"I'm not aware of any state so positively embracive of a nascent technology, to bring it someplace where it can grow here. It does not happen. So no more small state. Big vision."
Pulver, who helped shape the worldwide market acceptance of VoIP and is the founder and co-founder of numerous startups including Alchemist, Free World Dialup, VON, Vivox, MoNage and Vonage, spoke to the ability for blockchain to impact numerous areas from social media to governments -- and how utilization in good faith will be key.

He spoke to his own crowdfunding strategy as other players emerge, and where he sees the market heading.
