Aphorism: BTC has an economic security vulnerability.
Explanation: When the last person who will buy BTC buys BTC, the money will stop flowing in and the price will crash. The price will crash so much that the miners will no longer be incentivized to mine the chain. The blockchain will stop. It is analogous to a game of musical chairs where all the chairs are removed and everybody false on the ground. This is how BTC will die.

Yours makes it easy for content creators to get paid for producing good content. Just post a link to your content on yours, and people can start sending you bitcoin. There's one catch - the people doing the paying aren't just tipping you. They are investing in your content, and get a portion of subsequent payments. When each endorser pays, they pay the content creator and one random earlier endorser. Endorsers have a reason to find and pay good content - not only are they supporting a good content creator, but they may also profit from doing so.
Yours is a product based on Datt, the open-source, decentralized network for content sharing with integrated bitcoin payments. Yours was written from scratch at the LAUNCH Hackathon, Feb. 26 - 28, 2016. The idea for "investing" in content comes both from Clemens Ley and independently from Coinbase. Yours is written in javascript, and runs in node.js and a web browser. Datt is a dependency and is used for the bitcoin wallet, content format, and digital signatures and hash functions. The Yours LAUNCH Hackathon team consists of Ryan X. Charles, Steven McKie, Anupam Mishra. The logo was created by Chris Robinson. I would also like to thank Willy Bruns, Jeff Flowers, Robert Schwentker, Paul Salisbury, Clemens Ley, and the Datt community for intellectual contributions and moral support during the hackathon.

Copay is a multisignature wallet being developed by BitPay's bitcore team. Copay has a number of innovative features that make it unlike any other wallet:
* It is inherently multisignature, meaning more than one person (or device) must sign outbound transactions. This makes it next to impossible for someone to steal funds from the wallet. If one person has their private keys stolen, the funds are still safe.
* It is decentralized and does not rely on centralized servers. There is a small dependence on two servers (PeerJS and Insight), both of which can be run yourself. The wallet files are stored locally in HTML5 local storage, and communication is p2p using WebRTC.
* The wallet uses BIP32, which, in a nutshell, means it's really easy to back up your wallet. Back it up once, and it's backed up forever.
* It is 100% open-source, both client-side and server-side. We encourage outside contributors in every aspect Copay, as well as with our other projects, Bitcore and Insight.
