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

That’s a 1600% gain in two months or so
But 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

oh man how is it possible that governments could ever control this that isn't possible nakamoto said so

bitcoin is the cia do yr research

I’m hearing from a few people with bitcoins (yes, plural) and other cryptocurrencies that mining is no longer where the money is

The 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 value

2. Buy ethereum

3. Buy ripple

Just imagine the run when this shit is revealed to be nothing.

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.

Eth is so ‘16

Sorry for bumping though
This thread deserves to die

I take this as another form of gambling which i tend not to do but meh a couple thousand is like a trip to vegas

Ok except is Vegas is leagues more fun than this shit

Been to Vegas enough times to have gotten bored of it tbh

Like put a grand on a sports book with results in 2 hours and go for a stoned drive down LV blvd

So sorry !

the real move is to start an exchange then steal everyones money

occurs to me that at current prices the mt gox hack may be the biggest robbery ever in the history of the world (depending on how u define robbery)

This reminds me of the days my buddy and i used to bet on horses

$450 million at the time (still prob top 10)
$14.5 trillion at todays price! lmfao

~a quarter of that was recovered but still

they said it was all stolen then found 200k btc in an old wallet

Ilxcoin when

i was gonna make ILXcoin a few years ago but couldn't get the code to compile on my machine so i gave up

ILXcoin now, is when!

(btw, my stock just jumped 74%, get ilxcoin while it's hot, oh wait we must make adjustments for the suddenly high demand for ilxcoin, please stand by)

In the future, everyone will have their own cryptocurrency for fifteen minutes.

Admittedly, I are people who is now bitter. Good call.

lmao did you notice the name on top

millenial nocoiners

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.

theres also this for the lulz

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.

does it come in extra hot

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

didn't see the nainan / bitcoin crossover coming but in retrospect it's so obvious

obvcoin

km otm tho, kodakcoin actually sounds like it might be... a good idea?

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

someone like... dan nainan?

he has youth on his side after all

i...must admit that that i have no idea who dan nainan is, but that name sounds fake

oh boy you’re in for a treat my dude
