      Please, for god's sake don't take my tweets as investment advice. I'm a technologist, not a stock broker. I point to the price increase because it's an interesting metric of recognition, not because I think you should buy it.

          Why do you keep pushing ZCash? It is probably the worst privacy coin. Based in US. Corporate presale to American investors. Founder has said demasking 'illegal users' is acceptable. Have you really not done basic research? Monero is infinitely superior if you demand privacy.

          Right, that would would be evidence to his confidence in zProofs imo. People just gonna buy shit regardless cause their sheep. An investor will take it w a grain of salt and look at the other fundementals

          Spend no more on speculative investments than you can afford to lose. This includes everything from the stock market to crypto-currencies. Remember the value of stocks depend on fair play, which is eliminated by insider trading (made easy through spying & illegal surveillance).

          Actually that is a misunderstanding. What utility does gold have? or a Picasso? Bitcoin has enormous utility, emerging fast and people are realising it. No altcoin has as much utility.

          I'm LT bullish on crypto. Gold is a proven precious metal for thousands of years across cultures. Picasso's art has proven valuable for decades. Just because BTC > than Bolivar and Beanie Babies doesn't mean BTC isn't a bubble. Or that it'll be like gold or Picasso someday.

          This is a different point to saying there is no correlation between price and utility. I'm saying that BTC > Gold > Picasso and hence the price discovery happening makes sense. I don't see a bubble right now, perhaps at 10% adoption.

          I was rebutting your points. Define adoption, because I don't think hodling is adoption or a use case. It's just sticking your BTC under a virtual mattress, taking it out of circulation. That makes BTC more scarce and price goes up ST. Not a use case or adoption though.

          Holding Bitcoin is 100% committed adoption, depending on it as a SoV and a MoE when required. Speculating is not adoption. Bitcoin very soon will be less volatile, and it's MoE purpose will grow. Gold etc. have nowhere near as broad and reliable utility.
