1  Other / Off-topic / Re: Shouldn't we focus more on Blockchain technology? on: February 11, 2018, 03:06:58 AM
I was curious on the idea that the blockchain technology and not the coins were more likely to be accepted in the future. This being said, I think the coins using the tech are probably one of the best ways to get it more in the public eye to make sure it is understood. Of course you have those people who only care about gains who taint the "value" of coins.

One of the good examples I believe was with Ripple and XRP. iirc, banks were more interested in using the ripple system and tech instead of actually integrating their coin for currency transactions. I feel there will be similar developments with certain coins and the tech behind it moving forward. Correct me if im wrong on this though.

This brings up another question though, how would investors who just got into the space be able to support blockchain tech more then the coin? This might be an issue left for developers/programmers to work on (which I assume they have been for quite some time.)

Blockchain is not just about currency and investment, so investors are not a must. Open source project has been evolving without the need of funds. Something that is open source will allow other programmers to help the project, for free.

Ahh ok makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Personally, I would love to contribute to development but unfortunately I don't really have a background in programming, but its great to know.

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has seen the currency gain nearly $3,000 in a day - Is this healthy? on: December 08, 2017, 05:50:52 AM
The issue I see is that i've noticed people buying and holding onto bitcoin in hopes of making great returns off of it, not actually using the currency as the means of transaction. That may have contributed in shooting the price up so fast recently. Crypto is usually risky in general, but in the short term for bitcoin right now it seems even more so.
