Is it just me or does all this "Blockchain doesn't have to be Bitcoin" ideology sound like "Uber is worth billion dollars. Let's build an Uber for X"?
Even before Bitcoin there were tons of attempts at implementing cryptocurrency, and none of them worked. It was Bitcoin that hit the jackpot for some reason, just like how human beings beat all the odds to become the top of the food chain on earth.
I am not saying it's impossible, I just don't like how all this movement is driven by VCs, just like how all the "Uber for X" companies were driven by VCs, powered by naive entrepreneurs who thought just copycatting a successful model to a different domain would make them rich.
I just think in most cases these copycat projects have no soul and that's why they fail, just like Uber for X companies never become Uber.
