it's obvious VC will say "don't build for bitcoiners.", they want the masses, they want returns! Builders need to carefully watch out and select wisely when going into that direction.
Something that I've been playing around today was the https://test.angor.io/ it works similar to the big wefunder.com, republic.com etc... look's promising too, pushing stuff out now and then on github.
If Timestamp and Thunder Funder can do as you mentioned using bitcoin that way, they gonna be ahead!

My point is that it's not the way to get returns on startups. Today's massive companies, once startups, were not originally targeted at "the masses." The largest companies more frequently started by incubating in an interest group that was itself incubating and either:
  1. that interest group grew
  2. the startup grew its own interest group independent of the one it started in
These VC's would've told google to not focus on internet users because 99% of the world is offline.

That's why crowdfunding is a much better alternative than VC, true you don't have all the support and advise, still, when you have a small interest group in your side then the "startup" wins, as you said, because tech adoption expand and interested people grow.
