If they want to be a part of the new wave of financial technology then they'll have to educate their people or be left behind. Venezuela has already created their own national token, Brazil needs to step up and lead the way for South America, otherwise it will only be used by drug dealers and shady oil dealers.
Creation of a national currency and a "token" by the government is the last thing any country and the whole world needs.
What benefit would Brazil have after launching their own crypto?
A centralized coin that would allow the government to freeze all your funds, dilute the coin as much as they want, print it even faster and cheaper than fiat and control and know everything that runs through the chain.
A survey from March 2018 found that 21.2 percent of U.S. college students have used their student loan money to fund investments in cryptocurrencies.
I think it's really a helpful step for students?
What do you think guys?
I really don't understand what this new hype with learning about crypto at university or college level is.
Once you're past the first steps cryptocoins are pretty easy to understand and spending 3 years or more with them is overkill.
Blockchain...that's another story, that thing ca be improved to a different level and has a lot of applications.
Trading cryptos, that's one thing I wouldn't want to spread.
I saw
BTC as a tool that would render Forex markets useless, but now we're creating another mess with altcoins.
