This is great news for the SDC developers and the shadow market project! It is proof that the decentralized marketplace concept is a viable investment for tech investment funds. There are numerous libertarian billionaires that could look to Shadow for an alternative investment more along the lines of their own political ideology. The "Paypal Mafia" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal_Mafia) are known libertarians along with Elon Musk who btw is also South African just like our development team! Unlike the OpenBazaar developers who are tied into a separate currency and development in Bitcoin, SDC has both a currency and marketplace to go along with it and thus have much more flexibility designing, developing and maintaining the system...
Musk- no way! If he is a libertarian, I am John Galt. Everything he does is fueled by Obama money, and if he is involved you can guarantee it will be kid-friendly and government-approved.
