Bitcoin

Hey, It seems to be established only in countries that have computers and internet. But it does have a uniform presence based on the USD (now at $793) , in Canada, Britain and Europe. And other counties, but these are the ones I'm following at the moment.

Huh? It's at $10900 not $793.

Will likely rise up to $40000-50000 over steadily before dropping again. I'm no expert though!! Just my generally impression of how things are going, but I'd expect it to be invested in more cautiously given the growth in public debate and scare mongering. Also, the other cryptocurrencies are lining up ... I am more interested in Bitcoin Gold long term, but yet to put money into anything because I'd don't have any to gamble with right now (and it is a kind of "gambling")

Trade money for electrons? Not me.

Seems like the hype is dying down though. Without more global currency destabilization, not sure whats going to drive more general interest into crypto. Still, there won't be a dramatic bust anytime soon.

I'd agree the Hype is dying down for now - but in 2013 Bitcoin shot up from ~$30-100 dollars to $1000 -- it then settled between $200-500 for the next 3 years until this resurgence took it as high as $20,000. The blockchain technology has many potential applications - I think we haven't seen the last of bitcoin -- next resurgence could take it to unbelievable heights but whether that happens in 2 years or 5 years or more, who knows?

All i can see in a cryptocurrencies - it's a new toy for the game-addicted people. There are a lor of cryptogames in the net and people are actually play them. But it's like you're too lazy to go to casino tho....

I confess I don't fully understand the immense energy requirements to "create" a bitcoin. Looks like Captain Kirk (er, sorry: Admiral Kirk) has reversed his earlier opinion of bitcoin....

I am working on a real estate transaction and odd enough I was just given the option to pay the title company using either a credit card or a crypto-concurrency. The title company is already raping us over the cost of their services so I'm not surprised they would be the first I come across to utilize this stuff.

Man Bitcoin is getting absolutely hammered right now- -- but if you guys want free cryptocurrency without pay -- check this out!

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot.
