Full disclosure, I DO own some ether. I treat it more like an entertainment fund and isn't part of my 'portfolio' (yet, anyway. Would be fun if it got to the point it was ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full disclosure - I used to work for Discover as a Product Manager, so I understand what the networks are focusing on when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

There aren't any brokers, you aren't investing in specific companies who are putting together a fund. The wallet I use is coinbase, though I may switch to something a bit more private, but they are a fairly reputable wallet that works pretty well. Ok thanks!

I'm surprised that nobody is making bigger moves on VISA, AMEX, etc. I think they're vulnerable to changing technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're usually the ones implementing said technology. We don't hear much about it stateside because it's fully fleshed out in other markets (Europe being the primary testing grounds). AMEX has its own niche in the corporate space, probably won't go anywhere anytime soon. Visa is the 80,000 behemoth that sends the 500 lb gorilla running for it's life. This being said - IMO, we're about 3-5 years away from seeing a China Union Pay bug on the front of a domestic credit or debit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Been in the crypto space for a couple years. Love the potential of blockchain technology. Personally believe in MONERO, best long term growth potential out of all the current coins. Especially if they are able to integrate smart contracts as some have discussed. It will also be getting Ledger support shortly it looks like. Great time to buy in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Check out Ripple guys. It's the cryptocurrency that is for Banks. Yes, kind of defeats the purpose of cryptocurrency but it's more realistic. Ripple might replace the program banks currently use (Swift) which takes 3-5 days to process transactions. Ripple is instant. Ripple is currently used by 70 banks and I believe one is Bank of America. They still have nearly a 1,000 banks to go. Right now it's 0.22 cents per Ripple. Just imagine buying $200 worth now and in 10 years it's $1,000. You'd be a millionaire. Ripple is having a press conference October 16th. Buy before that.
