This is a solid post Thank you !!! Garlinghouse is on fire!!!

This is huge!!! if you don't know yet Lykke is for real & its here and collaborating with Visa no less! Considering the solid foundation behind Lykke this can only mean Lykke will be one of the first Crypto's ever to collaborate with a massive player like Visa.


This will impact the whole sector Lykke is shaping up to be a powerhouse of a crypto trading and expending market:

Global credit card giant VISA is pushing hard to dominate the blockchain platform. Lykke, a Swiss blockchain-based fintech company, recently launched a VISA-based prepaid card called Lykke Card.

Just like any other VISA card, Lykke cardholders will be able to make transactions with any of the 44 million merchants registered with VISA. The card will also allow the conversion of wallet funds to local currency. If needed, Lykke cardholders will also be able to convert the cryptocurrencies into cash by visiting an ATM.

Richard Olsen, founder, and CEO of Lykke said: “This means exactly what it implies…Anyone with a Lykke Card can conduct their day-to-day business in LKK, bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, in addition to the fiat currencies that are tradeable on our platform.”

Lykke Card’s product manager, Igor Rumiantsev, commented: “It’s already easy to request a bank transfer from our wallet app. But the Lykke Card takes this concept one crucial step further. We aren’t just investors in a global market. We also go shopping and pay our bills. Getting immediate access to our funds, no matter what form they might take, keeps us connected to our micro world, too.”



In the last week of October, another cryptocurrency payment platform, Monaco, launched a VISA-based pre-paid card in Singapore.

With the integration of traditional payment gateways like VISA, the blockchain payment systems are compromising on the anonymity of customers – unlike cryptocurrencies, payment networks and financial institutions are required to follow know-your-customer rules to prevent money laundering and funding for criminal activity.

VISA has also dived into the blockchain pool by scheduling the launch of the pilot phase of its blockchain technology based B2B payment transfer platform by mid-2018. For that project, VISA also partnered with many major banks around the world.

Earlier this month, Lykke also announced that with the latest update, Lykke Wallet would support the ERC20 token standard.

Moderator why did you delete my gif ??

Where is Mr Pumpertits we need to celebrate ?

Bahhhahhhhaaaaa! Congratulations now you can go spend all that cash ; )

In the future, do not try and rationalize the value of something you don't understand.

Maybe contact Lykke support and stop whining on board

I haven't had any problems with my wallet. I think Lykke is on the right track I can't wait for xrp integration.

I'm really confident in my investment in this project & I can't wait to see what this team comes up with in the next year.

I woud not invest in this garbage coin, no response or newsletters from developers after months is definitely a bad sign.

I'm glad I got mine today & i like the bonus.

Where will the sonm balance be displayed on my ether wallet ??

Funny how these guys aren't posting anymore, I'm reconsidering this offline supercomputer

The server is still down they aren't selling anything

Something of note he mentions in the video, is the company that brings an applied application of the blockchain to the masses that is where billions will be made.

I definitely do not think indiastack will be the world wide solution.

I'm betting on Ripple here.

I'm not convinced this guy understands what is actually happening and why bitcoin price is being driven upwards.
His mania theory sounds more like someone who missed out on opportunity rather than someone who made off with a huge pile of bitcoin cash And it appears he is promoting something called the "indiastack" .

Oh well will see if this bubble theory which is being sounded by all those who didn't buy early holds up in the future.

The price of Bitcoin has risen by 210% since March to over $2,900… and one of the world’s most successful investment strategists is warning investors to stay away.

Speaking at the Mauldin Economics’ Strategic Investment Conference, Raoul Pal—author and publisher of The Global Macro Investor, an elite macroeconomic and investment research service—said Bitcoin’s explosion upward is mania.

Bitcoin Is a Bubble

 “The explosion [in the price of Bitcoin] is mania. It’s people looking for a rate of return. It’s in the bubble phase. [Bitcoin] goes through this periodically… it rises several hundred percent, and then collapses.”

 In December 2013, Bitcoin ran up to over $900 and subsequently collapsed to below $250… it would take three years for the price to again reach those highs.

Exponential Moves Always Blow Up

 Pal, speaking in an exclusive interview with Mauldin Economics, made ten-times his money on Bitcoin and thinks now is a good time to get out.

 “This is the most exponential move we have seen. I don’t know how far it goes, but I sold out last week… and I’ve [owned Bitcoin] since it was $200. Anything that moves exponentially, always [blows up].”

 However, Bitcoin’s meteoric rise isn’t the only reason The Global Macro Investor exited his position.

Only 21 Million Bitcoins? Not necessarily.

“Bitcoin was supposed to be a store of value, you couldn’t mess with the formula… and now they are talking about a ‘hard fork’ changing it?”

A feature that has attracted many investors to Bitcoin is its built-in scarcity. It’s widely thought that only 21-million Bitcoins can ever be ‘mined’ into existence.

However, senior developers and miners are now contemplating a ‘hard fork’ which would split Bitcoin in-two and allow for the creation of more Bitcoins.

“Even if they don’t change the formula, the fact that they could? That’s enough to say it’s not a long-term store of value.”

 Pal says a recent development in India also changed his views on the crypto-currency.

Could “India Stack” Replace Bitcoin?

 “India introduced a frictionless payment system, [something] that everyone in Bitcoin was working on… this was [Bitcoin’s] great project and India went and did it for 1.1 billion people, fifty-times faster than Bitcoin and its rolled out and working now.”

 Pal is talking about “India Stack,” which will soon process more transactions than Bitcoin ever has.

India Stack allows users to open a bank account, mobile phone account, or share medical records at any hospital or clinic in India with your fingerprints or by retina scan.

In the March edition of The Global Macro Investor, Pal said of India Stack:

“This revolutionary digital infrastructure will soon be able to process billions more transactions than Bitcoin ever has. It may well be a Bitcoin killer or at best, provide the framework for how blockchain technology could be applied in the real world.”

What About Blockchain and the Future of Finance?

XRP coin running  !!!!!!!!!!

Here we go again !

How can you imply XRP has no value when it is 40x higher than it was a few months ago, do you realize what is happening here ? XRP is going to move again & when it does trolls will burn with their donkey piss posts.

I didn't realize how many uninformed idiots post on this forum.

But hey I guess when you have made no money off the biggest run of 2017 you might not be able to control yourself from posting very stupid sarcastic messages.

What a pathetic group of no money making trolls.

If you didn't realize it yet xrp at this moment is worth over 40x what some people bought it at.

Do you realize what that means ?

cryptocurrency investment news is almost everywhere but the question which is still unanswered is what is the % of securities investors vs cryptocurrency investors I mean could an accurate estimate be that only 5% of the world population is trading cryptod vs 54% who are trading securities?

And it could possibly be less ?  As this figure grows so will the market caps and prices of each coin so saying this is just an incredible opportunity is clearly a huge gigantic understatement.

Of course my percentages are just guesses.

Would love to see an in depth comparison of the two markets, hopefully we see one soon.
