    That's an interesting position. The question is: why creating this hoax in the first place? If anything, the price of bitcoin has been negatively impacted by this. http://www.coind…

    As someone in my early 20s, I can say the young innovator myth also severely hurts the youth. When you're told you need to achieve X by 30, you may end up destroying relationships,…

    We don't know what made Jeremy leave the company and how he helped before YC. If this is a case Jeremy was present at incorporation, he contributed to the product (in some way) and…
