Going to be interesting to see which free plans get cut, prices skyrocket, or what companies stop having "open core" software. Growth hacks like these have always traded revenue instead of cash for advertising/exposure, and I think it gave well-capitalized companies too much of an edge where they can effectively give things away and undercut competitors who are trying to be sustainable.
Would've also been interesting if they had separate guidance for crypto startups.
The guidance for crypto startups might be to fold and return investor money. There are a few ideas which seem "interesting" such as enterprise blockchains for bank accounting, or smart contracts for inter-bank contracts. These help large financial institutions prove to auditors that they met their contractual obligations and no funny business happened. BTC will probably stabilize as a tradeable store of value as a hedge against "unfriendly" governments.
But there is a huge sea of blockchain startups which are trading alt-coins, or providing trading analytics software/exchanges for alt-coins, or simply making coins which have vague differentiators, or whatever web3 is supposed to be. I suspect that any crypto company that doesn't have a specific use case that customers pay for will struggle for the next few years.
