It could be easily argued that the promise of bitcoin (blockchain) will contribute way more to the betterment of humanity than anything ZenPayroll will ever do (I like ZenPayroll, don't get me wrong). But regarding bitcoin, the argument for increased transparency (public ledger), reach to 3rd world consumers who do not have access to a stable financial system, reduced overhead and costs of existing global financial systems etc. are very important and worth the time of smart, talented founders.
I think it's great that you believe in what you are doing versus what other "all-star" teams may choose to do but your comment is equally frustrating, IMO.
Maybe. I disagree about BTC. It sounds amazing in theory, but in practice I would rather help millions of small business owners.
When you talk with them, they never say (or say without knowing it) that their biggest problem is financial transparency. Or that customers want to buy but want an anonymous currency. Or that they need to switch between many different currencies. BTC has always felt like a solution in search of a problem. The blockchain is wonderful technology as well, but that's not the hardest part of most startups.
