That’s a touching story. Make sure you don’t put too much of your money or your families money into bitcoin before you read this: http://ventureburn.com/2017/12/bitcoin-market-manipulation/

Well, for me, thanks to blockchain, now I spend everyday watching coinmarketcap.com, to see what coins were added lately, what coins gained value, what coins lost value. Thank you blockchain!

It's been informative  when you watch the transactions on chain but for me it's given me the freedom, accessibility and safety that hitherto i couldn't enjoy from investment banks and even granted me a new global remittance avenue at competitive fees.

I agree. Bitcoin is changing the world and the biggest proof of what decentralization on a massive scale is capable of. It's a great time to be alive.

What an awful article. Too many mistakes to take this seriously...

One of the things that I personally have concerns about is Tether's influence in leveraged trading.  I haven't taken a deep dive into the issue, I've been working on getting our Initial Donor Offering launched.  However, from what I've read they appear to be engaging in Fed style "printing". I'll read the linked thread later today and post over there.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are also changing my life. Cryptocurrencies have a huge impact on everyone's life,
but no one should take it to the extreme.
It is in the human nature to take it to the extreme, one end or the other one, but the key here and everywhere else is to keep it somewhere in the middle.
With crypto is hard to that, but a few smart moves will put everyone in the place they should be for their own good.
