HOW WILL THE WORLD CUP EFFECT CRYPTOCURRENCY?

[Klovezio]

BTChttp:// i was hoping to have everyones thoughts on perhaps how the world cup could effect the price of bitcoin and altcoins, whats your views, opinions and thoughts in particular on coins such as :

BTC
XRP
CREDITS
NEO
ETHOS
ZILLIQ
ICON
Oyster Pearl
CarVerticle
ENJIN
EOS

I don't see any relevance between the coins you listed and FIFA. I guess maybe the token used to gamble or bet winner will grow, but probability is small. Investor or investment amount are the key of altcoin market.

Regular coins will mostly stays unaffected.

But I'm expecting a price boom of gambling projects like SportyCo and Skrilla. So I invested heavily in them in past few weeks.

SportyCo is actually not gambling. It is about investing into and donating to new and up-coming athletes. Read more about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2211728.0.
Anyway price increase because of FIFA world cup is absurd... It's not like real demand for tokens will increase. The only one buying will be speculators and then they will cry because the price will drop at some point. I wouldn't mind if the price would get higher but I am afraid people who are pure speculators will cry and FUD then. SportyCo needs time for development of platform and setting up campaigns. And that will be real demand. But of course, everything can't be done in a month.

Anyway good to see some talks on Bitcointalk about SportyCo- SPF token which I see really has potential. BTW, they are preparing World Sports Blockchain Summit tomorrow on 10th of May, join us! https://wsbsummit.com/.
