Incase you're disabled, we're in a beanie baby situation. I know all of you were litterally not even born when that shit went down so let me explain what happened

>each beanie baby finite like most cryptos are - they make about 1,000 or 10,000 of each
>investors see it as a opportunity to flip for cash in 3 years to the "Collector market"
>they buy litterally $20k worth of beanie babies at a time
>beanie babies stop being made for a year
>investors get cold feet from stagnant market
>some investors try to cash out
>SPOILER: the only people wanting to buy these investment teddy bears are other investors, and that this collector market is way smaller than the investor market
>in a mad rush to cash out and cut their losses sellers keep undercutting other sellers
>people see the downward trend and won't buy realizing it's a bag
>it keeps going down
>within a week most beanie babies are at/below MSRP
>the only thing saving it from crashing to 0 is that it has a use as a toy

So lets examine the things cryptos and beanie babies have in common;

>finite resource makes it alluring - check (apart from XRP kek)
>popular, hyped "investment opportunity" fad - check
>little to no use case past being an "investment" - check
>normies (aka poor people) think its a get rich quick scheme - check

Investments are tied to what it does - Houses are a fucking house, companies make shit and provide services, physical elements like gold are, well, gold. Crypto is used for what? Buying items on some meme browser games? LOL

In 2018 people are going to cash out of this wild ride, and only the top 5 will remain even semi relevant - we have already experienced the total market ATH.

People are rebuilding the entire internet to be decentralized, censorship resistant, and completely redesigning the economics of networks with extraordinary efficiencies.

Check out steemit.com

There are no owners, there are no servers, pages are delivered peer to peer. They have no costs. This creates a new economy in this social network. Not only do they not have to serve ads, they are able to reward users with internal currency for network participation and value.

Funny.

I've also considered doing the math to find out how many transactions could be processed before the entire worlds electricity is needed to to supply the miners verifying transactions.

When divided by the number of people in the world, I bet the number will be lower than people thing.

So in some dystopian future, people will need to chose if they want to use their last allowable transaction for the year on a loaf of bread or paying the rent.

The bottom line... cryptos as a currency is such a poorly thought out idea, I'm surprised they've got so many suckers to buy into it.

[Performance]
-Ripple consistently handles 1,500 transactions per second, 24x7.
-Payment channels can process 10s of 1000s of transactions per second.

.
[Cost]
-A standard transaction costs just 0.00001 XRP.
-The cost is not paid to any party: it's irrevocably destroyed.

.
[Real-world use]
-5 institusions are currently using XRP (MoneyGram, Cuallix, FlashFX, IDT and MercuryFX).
-Many banks are currently using xCurrent. Since xRapid is cheaper (saves up to 60%) and provides final settlement, they are likely to transition to it.
-Bichip will use XRP in its RFID chips.
-A w3c standard that Ripple helped develop (and was demo'd by Microsoft) will be available in all major browsers, it'll facilitate paying with XRP.

.
[Economics]
-The supply is fixed.
-Unlike Bitcoin, there's no inflation. Bitcoin uses PoW which relies on inflation and/or high fees. Bitcoin requires $18M of net new $ flowing in just to maintain the price!!

.
[Security]
-Unlike Bitcoin, double-spending isn't possible. Bitmain (a Chinese company) can rollback Bitcoin's chain and bunkrupt the whole ecosystem.
-An attack could only stop new transactions temporarily. Participants would simply remove bad participants from their list

.
[Decentralisation]
-Each participant can run a validator and use his own list of validators.
-validators role is to agree on an order for new transactions
-10s of reputable public & private entities around the world are currently running validators (e.g., Microsoft, MIT, CGI, WorldLink, Bahnhof,..)
-Consensus for the order of new transactions requires a supermajority of 80%

.
[Incentives]
-XRP is a revenue source for Ripple Labs. This aligns its incentives with XRP hodlers. It uses the revenue to improve the tech and expand XRP's marketshare.
-Ripple Labs share is locked in 55 batches on the network. Only one batch can be unlocked per month. It would take them 5 years to unlock them all. XRP is sold only to long term investors (i.e., they can't dump).

We don't intend to scam people. We are interested in tokenized protocol equity with real world value. Not exactly the same thing as fucking burning man.

Smart contracts could very well transact trillions of dollars in 10 years. Does it really hurt to make a small speculative investment while the market cap (a figure that massively overestimates total investment) is smaller than apple?

At least come up with some new arguments as to why smart contracts are useless.

They aren't investments though you fucking idiot, you'd know this if you understood the technology in the slightest capacity. You aren't buying shares when you buy a coin or token.

Let me simplify further for you since apparently I voted for you to be retarded.

>Investing
>the act of spending money with the hopes of making money in the future

Buying a candy bar for $1 and holding on to it because you believe it'll be worth $100 in 2020 is an investment. An incredibly idiotic, illogical and retarded investment, but that's an investment.

So, if they're not investments, despite all of /biz and plebbit treating it as a investment and circlejerking over raising prices and crying over dips because the effect their "not investments" then what are they?

Are you legitimately trying to tell me the vast majority of the poor white children on /biz/ putting half their McDonalds paycheck in to Crypto aren't doing it as an investment, you sad, sad product of the American education system?

You clearly need to download those, you can't understand how blockchain works.
