Good points here, both for and against.
I am also watching the Brexit vote in the UK with interest. Coming as it does (23rd) just before the halving (July 10), we may see a strong move on the back of Brexit happening

Wait for Z-cash to launch. Use it like a completely fool-proof mixing service. Turn back into BTC and exit via Localbitcoins.

Yes, quite sure. Easy to check. Go the Charts section of blockchain.info and look at the price chart in late 2012 (last halving) and it will be quite easy to trace what happened

I agree that BTC has vast network effects and significant extendability to cover many more use cases but the fact is that there will be a thriving ecosystem of non-BTC cryptos providing specialised utility such as ethereum, lisk and arguably z-cash down the road

I am a better seller at current levels as well. Also a little worried about downstream impact on ether price if the DAO starts to flounder and lose steam.

At the last halving, it was several months later that a big price upswing happened. The market is a lot less inefficient and better understood today, so would expect prices to rise steadily post halving also. A big correction is always possible of course.

BTC has a hard limit, therefore arguably built to be a strong store of value - digital gold etc
Ethereum's monetary policy not yet set in stone, inflationary as things stand, tbd
BTC probably will be the better asset to save in long-term, without taking anything away from the utility that E brings

Are there any Hero slots left in this campaign? Is there a spreadsheet?

That's a bad idea. Your tenant may not return your account, which is why a security deposit is needed which comes with two-way trust issues. Plus as folks have pointed out your rented acct may get hit with -ve trust

I think we will see $700 before halving, and an extremely volatile move into the $800 to 1000 range by the end of the year

I use both for online purchases, but probably use PP more though as BTC becomes more widespread, I will dump PP
I am very stoked about OpenBazaar's potential to make BTC commerce ubiquitous and gut the PP model

User adoption may not be a break out exponential curve anymore, but still very impressive

Why have Ether exchange volumes fallen off the cliff in recent days? Wouldn't that usually indicate a correction is around the corner. That said, no way it goes to sub $1 imho. Maybe temporary fall to sub $10

Payment received as always. Thanks. Will continue.

I bought a couple of domain names on namecheap with btc

There will be significant volatility but I fully expect BTC to breach $1k before the end of this year

I don't think $13 is the bottom for ethereum. It hasn't been around long enough for that to be clear. My guess is a temporary fall-back to below $10 is quite possible especially if the DAO stalls short-term

I think ethereum's price performance has been great, just seems to me like the supply policies may not best lend themselves to ether becoming a good, long term store of value. But still reading up on it.

What do you folks think of Zcash as things stand? What would it need to be like in terms of design for you to invest? Curious what the community thinks

I use magnr at the moment for margin lending and things have gone smoothly including withdrawing to external wallet. But Caveat emptor obviously. They pay 2.35% AER at the moment.
