I don't recommend the article, but this phrase struck me as apt:

'Putting money into any cryptocurrency isn't an investment. It's a vote.'

Okay, next: 'a nexus of money-laundering' — check the date on the article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/23/how-chinas-macau-crackdown-threatens-big-us-casino-moguls-sheldon-adelson            But I understand the 'laundering' in question here is the chance to move Yuan 'beyond' the Chinese system — that is, into U.S. cash.

What I suggest is going on in Japan is a little different from what the article is outlining. The real point to focus on here is that the pre-Bitcoin-forex trading, and now the crypto-trading dynamic, represent ways in which ordinary Japanese can do what the rich Chinese were doing in Macau: _expressing distrust of their national financio-economic model. It's a vote.

Blown my mind again Mark

Couldn't help but disagree with a lot in this post! I mean on the surface a lot of what they say is agreeable but in MY experience, horseshit. Your favourite coin has anonymous devs! I've bought into two icos And neither of them have traded lower than the ico price (yet). And both of them had early bonus. I feel like there is a crypto old school. Icos got a terrible name for a while there but now we are seeing more and more amazing business ideas from the ico scene.

Morning, J.! Couldn't agree more -- but it's an interesting array of opinions, and that's why I put it up for discussion. Yes, the anonymous devs thing is one I disagree with. And it pained me to note that there isn't a single mention of community organisation/dynamism in there.

Always here for class IMZ
