    It’s a pretty easy formula. 

    IQ of people that says crypto currency is a great investment vs IQ of person that says Bitcoin is stupid.

    This is what's coming and it was predicted by the bible

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/08/09/you-get-chipped-eventually/547336001/

    Eventually, there will be only a microchip in your hand or forehead(AKA mark of the beast) not a zillion different ways to pay like we have now.

    I see the crypto's as having their day but govt will wont control and tracking of transactions for anti-crime, tax evasion purposes.

    I'll ask more questions, next time I'm up there (doing more work). Anyone have a good question to ask?

    Ask him what his favorite 24 words are.

    I think you have already agreed that there doesnt need a zillion different ways to pay as we have now.

    From the aspect of security purposes, there is just going to have be a way to verify a transaction with certainty that is actually occurring from that person.

     

    A implanted chip has all the right security requirements and will be simple and seamless and scan your hand and pay. I have a hunch that your DNA will be laid out like a barcode somewhere in that chip to be read. It is maybe just a coincidence that DNA electrophoresis just happens to look like a barcode.

    Maybe bitcoin or another cryptocurrency will be in the underlying transaction. Absolutely dont know and neither does anybody else.

     

    Whether you believe any of the above, you should believe that the US govt will not sit by idly and let a substitute like BC take it's place. They could squash BC in the US overnite by making it illegal for any business or individual living in the US to deal in BC.

     

    The govt is moving towards more control and nobody(including myself) is very thrilled with the idea.

    Can we discuss the December 28th fork and its implications? What is the probable outcome and is there any firm recommendation, i.e. all coin moved out of exchanges to cold storage, etc....

    You do realize that people have already made immense amounts of money on this no matter what happens in the future, right?

    This "dogcrap" has made some people very rich.

    Stick to 5 dollar 10 team parlays.
