Well they say when your taxi driver starts mentioning it you've probably reached mass adoption and my taxi driver did in fact mention cryptocurrency to me the the litmus test failed. I don't think we're at mass adoption yet though. Cryptocurrency seems to rise in bursts of publicity and then falls somewhat flat for a while. It's like repeated dot coms

I don't think there is any evidence to that claim. There is also no evidence to say your prediction will not become true but to be quite honest I think the fact we are still around 10k is evidence of a healthy price increase. The fact of the matter is the fundamentals have not changed so I can't see a bear market lasting that long

Their api keys were stolen so somebody used peoples money via binance to pump a coin they had placed a large stake in. They then cashed out and returned the funds into peoples account. Basically a hacked pump and dump

I think you being retired is a positive! This means you have more time to research and a little extra research really goes a long way in this industry. Remember bitcoin is only a decade old and most of the current users were only introduced in the last couple of years so there a not many cryptocurrency specific experts in this industry.

By the end of the month people will start liquidating some of their assets in order to pay their taxes. So we could possibly see a further downside. Allot of the people liquidating will be the customers of hedge funds who got in last year who will not be able to stomach the drops

Litecoin is a good choice.

Good coins can get pumped and dumped too so I won't jump to conclusions

If its too good to be true. Its probably to good to be true.

Hi I noticed allot of commotion on my twitter feed regarding a binance hack. Binance have temporarily postponed all withdrawals. Not Ive looked around and couldn't find anything official regarding the subject. It was only a few weeks ago John Mcafee was FUDing binance so I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

It depends on your overall strategy. What price did you get in? Are you confident enough in your trading skills to short bitcoin? If so you could hold until bitcoin reaches about 13800 where I anticipated allot of money to move back into the alt coins so at that point you could move money into some good alts

Very cool idea. White parer is detailed and not too impossible

Why not do some research into the subject and teach it to the kids as a lesson to get it out of their system. I'm not really sure how much freedom you have and a teacher but I'd like to use this as a positive. Get the kids on your side but also share some valuable information with them on the dangers of cryptocurrency

I think a well educated population is the single most important thing if living in a democracy. That's probably why the world is in such a bad way now. Too many uneducated people. Even the educated ones are misinformed so the term educated is subjective.

100k in the next three years because that's how long I think it will take to take 5% of the gold market

No but I think it can coexist with state issued crypto. I keep reading about this future and I think it's a possibility

It was crazy seeing the price drop as much as if did recently. I still think it's fantastic long term. The fact you can't tamper with the blockchain in eth classic makes it better than eth imo

They could both do with some decentralisation if you ask me

It's currently got the best product with the lowest level of entry. I think eth have almost a monopoly on the ICO market for the time being so it also comes along with a heap of infrastructure for the people creating the ICO and also a market of buyers used to using the eth system. Compared to bitcoin it was unbelievably easier to run smart contracts on making the masses flood to their platform but it definitely has competition on the horizon. And the cryptocurrency space moves fast so they could be overtook very soon.

I think 46% is allot higher than I was expecting. Most businesses fail within the first year anyway in all industries. The majority of ICO's don't even have a working product, just the vaugue promise of a business. We consider it good if they have a white paper, good team and are active on social media. These are hardly high parameters so money is being given people who in traditional venture capital as totally inadequate. Yet over half have survived the first year in business in a market that is small when compared to other sectors

I've found out the hard way regarding security. So I follow some staple sucurity measures know. I store all my coins on multiple hard wear wallets and I also have the private keys written down stored safe. I think for online wallets you are taking a risk but there are a few with less cases of hacks than others. I like my ether wallet. I used to use exodus but the recent hack scared me.
