Cryptographic Economy
Bill Gates says that nobody can stop Bitcoin, but I would say nobody can stop Cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is just a figure it is the first functional implementation of a cryptocurrency. Meaning it is not the best out there and it became the commonly used term for cryptocurrencies.
What most people still don't realize, is that the history is repeating itself, just like Oil, Gold, and the stocks. This is going to be the new form of the world economy, it has always been the case, first people are afraid and then it is going to be a fact, and everybody will join.
Cryptocurrencies are driving a significant redistribution of wealth, and that will be very clear of the number of millionaires and billionaires that are going to be there in 2018 and the years to follow. The world has not seen such a redistribution of wealth throughout this planet's history like what's happening in cryptocurrencies trading. What is really bizarre is that we go and buy lottery tickets on a chance of a 1/200 Million of winning, but yet we are afraid to invest a 100$ in cryptocurrencies cause we might lose it. That is what doesn't make any sense.
Have you ever had that thought of "what would have happened if I invested in this business when it first started? look how big and successful it is right now."
If you do not always want to miss on opportunities, start considering investing in cryptocurrencies, its legal in the US and it is taxable and will keep growing. Moreover, instead of throwing your money in college funds for your kids, throw just a 100$ of that money in one of the established cryptocurrencies and if it does not double within a year, then consider it a month of Starbucks coffee.
