Interesting point Mike, and one that did not occur to me. It does seem unlikely that a hack of this magnitude could have been orchestrated by a bunch of "bored kids." It would take expertise and experience to pull off.
Enjoyed the article. If the all-time high is again reached a correction should be expected, but nothing near the 50% decline seen in the past. For the most part, the relative highs are here to stay.
The rich get richer, what else is new? Unfortunately that's the world we live in; where a small amount have more money than they can spend in a lifetime, whereas the overwhelming majority barely have enough to survive. The wealthy are the one's with the power to influence change, but this is not a change that would benefit them.
I wouldn't say Apple is onto something. They were far from the first to enter the space, in fact, they're pretty close to last. Google Wallet has been out for a while. Something superior as a mobile payment method would be adopting Bitcoin and the ability to pay with something as simple as a QR code. Apple's success is derived from their mindless cult following that will support anything apple, refusing to analyze the underlying technology.
They also are partnered with Steph Curry who looks to be the next big thing in the NBA. Curry choosing UA when seemingly every other athlete signs with either Nike or Adidas is also a big win for UA. If they can retain Curry and make it as one of the leading basketball shoes, that could generate enormous revenue for them. Of course, if they ever do get big in the basketball industry, they will have Curry to thank for that.
Interesting perspective. I myself have always wondered what happened to leave some countries seemingly so far behind in terms of advancement. It seems their lag is a snowball effect compounding over the course of years; as opposed to one pivotal moment in history that proves to be the cause.
I can't see the drones being successful. As you mentioned, with the safety concerns in this day and age it just doesn't seem feasible. On top of that delivery confirmations will be next to impossible with so many variables. I can definitely see the drones being shot down as a way for people to steal.
Increased transparency in Bitcoin would defeat the original purpose of its creation and the vision held by Satoshi. Changing the name to mtMOX is almost certainly a terribly marketing strategy. And lastly, when you reference a close above $400; what do you consider a close when a market is open 24/7 and never truly closes?
It was a guaranteed income experiment performed in Canada in the 70s to measure its impact on the labor force participation rate. It's a pretty interesting concept that I think should be examined on a broader spectrum.
