    re: my question you answered - thanks!

    I once worked for an enterprise blockchain startup, it’s all part of my origin story, and my first competitive analysis presentation was about how we were making a blockchain SaaS that competes with industry giants that could bolt on blockchain in a weekend if it had any legs. I’d say every enterprise blockchain product suffers the same fate

      Hey lol, my origin story is also rooted in working for a blockchain startup. At one point I had to try to explain to the (technical gifted but financially reckless) founders that making a private blockchain was the worst possible way to do the thing they wanted to do. I can’t remember if I was mostly ignored, or if they understood my point but went ahead with the project anyway because they still figured VCs would care. Either way the project was shelved within a month.
