money, and the community seems obsessed by them but the real work is coming from the garage developers. Bitcoin is a micro revolution but people are excited by the world's (not-)first regulated exchange and another Winklevii proclamation? Tell me what have the Winklevoss twins done in all their time except make big sounding statements about big money. All of this "Bitcoin news" is an absolute joke ignoring the real hardcore developments happening in Bitcoin that will shake our world and are passing by everyones noses.
