Seems like a MLM scam. Those who get in early get largest reward. well, i can certainly see how that could be a perception. however, there is just way too much friggin money in this thing to turn back. we are talking trillions. the blockchain is going to change the world, hell it already is changing the world. when you have Master Card and Visa, as well as Goldman Sacs quietly becoming part of this new world, you know it's legit.

The obvious is the isolated 3rd world countries. I witnessed a scam the other day at Wawa For those unfamiliar with Wawa it's gas station chain with a sandwich shop inside. You walk in, use a touch screen kiosk to order a sandwich and a ticket is printed out. You pay at the register while the sandwich is made. When the sandwich is ready they call your number, you put your ticket in a basket, and collect your sandwich I'm there ordering a sandwich minding my own business and see another patron walk up, says the number and puts a piece of paper into the bin. Wawa hands over the sandwich. Not unusual, people don't hear their number the first time, they get stuck in line, go out to fuel their car, or hit the bathroom while the sandwich is being made A minute or two later another patron asks for the same number which has already been handed away. They check the receipt which has the number and is stamped as paid. They check the basket and find a blank piece of white paper. Somebody walked off with the other guys sandwich Or did they....

What LAMPy McLAMPenstein forgets is that the technology underlying bitcoin isn't bitcoin-specific. It's applicable to a much wider variety of exchanges, not even limited to currency. precisely. that is why the title of this thread is, Cryptos (i started a different Bitcoin thread which i will resurrect and gloat a bit in a few). there are so many companies that are coming into existence that are utilizing the smart contracts of the Etherium Blockchain that it is literally changing the face of the financial landscape as it exists today. and that is the purpose of this thread. to expose the unaware to the new reality that will be thrust unto their paradigm and to be ahead of the curve or at the very least to be prepared for it. the old economic model is slowly dying. we have been seeing signs of this all around us for over a decade now. brick and mortar won't completely go away, but what you now know to be, is going to be dramatically different in another decade. commercial real estate is in trouble. there is a revolution happening. be a part of it.
