          Stop using “crypto” as a synonym for Blockchain. Crypto means cryptography and it’s used in the communication between your browser and websites.

          Nah it’s just that it uses blockchain technology for some reason (hype I guess), but it’s not coin related. (Blockchains can be used for other purposes than money).

                Or leave an audit trail for a logistics business for example.

                There are a gazillion use cases, most overlooked because of the coin stench.

      That’s a great idea, if someone can bring the software and enough advertising to make it successful. It’s really hard but possible.

        It has already been done, that’s what the article is about: https://drivers.coop/

        Currently based in NYC, but getting ready for a big launch in Minneapolis in response to the incumbent rideshare companies pulling out of the city in protest of increased rideshare regulation. Big opportunity to seize some marketshare without needing that much startup capital if your better financed competitors are removing themselves from that part of the market.
