"I don’t expect that #cryptocurrency in any of its current forms will survive because they don’t offer anything particularly useful compared to traditional money."

@[Michael Ashton](user:12172), great article and I agree with everything you said, though you forgot one point with your quote above. #Cryptocurrencies like #bitcoin do offer one extremely useful benefit over traditional money.

Wall Street is greedy. These instutions take risks they shouldn't and know that if their bet pans out, they'll reap a fortune, if not, they'll get bailed out. They will break the law knowing that if they get away with it, they'll reap a fortune. If they get caught, they'll get hit with fines that are a fraction of what they actually made. There is no disincentive to behave.

Looks like a promising investment, thanks.
