Cryptocurrency is Revolutionary, and Everyone Should Own Some. Let Me Explain.

1  2018-09-20 by TheCrunk1

Cryptocurrency Insulates the Owner from National Currency Hyperinflation, Like We Are Seeing in Venezuela.

One Ether is Worth the Same in China, in Germany, in America, in Bolivia, in Japan, in Australia.

The Only Other Asset that the Same can be Said About are Precious Metals.

Cryptocurrency is Unique.

It is Easier to Transport than Precious Metals, as It Lives on the Internet.

No One Knows You Own Cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency Is a Supranational Currency.

Gold can be Stolen.

Paper Money Can be Deemed Worthless Internationally through Hyperinflation.

Cryptocurrency Can be Used Anywhere; Cryptocurrency Can cross International Barriers.

Cryptocurrency is Revolutionary, and Everyone Should Own Some.

Do Your Own Research into It.

Buy gold /s

It's good to own some gold but they have been busted manipulating the price/market of precious metals so many times...

/s = sarcasm

Ah, I missed that.

i reckon the biggest danger with cryptos stems from the fact that their value can drop at any time

one could potentially have bought a bitcoin for $A20,000 a few months ago and then find that by the end of this year it can be sold for only $A2,000

It's something to consider yes before buying...

The same can be said of other currencies and asset classes, the only difference is the level of volatility.

Cryptocurrencies will become more stable / less volatile as adoption and liquidity increases.

My biggest concern with crypto, is that much of it is deflationary by design. If Bitcoin were to become the most widely adopted currency worldwide at some point in the future, people would soon be aware that the value of 1 Bitcoin is always going to increase. This would dissuade people from actually spending any as it will be worth more in future. If nobody is spending any money, then global production would collapse.

Of course not all cryptos are deflationary, but who in their right mind would adopt crypto which doesnt increase in value (or even decreases) when currencies like Bitcoin are almost guaranteed to become more valuable over time?

wont hit 2k, miners will likely hodl before selling at a loss ( mining cost world avg is approx 500 USD)

Problem with bitcoin and friends is absolutely wild price swings. Up to 4% daily. How can you hold a currency which is so volatile?

That's a good point, I think it will stabilize into a world wide currency, it would allow more freedom for people, which is of course the last thing world wide establishments want, which is exactly one of the reasons it is so revolutionary.

If you think about it, the similarities between cryptocurrency and the nwo style "credits" we see in shows like star wars, it seems highly likely that bitcoin was created as a precursor to this "credit" system. All systems that come with the ability to ultimately control people.

The guy who created bitcoin is quite a mystery, but there is a little information about him, it all seems to be shrouded in secrecy.

It may be boring but it's impressive that Goodman apparently succeeded where others have failed. While Dorian S. Nakamoto refused to talk at length with her, she did interview many people in his life, including his brothers, children, ex-wife, and former colleagues, all of whom found the idea that he is Bitcoin's creator compelling given his libertarian views, background as a computer engineer and work on classified military projects.

Why this big mystery around the creation of bitcoin?

I feel the same there's a pretty good chance the NSA was involved. Privacy coins* are a different matter.

*= I can only speak knowledgeably about cryptonote protocol coins, I'm familiar with the codebase and it has been verified several times by third parties.

Ever heard of the guy who made the liberty dollar? What happened to him? Do you know?

No One Knows You Own Cryptocurrency.

Except the banks.

Gold can be Stolen.

And crypto can be hacked.

This shouldn't even be a point... Like, no shit bruh.

Paper Money Can be Deemed Worthless Internationally through Hyperinflation.

HEY HEY HEEEEEY, WASSOWASSOWA-SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP

Cryptocurrency Can be Used Anywhere; Cryptocurrency Can cross International Barriers.

As can most currencies :/

The banks do not know who owns what cryptocurrency, nor do they have a reasonable way of finding out.

The Venezuelan Bolivar and the Nigerian Naira are worthless in Europe, Bitcoin and Ether are not.

The can see on the credit card bill, they are doing this as they don't want to cause a domestic debt crisis, Where vast swathes of their populace are buying cryptocurrencies on credit.

Look at all the darknet arrests, public ledgers aren't safe from gov/TPTB.

Which Cryptocurrency company do you work for?

None.

Both ethereum founders have put forth some very pedo-friendly views. Any coin with a public ledger ( ie not a privacy coin) is bad money. Most addresses are publicly viewable and have a full record of all transactions ever. Can you imagine if you could view someone's checking account like that?

Caveat: I'm a privacy advocate and develop a coin

Excuse me?

Vitalik was trying to prove a point.

Any currency that is not backed by a hard asset will fail.

the issue that you really have is that a normal person thinks it magic and too hard to figure out. That's me. I don't want to take the time to learn about it, or even invest in it. If there was a program that I could push a button and then buy and sell, that would be awesome. The other issue is if I want to take my money out, I have to wait. I should be able to push a button and an auto sell happens and then it gets deposited into my account. It's way too hard for us normal people to figure out.

Coinbase is pretty intuitive and user friendly

By the time theres a 1 button program its too late and youll be buying in at prices with everyone else who thought it was too hard to figure out.

I think we are past that point. The hedge funds already came and went. We will never see it like that time again unless they want us too.

Don't Capitalize Every Word.

AT LEAST IT ISN'T ALL CAPS
