The latter would depend on the overall situation for me. I'm not going to stop investing at any point in my life, so the only way I'd stop being involved with cryptocorns would be if they disappeared or collectively turned into BCash.

Koko the Gorilla had an IQ in the range of 70 to 95.

I'd personally go with any other altcorn before I'd pick up BCash if BTC magically disappeared over night.

I used to play it for the "card roll" animation when I was a kid. Prefer Minesweeper overall though.

Legislation follows. If there's an economic incentive for using a blockchain it will be used, and legislation will follow along.

This is inevitably going to happen in one form or another and it's why I'm pretty much a perma bull from a strictly financial perspective. Believing in it (decentralization of power) as a good cause is one thing and that's what got me interested initially. But I wouldn't be going nearly all in if I didn't believe in a very high probability of disruption in the financial markets, and I only keep what I need to sustain myself for the next 5-10 years in fiat.
I just can not see equities not moving into the crypto space within the next decade or two. Traditional brokerages are expensive, inefficient, and annoying.

And then there's venture capital, which the average pleb never had access to before Bitcorn. Kickstarter et. al. were one attempt to change up the VC scene, but they were a massive failure (from a zoomed-out perspective, I'm sure the founders are quite happy). The next wave of crowd-finance had insane fees to the website. And now ICOs cut the middle man out entirely.
So as the market matures and we start seeing some better screening and perhaps escrowed funds that get released in batches based on certain conditions (perhaps via smart contracts) we're bound to not only see an increase in financially literate people, but also an increase in businesses.
Paired with all the other stuff that is going on and coming up in the coming years we're bound to see quite a clusterfuck of interesting things springing up everywhere in a fashion that would put the last decades to shame (if one ignored the fact that they were necessary to get here in the first place).

That being said, I think there's enough space for multiple corns in the field, so I don't consider ETH or other chains as a threat, but rather as a healthy driving force of technological progress and mass adoption. At least I can't deny that the hopes of "getting rich quick by buying the next Bitcorn" didn't contribute to the increase in recent interest, and will do so in the future. Gotta be thankful for everybody who gets hooked on Bitcorn, regardless of how they got into it.

Why are we going over the same old BCash nonsense again?

The CEO of BCash?

It's not alcoholism when you're shorting the market.


Does spelling really matter in this regard? Unless you deliberately tried to pronounce it in an "obvious" way I don't think anybody would be able to tell in actual speech, so it seems like something that would be unequivocally either bad or whatever to me.

Weren't you black anyways? (I was trying to poke fun of the leftist narrative in which some black people are being racist against themselves by not being black enough for supporting opposing ideas, which I find hilarious from an independent/non-US citizen perspective.)

Supply is irrelevant as long as it's fixed. It's just an arbitrary number.

MCO has nice looking cards and better conditions, along with more aggressive marketing (top tier sponsor of Money 20/20) and upcoming credit and investment products.

Either way, as already mentioned, do your own research. Never trust in what other people tell you to do with your money.

Good choice. Don't support ponzis and scams.

I'm surprised you're still alive. Without drugs you would've normally died from a simple flu.

That's racist.

There's a project that essentially copied Blocklancer that turned out to be a scam (Coinlancer), where the dev team is holding something like 90% of the total coin supply, has a disproportionate amount of (fake) "advisors" (which you will never see in any real venture), lied about how much money they raised, refused to show their holdings, lied about their team members, spammed their own thread with sock puppet posts, repeatedly ignored and/or dodged technical and other critical questions about their "project", censored critical inquiry on their Telegram, and just up and vanished into thin air after the ICO.

The thread that you've linked was posted by a sock puppet created by said scammers.

If you check his post history and timeline you'll find that the account was created solely as an attempt at defamation as a retort of me exposing all the red flags regarding CL in their ANN.
They falsely assumed that I was a part of the Blocklancer team, while I just exposed a scam like I'd usually would (refer to my post history to see that I regularly expose scams of different types when I come across them) and hence tried to attack this team as a result.

If you actually take apart the thread that he posted you should quickly see that it's a bunch of pointless accusations that are fully devoid of an understanding of corporate reality. Not to mention that resources are allocated within market standards. If the reasoning that this scammer provided was true that would turn not just every single ICO, but also every single traditional venture into a scam. And the facts are clearly aligned against his case.



Edit: I recommend reading the Whitepaper and the Yellowpaper (rigorous technical paper) if you're still in doubt. Both of which are far beyond market standards. And I don't mean from a writing perspective (the English isn't flawless), but from a content perspective. It's immediately apparent that this team has conducted extremely thorough qualitative and quantitative market research and successfully identified and addressed problems with the industry.

Welcome to the campaign!

That's patently untrue. There are many different classes of drugs, of which opiates are just one tiny instance. And even those aren't harmful to the body if used in moderation.

You could literally kill yourself by drinking too much water at once (called water poisoning), but that doesn't mean that water is bad.

That would imply that Farcebook was something nice.

The "regular" forum is a scary place. The discussions that can be found on many of the other boards generally fly way over my head. Makes me feel like I'm missing out.

Why do the Google searches lag behind the price in such a weird way?

This thread is very moderate.
