Not bad. Apart from the project itself, love how the site looks and works and feels - without js. Like, I literally almost never enable JavaScript and the site seems to be working... the same? Nice.

Actually no. We just wanted a cool name that was related to cryptocurrencies, but not necessarily had bitcoin or coin in it.

> 72% of internet users said they looked online for health information in the last year

This is incredible, but in my view, the problem is that people are usually looking for answers, which they can't be given due to lots of regulations. And no one wants to spend $100 or more on a doctor visit for a concern that turns out to be absolutely nothing. Yet oftentimes that's the only choice people are, essentially, given. Not only they have to spend money, but also time. And they only get information from one source (a doctor they visit).

That's why we created http://coinmd.org We've got some bad publicity and some good publicity, which, I think, is a good sign in general. But I honestly hope that projects like ours will flourish, as they open up opportunities to lower the cost of healthcare and make it accessible to virtually everyone in the world.
