"In 2017, the project was purchased by the cryptocurrency company CanYa, and in 2020 it was sold to The Blockchain Group."

Does the article need to say more?

or you can criticize individual companies in the blockchain space, like this article does about the founders of the blockchain group

the government knows how to, but that’s why we have representatives, founding fathers figured the masses weren’t smart enough

but you can prove them wrong, I believe in you

What are the legit block chain companies?
you're not willing to discuss a company changing its terms of service to take unclaimed bounties solely for the enrichment of the two founders, because you think the sector itself isn't worth your thought?

that's a "you" problem, and contributing to the problem you perceive, if people feel like they won't be individually criticized if they pivot to that sector.

another way to think about it is if we paraded the behavior of every incorporated business around as international news - like we do for the crypto space - you would be asking if there were any legit businesses anywhere. its a representation problem.

staying on topic: most blockchain companies do not change their terms of service to take unclaimed bounties solely for the enrichment of their founders. most are not in the business of bounties and that has nothing to do with whether you would find them "legit" or not.

so you can't name any?
there are plenty of blockchain organizations I find legit, typically the people asking these questions are looking for a fictional use case they never imagined of which they are the target audience, and view not being the audience as invalidating everyone else that is. its an impossible standard to entertain, its not interesting to watch the goalposts move of them debating why its not useful to them, instead of legit, instead of asking why other people find it useful and then catering to whatever frictions they currently encounter….. like every competitive market does
I'm asking out of curiosity, probably just like the other guy. If you know a few Blockchain organizations, which you find legit, you could have just listed them.
If you buy into crypto in the first place, Coinbase, Alchemy, and Edge and Node come to mind, as well as the Solana Foundation and Solana Labs, also the Ethereum Foundation.
