“Making a quick buck is not why blockchain matters.”
Decentralized cryptocurrency Digibyte is currently ranked 34th by market cap following a recent 300% surge in April, which eventually peaked at 930% growth over seven weeks. The project was launched in 2014 without an initial coin offering and is developed voluntarily without any overseeing authority, not even Tate. Jared Tate said that making a quick buck is not why blockchain matters. In his goodbye thread, Tate continued saying that he cannot count the number of people he had over the last half-decade stab him in the back in an attempt to use DigiByte for a quick buck,” he said, adding, “Even close friends & confidants. It gets old.” However, Jared Tate confirmed that he wouldn’t be leaving DigiByte forever and that he would now be focusing on building commercial applications using the blockchain.
