It's remarkable when stories like this reach the top of Hacker News, but then people still do not understand why one might want to build an application on a "Can't Be Evil" platform like a crypto network.

Scalability/costs/complexity aside — this is why Ethereum and similar decentralized computers are attractive.

They should build a hypothetical business with unproven revenue instead of the one with $600k MRR and growing?

How exactly would using a crypto network help with this story of the author creating a Shopify app?

[bluecrab]

I can't think of one single profitable business built on crypto apart from exchanges.

How would a crypto network help here?

[ergocoder]

Crypto almost always could have solved anything.

I hope this is sarcasm? Pretend Shell or Ford switched to crypto only. How much do you think they would sell?

[ergocoder]

The fact that we aren't sure it is a sarcasm is hilarious.
