A blockchain and a company are not the same thing.<p>A blockchain shouldn't need trust but a company absolutely does need it. Until the product is built you have no idea if they're even going to produce anything.<p>If they have a number of known entities in the space willing to peg their name to it, that's at least a modicum of trust that they aren't going to just take the money and run. It's not much, but it's something.<p>I'm sure you could cherry pick a few blockchain based startups with extremely small all engineer teams that you absolutely should not trust above some of these ones.<p>If team size is indicative of anything it's indicative of just how much money is being poured into anything blockchain based. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.<p>Lastly, the writer simply scanned the company's team page and decided "at least 4 of them look like they might be able to write code"? What exactly is that expertly produced opinion based on?
