Start-Ups
Ever since cryptocurrencies and bitcoin started to lift off around two years ago the number of bitcoin startups has grown exponentially. During the big ICO boom of 2017/18 they were arriving on the scene thick and fast with new and innovative ways of using the blockchain and tokenizing aspects of daily life. Many crypto startups did not make it through the long bear market of 2018 but there were a lot that did. Crypto unicorns were created and multi-billion dollar token sales occurred even as bitcoin fell from its giddy heights during the last bull run. Bitcoinist has been there through the ups and downs of bitcoin startup lifecycles, and will continue to report and cover new emerging tech innovators and existing firms thriving in this nascent market. Just like the years of the early internet, crypto is only just beginning and startups are all racing to bring out the next big thing for bitcoin.
