Mike Novogratz said he thinks EOS could reach 50,000 TPS by the end of the year, so I think we will need big exchanges like BancorX or viral video games to push it that far, however i'm not sure how many TPS the mainnet can handle until we need a side chain?

I think it will boost the economy by having a more stable stronger currency which is not eroding away and diminishing purchasing power, for example the Bangla-Pesa: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2013/07/17/bangla-pesa-slum-currency-and-implications-for-the-poor-in-developing-countries/

Yes that is right, both platforms Ethereum and EOS but its built on top of the EOS platform that is the only way it can work for now, it will be getting released within a couple months

Bancor has announced their new exchange BancorX which will provide liquidity for tokens on the Ethereum and EOS blockchain, this will change the game.

Have you seen this article regarding community currencies? https://new.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/9g6oy1/localized_cryptocurrencies_are_now_being_piloted/

I have been casually studying Austrian economics for the past 6 years and I came to the conclusion many years ago we need a system, instead of using government and central banked pieces of paper we should all create our own community currencies to be trade peer-to-peer without intermediaries. I came across the very interesting article today on Steemit. It will be great to get feedback on it:

Great article, smart tokens are the next step in the crypto evolution.

I use Metamask and Bancor all the time, I think as more apps are built the masses will come too, whether they realise it or not!

Argentina struggles with yet another financial crisis! Is it time for the Argentinians to create their own crypto community currency instead of repeating hyperinflation once again? In Nairobi Kenya, Bancor has started an initiative for the local citizens to trade tokenized community currencies peer-to-peer without counter party risks. While Argentina is suffering with Dejavu.

Last week, the Blockchain Transparency Institute (BTI) published a report revealing that crypto exchanges around the world were faking $6 billion of its daily volume. However, they said that Bithumb was among the few crypto exchanges that were actually being accurate when reporting trading volumes. Are decentralized exchanges such as Bancor the answer to stopping this ever growing trend?

I have attached a chart of the performance of the ICO market this year, it is on a rapid decline. I predicted this would happen in January due the introduction of Airdrops and I thought they would take off. What do you guys think? Are airdrops and the bearish market the reason why ICO participation is falling off a cliff.

I have been seeing lots of community initiatives recently using blockchain; Bancor is doing a lot of work in Kenya and I know Akon is planning his own coin to help to communities out of poverty. Personally I think this is one of the best real-world use cases for blockchain, and one that we should see more of.

I agree, atomic swaps are the future!

The new dawn is upon us! I've been waiting months for this so I will be celebrating!
