Ask HN: Why is the US the center of the tech industry? 38 by mastrsushi | 60 comments on Hacker News. Is it the historic innovation, American culture in general? There are so many other countries with brilliant minds, we live over the internet. Yet foreign companies are ignored for Google, Apple, and Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle. I dont hear anything elsewhere, China being the only exception. And they're feared, to the point where Huawei's banned. Do you think another country will take its place? Will growing internet adoption lead to growing patterns of geographic decentralization in the industry? Is it possible cryptocurrencies will cause a rise in an internet centered tech industry?
