Pros
* One of a kind organization * Excellent location * Innovative staff, volunteer and guest community * Unequalled exposure to real digital currency and blockchain development, developers vs. newsmakers in VC arena * Magnet for opinion leaders and those wanting to learn about the technology: US Sen. Rand Paul, state and local officials, compliance attorneys, as well as federal, state and local regulators, elected officials, candidates; luminaries including litecoin creator Charlie Lee were common * Massive media exposure to advance positive face of digital currency and blockchain, sorely needed in the wake of Mt. Gox, Silk Road, price volatility (WSJ, CNBC, CNN, IB Times); in the first six months every major news outlet except FNC covered the center plus relevant media from UK, Continental Europe, APAC Region, etc. * Plentiful other good that people will remember (e.g. Doge Party, EDM Concert, fellow co-founder Nick Spanos giving back to the community , Jenna Lash neo-pointelism currency themed painting exhibit), more
Kontras
* Unclear business model / information center focus * Staff churn (actually a positive) as staff went on to work as financial and crypto journalists, Kraken rainmakers, tech entrepreneurs, and more
