Health is important, but I'm not sure of how successful this would be. What do you think sets this apart from something like sweatcoin (which I don't think is an actual crypto), and what protections are in place to ensure that the system isn't gamed excessively?
2  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook accepts Bitcoin? on: January 15, 2018, 07:45:58 PM
We're talking Facebook, here. I doubt they'd accept any currency that wasn't developed in-house.

I don't think decentralized currencies will take over at any time, because if they got big enough you would have a large centralized body (like a government) dedicating lots of resources to take it down.

I think it's a good intermediary to spending fiat in more secure ways. I think it'll stay this way for a while.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you see the bitcoin economy 10 years from now? on: January 15, 2018, 06:48:22 PM
I think we're going to see the markets speed up. If top currencies don't adapt to new market demands (from adoption), we'll see them dethroned by copycats that tweaked the source code just right.

If that happens, we'll probably see a big correction in the market. Cryptocurrencies will become much less currencies than they are a type of tech used to help aid FIAT transfers.

Having a world currency would be nice, but I'm doubtful we'll see a world currency that is digital in the next few years.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hidden Gems For 100x 2018 on: January 15, 2018, 06:37:22 PM
I think RLC could be a slow and steady gain throughout the year.

I've also got my eye on ADA and SC, but those might take a bit longer to give solid profits.

If anyone knew the 100x coins by now, they would have already started pumping. If you want 100x, you might not want to shy away from one of the coins you were looking at that already pumped a little.

It could crash but it could also be a good long hold. XRP has a lot of hate from those who follow the original crypto-philosophies of decentralization and separation from traditional banking, but if it's utilized it could rise up quite a bit.

That being said, I don't think I'd buy in at this price. With how volatile the markets have been, you never know when something will "correct."
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins will survive 2018 on: January 04, 2018, 12:50:35 AM
I think BTC will survive, but only if the devs do the work needed to lower transaction costs and make it more mass-market ready. It has first mover advantage, but I'm nervous that it'll get outmaneuvered.

I see ETH and LTC as contenders for the top spot.

DCR, DASH, and several privacy coins (both in terms of currencies and hosting capabilities) are going to be fighting for a spot after that, especially due to regulations in some countries around the world.

I can see Sia bumping up a little bit, but it depends on if they get buy-in from consumers. Either way, 2018 is going to be an interesting year for them because their dedicated miners are going to be arriving.

I have my eye on a few coins that are up and comers, but cutting through all the BS in the whitepapers is tough. It's all up in the air after that.

Yeah, I wouldn't touch anything that I haven't at least read about on another thread. Ideally, reviewing a whitepaper is great, along with checking out the team's background.

Nice name, though. Not too specific. Leaves us guessing.
