"Its very simple, either you cannibalize your own cash flows or somebody else is gonna do it for you"

I am a big believer of crypto$, BTC open up crypto$ to the whole world - but is it the one?  I've reservations.  Reggie doesn't think BTC is the one either.

However, at the moment, I view most of the so-call 2nd gen crypto as scams.

Kodak is a good example of this.

The company is the pioneer of digital film and technology but refuse to sell/market the product because of their existing cash flow in traditional film. It went bankrupt in 2013 for refusing to change.

Once a company gets to a certain size, it is run by more and more by accountants - not technologist or 'business people'

Sad state of affair.

Google and facebook is still run by technologist/visionary. Hopefully there won't be internal coup d'etat and get taken over by bureaucrat.

Legit example. Sony may end up the same way.
