From the middle of the article:
The Fortune report claims that Kickstarter’s controversial plans to move theplatform onto the blockchain in 2022 - which were met with no shortage of backlash from creators and consumers alike, and triggered an exodus of creators to rival platforms - came in the wake of a secret $100 million round of investment led by a16z, the crypto fund of venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.
I can’t believe I’m going to ask this really dumb question here, but, err, umm…
…What’s blockchain?
Hides behind shield.
Kickstarter is a farce. Those that succeed are the ones who already have money. It is an incredible way to launder money though. I did a kickstarter and I got over 60 spam bot emails and a few donations from friends, nothing more.
Whole site feels off. I should have paid 100 people X portion of Y funds to basically give myself my existing budget and perhaps get a few strangers to donate along the way.
