Any Bitcoin or Cyrptocurrency enthusiasts?

bitcoins are here to stay. The momentum behind it is huge. The fact that I can send you $1 from my computer/smartphone RIGHT NOW is huge. Yea, there's a 1% fee, but no one keeps track of it (theoretically). When you send someone a payment through citibank, paypal, Western Union, or wherever, there's a papertrail...

Anyone own Ethereum? Its starting to gain some momentum.

Well the Block payout to miners just halved. Will be interesting to see what happens.

[vogeltron]

Ethereum now supported on coinbase

[vogeltron]

$750 will see if it can hold.

ETH has been down since Coinbase added it. Just grabbed some more. Not as sold on ETH as Bitcoin with its overall end game but I still like the technology and lots of Nerds way smarter than me putting lots of energy into it.

That's crazy - BTC was around 275 when we first discussed this in July 2015....now 976...forget the stock market....

@vogeltron, nice stuff...you buy it on Coinbase?

Yea, sadly I am not good enough with technology to use other platforms. Coinbase works good.

Well Vogeltron you missed by about $30-40 USD

Brother still dreaming I might give him back the Bitcoin he gave me...

Two words... as if!

BTC will continue to go up because the difficulty of mining is increasingly getting harder.

It has done even better in non US Terms. At near all time highs in many currencies.

I do think there is a potential pullback into the $800 USD range. But the network and infrastructure is growing. It is Deflationary by nature and still most the world has no idea what Bitcoin is.

My prediction for 2017 is that Bitcoin passes Gold in value. 1 Bitcoin will be more than 1 OZ of Gold.

No other Cyprto has come to match Bitcoin given the Networking effect. I have said previously I have some ETH (Ethereum) but its end game I am suspect about. BTC appears to thus far won free market adoption and the infrastructure build by programmers.
