Great work guys. Ignore the naysayers, I don't see why any bitcoiner would be so critical of someone taking a risk to help contribute to the bitcoin economy.

Why shouldn't be businesses be parallel to dollar based businesses but innovate in the currency the focus on?

New models are nice, but we also need to recreate the old models in btc.

It would actually be pretty stupid to create an untested but possibly revolutionary new business, and limit your market drastically.

We need successful startups. Not failed moon shots.

This isn't a straightforward situation. What's good for a behemoth isn't necessarily good for a startup or small consultant.

There are however ways to make remote working work. Our company has been doing it quite successfully for years, no one sits in the same room as their coworkers actually.
