<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 2753574, member: 38783&quot;]You beat me to this exact same retort.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last I checked, the good &#039;ol US greenback is used in all of these things, but I can&#039;t seem to find anyone cracking down on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s amazing the amount of vitriol and ill-informed / un-informed posts there are here for this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I have skin in this game, I own a fair amount.&nbsp; I&#039;ve made tidy profits off of it, and will continue to do so for as long as it&#039;s around.&nbsp; Which may be a month, a year, the rest of my lifetime.&nbsp; Who knows.&nbsp; But, I know what to look for, know where the pitfalls are, and can make informed decisions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree with digital &quot;currency&quot; (and I use that term loosely on purpose) or not, really, it should be a good exercise in learning about the entire ecosystem.&nbsp; The technology behind it is amazing, and whether Bitcoin survives or not is really not the main thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny thing is that so many people are just blindly accepting the information out there about stealth, drugs and hookers.&nbsp; Yeah, it&#039;s been used for that, and for sure has gained quite some notoriety due to it.&nbsp; Then again, back to the first sentence above, so too is &quot;cold hard cash&quot; being used in the same capacity.&nbsp; This is just quicker because it&#039;s electronic.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s quite ironic that the very thing that made Bitcoin (and the other alts) what it is today - the Blockchain - is being used to provide transparency and full histories of transactions and is being adopted to many industries, especially those of Finance where auditing is a must.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can understand what drives the movement of the Crypto coins, you can make a tidy profit with lesser risk.&nbsp; Pump and dump is no longer really an option with Bitcoin due to its market cap, size, and profitable ecosystem.&nbsp; Smaller alts, yep, you can pump and dump all day long.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d happily get into some discussions on it, if anyone is able to be open-minded and willing to understand and debate rationally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
