Unfortunately this was created because Wikipedia refused to keep articles on obscure altcoins so it’s very crypto heavy. That’s why a16z has jumped in I’d imagine—they very much drank the crypto koolaid and like the synergy.

This was also why I could never really see this becoming a serious product. It’s an SEO trick for ICOs looking to hype themselves, a far cry from a knowledge base. Mismatched incentives will screw up the value prop.

Interesting - didn't realize Wikipedia didn't allow such articles.

But in general, Golden seems to have a very strong tech bias - which is fine, but limits what it can be used for.

"On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article."

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

Most altcoins are not notable by the Wikipedia standard of notability.

Today, yes, but not necessarily in the future. Facebook started on elite college campuses, built its network, and expanded.
