I like that one on Unikrn, I found it very interesting as well.2 articles I wanted to share on Ether and also ICO's that I read in Forbes this month.
The Emperor's New Coins: How Initial Coin Offerings Fueled A $100 Billion Crypto Bubble
I'd also like to share this to the forum that I found very interesting
Celebrity Investor Mark Cuban is About to Participate in His First ICO - CoinDesk
Disclosure: I hold no positions in ether, bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency.
Not really. Debit cards cost very little to process.
It actually costs merchants about $16B a year to accept debit cards, I don't consider it's *very little* to be honest.
My point is that it's not trivial, especially in micropayment. If you have a charge of $10, the average fee is a little more than 2% (don't forget the fixed flat fee).Yeah, but compared to the 2.3 trillion in debit card transactions, it works out to be 0.6 cents per dollar. I know with my merchant account I don't get charged swipe fees and pay 0% on all Pin-based debit card transactions. It's the credit card fees that get you.
I ve read your posts and maybe you writing about this. But i See you trading this ETH and others ones in market buy/sell. Does anyone thinkig about own miners (few computers with a lot of graphic cards) i think its , better way than buy preorder and sell.
So...I know this thread had been focused on investing in ETH, but what entrepreneurs should really be focusing on is how we can serve the the crypto market?
What makes it a decent market? It's new and a lot of people don't know much about it - check! It also has its problems - check! There's a possibility that the future of this market could be HUGE - check!
Now, where does the real opportunity exist. I can tell you that for guys like me that take educated risk, it's probably isn't in trading the stuff. No doubt, there are some people getting wealthy (oh weeeee) but it's more likely that people are getting burned big time trading it.
What I find fascinating about cryptos is, aside from the ups and downs of the market and even if you were comfortable with making an investment, you still have to be comfortable with knowing how to actually execute that investment. Like, you can't just go to fidelity and put a purchase order in. You have to know how to use wallets safely or trust that exchanges like kraken are in your best interest (which I don't).
Opportunity 1. Teach people how to do this stuff. Guides, Courses, Ebooks, Groups.
There's also got to be thousands of people out there that probably want to make an investment but want to spread there investment out. Or, maybe they're concerned with using exchanges to execute their orders. I expect to see a lot of holding companies forming with multiple coins/currencies reducing the risk of executing an odder and spreading out the risk for the investor similar to the way mutual funds work.
Opportunity 2. If you're already successful trading this stuff, a holding company might be a good idea.
I also think there is going to be a opportunity for cyber security here - there already is. It's funny, cryptos are supposed to be super secure but yet all you hear about is hacking and money lost.
Opportunity 3. Crypto security firms
Look at the startup world. ICO's are happening. Again, I'm not talking about trading this stuff but if that's you fine. I'm talking about helping startups, businesses raise money with their ICO's.
Opportunity 4. Helping companies market their ICO's, create their own coins, etc.
Just trying to spur some creative thinking outside the realm of trading this stuff and where the real opportunities are.
I hold zero investments in crypto currency.
what exchange can you get it onI'm all in(to) NEO currently, there is just a article posted on Forbes even
They call it the "Chinese Ethereum", the smart contracts can be developed in C#, what enables much more developers to build on it.
I bought it at 7 dollars, 2 weeks ago, it just hit 33,40 a second ago and it isn't stopping. Holding it long term
You need to buy BTC or ETH on a site like coinbase (there are better ones tho, I used litebit.eu but they got hacked once lol).what exchange can you get it on
It's true, there is a lot of speculation right now, if you just know how to profit of it you can make good $Cryptocurrency trading is for chumps, apparently.
Investors-poured-millions-into-a-storage-network-that-doesnt-exist
$53 million raised on a white paper alone. Nothing is built yet. The ICO hasn't happened yet (the money raised is basically an IOU for the ICO). This is shaping up to be a bigger craze then the initial .COM frenzy in the late 90's. Anyone with a half-baked idea that incorporates blockchain is raising big bucks. I'm tempted to float an idea or two out there myself.

Great conversation with Naval Ravikant (founder of AngelList and one of my favorite thinkers in tech)
Although the Ethereum network is operational today, it is not scheduled to be completed until 2019.
I'm the first person to say that I believe blockchain (and cryptocurrency, in general) is here for the long haul and will revolutionize the world over the next decade.
Not sure where you got that from, but it's certainly not the case.
willing to do a little research and take some risk, there is a ton of opportunity.
