Yes and also about the bankruptcy of yahoo, they were a giant companies.
But it will also depend on the progress, i hope there will be some great innovations come from sphere.
There will always be room for innovations. Google and Facebook cannot possibly buy all start ups. They will overlook some, they will think some aren't worth it and this is the opportunity for projects like Sphere.
Sphere is a social media platform with cryptocurrency access, for now, that is the only feature that none of the competitors have, but they could have, though it will be harder for them than sphere, if if take into account that sphere will be used, at the beginning, by the crypto community, later on, it could become mainstream.
