Statistically, San Francisco may be taking a slight lead on the businesses accepting bitcoin as payment options. New York City, on the other hand, is at the center stage of blockchain and crypto innovation.
The financial industry is furiously exploring the technology to improve and revamp its business model. ICO after ICO are being launched either in or by the businesses in New York. Aside from large conferences, various meetups are being held in different pockets of the city every single night of the week.
Why is New York City primed to be the epicenter of Blockchain and Crypto?
- Large concentration of tech savvy millennials and Gen Z
- Wider acceptance of female leadership
- Heavy interest from the traditional investors
Like the avant of personal computing, internet and e-commerce, place and timing is everything. If you are at the right place at the right time, you can be the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. Otherwise, you maybe working an unsatisfactory job wishing for miracle to occur.
