Why EOS needs a top 21 block producer in Silicon Valley

Silicon valley has a long history of being the spot for entrepreneurs to congregate and build world scale technology together. Much of the world's best engineers, designers, investors and academics have lived or frequented the area in their pursuit of turning dreams into reality. This has been the case since the first transistor company moved here in 1956 and has continued over 60 years during which companies such as Intel, Apple, Oracle, Google, Netflix, and Airbnb have been built.

Today, some things have changed. Silicon Valley has grown rampantly and extended well beyond its original geography to include the San Francisco bay area. Decentralization is changing the world and blockchain startups are hatching their way in Silicon Valley at a rate that is unmatched in quantity or quality anywhere in the world.
