Traditional valuation methodologies are limited in valuing early-stage blockchain networks for the purposes of investment and deals activity. Valuation methods are used to attribute “value” to assets, technologies, intellectual property, brands, user bases, and resulting network effects, and any other tangible or intangible that can be monetized or leveraged to generate positive economic impact. Through Intuit Factory’s engagements, our team has found that unlike traditional companies, blockchain network-based companies have unique characteristics that require new valuation approaches.

6. Private currency
Per Wikipedia, in the United States, the Free Banking Era lasted between 1837 and 1866, when almost anyone could issue paper money. States, municipalities, private banks, railroad and construction companies, stores, restaurants, churches, and individuals printed an estimated 8,000 different types of money by 1860. If an issuer went bankrupt, closed, left town, or otherwise went out of business, the note would be worthless. Such organizations earned the nickname of “wildcat banks” for a reputation of unreliability; they were often situated in remote, unpopulated locales said to be inhabited more…

If you’ve ever read Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations (1776), you’ll know that Business Process Management is older than the United States of America:
‘A workman not educated to this business …could scarce, perhaps, with his utmost industry, make one pin in a day, and certainly could not make twenty. But in the way in which this business is now carried on, not only the whole work is a peculiar trade, but it is divided into a number of branches, of which the greater part are likewise peculiar trades. One man draws out the wire; another straights it; a third cuts it; a fourth points it; a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head; they could…

“In fact, recent reports indicate that many of these companies have begun the process of applying for licenses to operate in Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore, all of which are places where bitcoin trading and exchanges aren’t strictly regulated, and where the firms can continue their activity safely. For instance, in September alone, Japanese regulators approved licenses for a total of 11 exchanges.”

Blockchain — Why does it matter?
Blockchain is not merely yet another technology. Imagine being born in the time when a combustion engine was invented and railroads were mass adopted in the 1800s. It fundamentally transformed trade, commerce, transportation, travel, and war. It impacted how we as humans exchanged ideas, how we created people connections, what we bought, what we ate, where we migrated and essentially life as we knew it. Some call that ‘state of civilization’.
Think if the invention of the engine and railroads revolution didn’t happen, industrial revolution may not have happened. …
