"Buterin donated $2.4 million in ether to the SENS Research Foundation."
Well there you go, if Ethereum does do well then we all get to be immortal. Hoorah.

Regardless of how well Bitcoin and Ethereum does, cryptocurrency is an antifragile movement, it may be severely weakened by events but it's never going to go away. It had a value long before finance got involved with it (I still remember when a bitcoin was worth 50$ and I couldn't believe it then), and it survived the collapse of Mt. Gox back in 2014, which was the real test of its ability to hold value, not the 2017 bubble, and it passed.

Decentralized cryptocurrency is going to supplant centralized banking currency and NOBODY is read for how severely this will weaken the authority of sovereign states (except maybe the crazy InfoWars crowd).

You're a genius Mish, but if Taleb gets behind something, then I've got to side with Taleb.

This is always true. That's why you should only invest whatever amount you afford to lose.

On the other hand, put everything that you own into trust. The take out a bunch of loans and default. Besides, since loans are not really loans, but creations of new money, there is little that is immoral or unethical about it. In fact, defaulting might be the most ethical and moral thing to do.

Not something we didn't know, of course, cryptos can go to zero at any time, it's just like any sort of investment -- it could be worth nothing at any point in time and there's nothing that we can do about it. And  I mean this guy just got out of crypto, so his opinion is probably going to be more bearish.

Thanks for the old news about something so simple.

I agree with previous post, all can be dropped to near zero, but in nowadays more likely go to zero traditional investments. All world go to the blockchain

Let's hope Bitcoin only drops to $5000 or $4000 so we can buy more.

Have you noticed that he said "Crypto currencies" in general and not a specific coin? Vitalik and the Roger Ver crowd are soon

going to see how their Alt coin price are going to go to zero. Why, oh well... the Lightning Network with Bitcoin is going to be

the ultimate Alt coin killer.  ;D .....Hey, we can wish, right? If all these shills and trolls can spread FUD about Bitcoin, why

should we not do that?  ;D ;D ;D

Yes it could drop anytime because of its volatility. Cryptocurrency alive because of investors with more passionate in their investment in digital money. It has been a steady way of making cryptocurrency kicking until now. Though volatile investment gives a lot of risk to invest, it has a higher percentage of gaining a higher profit. Though cryptocurrencies price is prone to drop, i think it will not drop to near zero. There should be a specific value in which it will be steady so that the coins will not die.
