Thank you!  We intend to build a platform that will allow us to help millions of people across the country.

This thread will be continuously updated as progress is made and more information is made available.

It's mainly the rent-seekers that have the biggest problem with it.  One of BTC's main value propositions is its position to cut out the middle-men of some very large and powerful industries.  Of course they're not going to be terribly enthusiastic about it...

With the amount of institutional money that's going to have exposure via the CME and CBOE there's no way it won't have an effect.  The exact magnitude remains to be seen, but it will absolutely affect the market.

It depends which one you think has more value.  Ethereum is a protocol...Bitcoin is money.  You choose.

Ethereum needs these scaling solutions more than anything right now.  Very useful project here (for everyone).

I'm being very cautious at these levels

For some giant critical flaw to be found in the code, rendering it useless.  Or a well-executed 51% attack that destroys the network

I'm worried about the scalability issues this portends....  Too much too fast?

I've heard people call Bitcoin a Ponzi before, but i've never seen it explained.  Seems like just a trope

DEX's are so needed in the crypto sphere that I can't believe there isn't a major one operating yet.  To realize the decentralized, uncensorable founding principle of crypto, a DEX is the logical next step and is needed to achieve that vision

How many forks do we really need?  Wouldn't people just be better off creating their own blockchain instead of trying to piggyback off of BTC and do a fork?

The very fact that everyone says ETH is going over 700-800 makes me think that it will do the opposite.  Usually when everyone thinks something is going to happen, it doesn't, and it goes the other way.  Even though TA has been telling everyone this is going to happen, I'd be wary.

Breadwallet has been fine by me.  Never any issues.  Fast, secure, reliable.  No complaints.

It's both!  Similar to gold, it can be used both as a medium of exchange (currency) and as a store of value (asset).  It's such an exciting new class of financial instrument!  I don't think we've seen all that it can do yet...

Coinbase now has more user accounts than Charles Schwab.  And this is only the beginning.  The BTC community is going to increase exponentially from here on out

Since ETH is a protocol coin, its potential is so much higher than LTC

Somebody just bought a house in Texas with Bitcoin!

DASH has lots of really nice technology behind it, and some good benefits, but I think the main thing holding up the price is the masternode economics behind how it works

You can always buy less than 1....often people coming over from traditional investments (stocks, bonds, etc) seem to think that you need to buy BTC in integers.  Even though 1 BTC might be over $8k, you can still buy $100 or $50 at a time, and that's what I would suggest.
