Quoted from Pintucky:Can anybody respond on that last question? Thanks again.
Yes, just like money, you can move it around.
Quoted from vicjw66:I just can’t get past all the resources used to mine these crypto currencies.
I think this is a valid concern. I've looked into some of the more environmentally-friendly coins. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find one yet that is a solid investment. Anyone have any suggestions?
Quoted from Black_Knight:Can we please call it a mania now?
Isn't that graph a bit misleading? They have 2017 as "year 1" for Bitcoin.
