> ... did you not notice the everyone doing their own ICO when bitcoin was 20k? Are you saying it will happen again?

I don't think that's what they're saying. I suspect it'll be more like support for existing major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Either for payments or smart contracts, or other decentralized book-keeping.

I'm not convinced about "almost every tech startup", but I do think it'll become more mainstream.




There is like ~5 million people using crypto right. I could see this being possible if that number was closer to 500+ million


At 500M it's already mainstream.


That’s my point, why would a startup implement it if it’s not mainstream and can bring a lot of customers. Startups barely pay attention to China and India consumers, much less a cryptocurrency holder.


It said it would become mainstream, and in that process there would be commonplace integration. Also, I think there's some confusion if you think the startups would need to pay holders.
