HAA holds my gold!! THanks so much!
He is right…..but bitcoin and existing cryptos will not go away. They now have WORTH.
Cory, it is good to talk about cryptocurrencies and cryptotokens, but it is necessary to have both computer experts AND economics experts discuss the subject.
Most of the people discussing the topic in this forum are amateurish in their opinions.
Specific areas of expertise include:
1. Uses of Cryptocurrencies to move money across distance/borders.
(Bitcoin has first mover advantage, but is neither minimum cost or fast)
2. Use of cryptocurrency as a payment system:
a. For buying things. e.g. LTC or BCC (for speed) BTC is too slow.
b. For payment of labor. e.g. ETCH (new ICO)
c. As a quasi-collateral. e.g. SALT, PPT
3. Use of crypto-tokens as a funding source.
White papers.
Development teams
What to look for, what to be aware of.
4. Computer facts…. Block size, security issues (e.g. Quantum) Privacy issues (e.g. Monero)
Blockchain specifics. Use of Ethereum Blockchain….advantages over Bitcoin blockchain.
