That means O'Rourke received a gross payout of $869,256 and made at least $712,000 on Riot's 600-plus percent price surge in the last few months on a name change that added the word "blockchain."Announcements tying companies to the blockchain technology that also backs bitcoin have caused several tiny stocks to soar dramatically in the last several months. In December, bitcoin itself had briefly surged about 1,900 percent for the year.

A co worker bought ripple at 16 cents and now its fucking $2.70
― calstars, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 23:20 (six years ago) link
That’s a 1600% gain in two months or soBut it ain’t a profit unless he sells that’ shit
xp
i mentioned buying ripple wld be good a couple weeks ago in the other bitcoin thread since it is so cheap and was the non-mining cryptocurrency that saw the biggest increase in value plus bank thing etc
anyway it's all pretty volatile/unstable now so it's anybody's guess as to which ones will be of any value in the future

I’m hearing from a few people with bitcoins (yes, plural) and other cryptocurrencies that mining is no longer where the money isThe article seems to be conflating mining cryptcurrencies with all cryptocurrencies

Tempted to either:1. Buy a tonne of different cheap cryptoc and risk gaining/losing a bit with whichever increases/decreases in value2. Buy ethereum3. Buy ripple

It's been fun to see how my dad suddenly got sucked up into cryptocurrency. I've only seen him like this 25 years ago when stocks suddenly drew his attention in a mad way. He's got Ethereum now and knows more about blockchains etc than I do. He feels so fucking cutting edge lol.

i am actually intrigued by what the kodak coin might lead to for people who produce images for a living:
In an official announcement, Kodak said the cryptocurrency would underpin "an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers." Kodak is working with a company called WENN Digital on the initiative.The idea is that photographers could use Kodak's forthcoming blockchain to register works, with "KODAKCoin" functioning as a medium of exchange on the platform. Users can receive payment in the cryptocurrency as well as pay for rights, according to the company.

I feel like the definition of the word 'currency' is a little more specific than the fashion in which it's being bandied about these days.
In other news, I'd like to introduce you all to my new cryptocurrency, Salsacoin. It's a robust yet mild salsa and it's just to die for.

if i can get in on salsacoin when it's still valued at .0000000000000001 BTC, we can buy an ILX yacht with the profits when it's valued at .000001 BTC

would be nice if someone or something that wasn't a big dying company would take the lead on it, though.
