  • Startup: A Definition

    •

    4 min read

    What exactly is a startup? What is the difference between a company and a startup? Is every newly founded company a startup? Recently I was surprised that every newly founded company was called a startup. I asked myself the question of what exactly a startup is. For me, there was a contradiction between how I defined a startup and how some authors and journalists defined a startup. Is a freelancer with his own homepage really a startup?

    The common saying is that Bitcoin is an anonymous cryptocurrency. Some may think that it is even as anonymous as real cash. There are many articles and even self-appointed experts saying that Bitcoin is “anonymous”. I think that most people come to this conclusion because Bitcoin is indeed used in black markets. Bitcoin is used to sell and buy drugs, weapons, and even contract killings in the darknet. Yes, this is definitely not the brightest side of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, complete anonymity is with the current use case of Bitcoin not possible.
