"Why would they not just hire their own folks to build private blockchain distros"
I've said this for awhile to. These big institutions will simply create their own, not use ones that are truly decentralized.
Like Facebook, Zuckerberg saying he's looking into crypto and people are asking "I wonder what one he will use" and it's price will sky rocket. The sad fact is they won't use any. If they did go that way they would simply make their own.
Really tempted to unload my "8 bucks" worth of bitbean.....for 2,400.🤔🤔🤔
Haha I remember seeing BitBean awhile back and thinking what a name, I can't invest in that. If only I had of known that like 99% of these alts would get you some profit.
It was marketed for kids, family, fun....My oldest , @walky123 , is into LTC instead!
I am starting to follow industry people, like Lee Vorhees, and Larimer. Whatever Zuck buys I will dump.....just like I did facistbook.
It's mad how a tweet from anyone big in crypto has the power to pump a coin so much. John McAfee being one.
