Like I get bitcoin, but there's just so many popping all the time it's just stupid.

Like the way of the future is a currency that has a type of currency called doge coin?

That would be like hey don't use your 100 dollar bill, I have this 100 with Steve buscemi on it. Buscemi bucks

It essentially combines stock and currency. It's something you can use to buy stuff with, but it's value is like owning a stock as it goes up or down in value.

Cryptos future isn't as a currency, exactly.

It's actually the block chain tech that has actual value.

Its a Ponzi scheme. The more people get other people to buy it, it increases in value, then those that got on the band wagon earlier sell it off leaving the late comers with the bag. Rinse repeat

it's not, transaction fees on bitcoin are significantly higher than with visa/amex/etc. As long as that is true, it will never be the future. It has other major issues as well, but right now it's market is illegal activities and using it as a ponzi scheme to make money by convincing others it has more value than it does.

it's like if you combined the worst parts of stocks and currency. the volatility of a risky stock with nothing to back it but someone's word in currency

again, people need to look beyond the outdated BTC to see the value of crypto

transactions on the blockchain can currently achieve near instantaneous confirmation speed (1.7 seconds for RaiBlock) with no fees and greater scaling capacity than what credit cards can offer

blockchain technology can also offer applications like secured online voting, decentralized stock exchange, distributed and shared computing, and VPN services

Just like gold and silver, which are ponzi schemes as well.

But even that is kinda tentative. I mean, yeah, cool, here's this slightly more secure technology, but also here's all this overhead cost. Is it worth it? Would it be overcomplicated for the majority of applications, making it extremely niche?
