I've seen it used in settlement of derivatives. Check these out https://setl.io
You remove the +3 settlement days, make it really cheap and lose the need for a reconciliation team as it's all captured on the ledger.

"BTC has crashed 30% six times this year. Each time it recovered and then made gains of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, 152%."
Bonkers.
This is a pretty good overview of a lot of current technology vs. hype: https://a16z.com/2017/12/06/summit-k...enedict-evans/
There was currencies which literally didn't do anything which had billions of dollars behind them. So, yeah, blockchain will be used for something but there's a lot of "followers".
Bitcoin won't be the winner, when the price was like 20k the fees to send $50 were like $30. That's not a workable solution.
Lost a fair bit of my equity last night. Having been 260% up going into the night I walked away with about 60% profits on my initial deposit. Made a couple of bum trades and then sold too hastily during the crash.
Still though, 60% in two weeks isn’t bad.
Crypto is fucking flying again lads. Ripple has made a stormer.
I ought a small amount of stellar lumens at 0.33 a couple days ago. It's at 0.9 today.
How are all of these crypto currencies regulated?
Can any twat call themselves a bank and release one?
It's all a gigantic scam. The trick will be getting a profit out before it all goes kaboom.
I’ve going hard on The Abyss. Apparently it’s Steam meets Bitcoin. Surely that’s gonna succeed.
I'm a twit
Nah, it's all about Goatse Coin.
Seriously, it's an actual thing.
Look:
Also:
How can you become any sort of 'Tech Correspondent' without knowing that? It's like not knowing what a printer is.
Most 'tech correspondents' treat pre-2006 like it was Division One.
Yevcoin.
My colleague stuck £1500 in numerous coins and he's up to £6000 value at the moment. I think it's all mental.
Power ledger
Stellar lumens
Litecoin :/
Ethereum
OmiseGo
Monaco :/
Bread
Iota
Verge
IOTA and Ripple where it's at
Lumens too but I don't know shit about it
What broker did you use?
Bought ETH from various Swedish sites and moved to the exchanges. Mainly Binance right now, Cryptopia for XBY.
Stuck £100 in on ETH to see how that goes.
Pretty cool you can do it through Revolut @Giggles if you’re keen, a lot less faffing about.
I don't really know what Bitcoins are and I'm happier in that I'm not missing anything that way.
It's really strange how un-tangible the numbers feel when messing around with this. I just passed 10000 euro, and due to one specific coin gaining a lot in the last 24 hours almost half that is in some obscure music coin, but I don't feel the stress over potentially losing it.
We'll see if I feel different when I cross six figures...
It's a load of nonsense.
A lot of people around me are making thousands on shitcoins. On one hand, I'm annoying I'm missing out; on the other, I simply can't have it as a reasonable "investment".
You and Warren Buffett. Decent company to keep.
Is it really an investment if it's impossible to get your money when you want it?
Let people have their dreams.
One of the largest hardware chains in Sweden accepts BTC as payment. I'm gonna let it ride for a week or two now and then get a Macbook, a TV, and a Switch for well over what my initial investment was.
The only place that accepts bitcoin here are Brothels. I could already use it to buy coke and hookers so it seems a bit pointless.
The guy I was working with today spent all day in the car watching crypto currency graphs and buying various different currencies, then telling me each and every one was the one to watch.
To be fair he has five houses that he rents out so he’s not exactly short of a few bob, but jeez i bet there are loads of people like him. He sits up til 4am watching the graphs.
I'm a twit
So. Many. Grifters.
Where was my pm berny ?
I'm limited to binance and have some shit portfolio fodder but I really hope either nuls, bread or air swap take off.
I mean, I said I hold VEN earlier in the thread, and look at it now.
I’m now officially in. Had my account verified a long time ago but never actually bought anything until now.
For anyone wanting to do the same (now seems like a good time cos bitcoin is super low) it’s as easy as can be with Coinbase.

If you're looking for an indicator of how things are going: /r/bitcoin has the US suicide hotline phone number pinned as the top thread right now
Lol at this shambles. I read about one where some guys investment just disappeared because the currency shut down or something? 27k.
Fuck buying this shit, there's not really a legible way to convert it in to real money.
That's what happens when X gets used for speculation. Idiots get excited and then they lose their money. Those pulling the strings profit every time.
Bought a heap of XRP at $0.31 in November and sold up at $3.32 recently, made a few reasonable Eth trades too. It's gambling, pure and simple, but it does have an informed degree if your spending time reading up anyway. It's why I got on XRP - I attend Digital and Payment events and conferences, and Ripple's payment settlement platforms are well regarded - albeit not with XRP as an essential component currency.
Bitcoin is on its arse lads. Currently at £6795. Buy buy buy!
I'm a twit
Nah, don't, the Tether-shit is actually scary. I would stay away for a while.
Down down deeper and down
Insane. Thank God it’s just profit I’ve got in.
Long hold until it recovers.
Insane!
Who could have predicted such volatility!
What’s caused it to fall so much?
