Bitcoin can be used by anyone with access to a bank account and the internet. With that it is only a matter of time until it is used by those with ill intentions. We saw this with Silk Road, and it will continue to be used in the new Silk Road. It wouldn't surprise me if it's used to launder money in some way as well. We don't have any way to really track that, which is the beauty of bitcoin in the first place.

I was very impressed with this segment. He provided enough information without getting too in depth. Also he comedically showed multiple perspectives on crypto currencies. I thoroughly thought he was going to pitch his own currency at the end of the segment.

I thoroughly enjoyed that bit! I felt like they introduced crypto's to the general public in a great comedic and informative manner. Without being overly informative or overly pressing one side or the other. A great bipartisan viewpoint. I honestly thought he was going to launch his own coin by the end of the bit. Definitely could use more positive viewpoints in the news.

ONLY invest as much as you are willing to lose. Unless you have multiple properties...it s hard to be able to encourage a selling of your house for a gamble that we don't know if it will be profitable or not at this time.

Diversify your assets! Putting all your eggs in one basket is an easy way to crack them all.

Females have had the option to get the Nexplanon birth control arm implant for a number of years now without any additional implant side effects other than typical birth control side effects. Given that, I don't see implants for digital wallets or ID's being harmful to the body. We have hit the technological curve where we can do minimal damage with an implant. I don't believe the hand is the best place (seems uncomfortable since it's a highly used muscle system), but I'm no expert in dermal piercing.

My main concern is how it's encrypted and how would you be able to access it if it breaks or becomes faulty. Another one of those technological creations that you don't necessarily want to be on the cutting edge, but after it's been reformed several times over and the kinks have been worked out.

I see Bitcoin reaching the volume of PayPal, but I don't see it overcoming PayPal. Entirely based on PayPal's buyer and seller protections. Unless a company steps in as a middle man to offer similar protections I don't see Bitcoin overcoming PayPal.

Start by mentioning it in basic conversation to family and friends. Don't go into to full detail unless they ask about it. Eventually their curiosity will be peaked. Then I follow it up with some youtube videos that have visuals. It really helps to have visual examples when explaining a new concept to someone. After their curiosity is peaked they can jump down the rabbit hole of learning more.

Even though we don't know what currency they were paid in, being paid in a crypto currency is the most exciting prize. This is great publicity for crypto currencies along with provided the winner with a long term investment opportunity beyond the initial reward.

I think that this is a fantastic addition to a finance course. Juniors and Seniors are very intuitive and interested in what is going on in the "current world" market. Introducing this information at a high school level this will peak interest and hopefully inspire advances in the blockchain technology. Children are our future, keeping them up to speed on current events is key to our advancement.

Cryptocurrencies should be taught in an modern economics course. You could easily build an entire semester around it. Granted you would need a teacher deep rooted in cryptocurrencies to be able to properly educate. I think we are almost there with Blockchain technology making such the impact that they can't ignore it anymore. Not imbuing this on our children will put them at a disadvantage to those children learning it at a younger age. Similar to learning a second language.

Due to it's volatility I don't see BTC being used for small purchases such at the grocery store or for coffee. However I could imagine it being used for large bulk purchases of items such at a Sam's Club/Cosco warehouse level. Where large scale businesses can absorb any drops and use the market to assist in lowering prices of their products at a competitive level.

Absolutely. Even though it's impossible to predict what it would be, this is similar to the war bonds that our grand parents bought for us. However it has the potential to be worth so so much more than those war bonds are worth.

lateness is only in regards to what you are looking to do with it. You can start with a small amount of bitcoin and day trade your way up to larger amounts. But like any fluctuating market you need to pay close attention to where you purchased the amount and decide if its a long term hold or a short term. You'll never be too late to join the world of BTC. Just have to be patient and don't panic over any dip.

A hardware wallet provides the most security a wallet can offer at this time. I recommend a Trezor hardware wallet. However as previously stated there are also Nano Ledger S and Keepkey wallets.

This can be huge. Uzbekistan paving the way for blockchain technology. I anticipate to see how far they ingrain it throughout their society.

Mining requires a larger initial investment than day trading, but you are in it for the long term. Doing a little research before purchasing a miner can pay in dividends. I recommend using a coin calculator website such as whattomine, this allows you to gauge what is currently profitable. Beginning with Altcoins then eventually getting into BTC mining is a great way to get started. With a little patience, the return on investment will come!

Whats everyones thought? Good read
