What are the implications of blockchains used for startup capital in businesses while tokens are backed by BTC as the standard?

That's a two column chart btc. The BTC column is just too tiny to see at the moment. What happens when a fraction of the money held in domestic markets is moved to a deflationary currency that is limited to 21 million coins in circulation?

Why can't you? Even that is pretty small compared to $60 trillion global or $25 trillion US.

I'm comparing it to the global domestic market because there is no reason for this type of funding to be limited to US companies. BTC is a global currency.

Assuming that bitcoin remains the standard for cryptocurrency, I expect that as this model becomes more common, the value of bitcoin with increase significantly.

The author, Olaf Carlson-Wee, who helped start Coinbase as their first employee, left the company to start a hedge fund called Polychain Capital which will allow people to diversify investment in cryptocurrencies and other blockchain-based tokens.

I meant to say valued against BTC as the standard. Cryptocurrency is not backed by anything beyond demand.

Bitcoin is not a currency

It's a speculative commodity, both legally and practically

Good point. Bitcoin is a global commodity.
