    His ad was gobblygook. He didn't explain anything about what his company does. "We are bringing Blockchain to the sports and entertainment industry" says less than nothing. What does that mean?

    If it's a gay strip club, I'm sure they'll be eager to tell you all about their cockchain technology.
