RE: China bans... Invest in it! Part 2
The price of the "adaptation" of Bitcoin is the emergence of forks like Bitcoin Cash, and if you ask me, these are "hotbeds" for scams and fraud (as a matter of fact, exactly this is happening in case of Bitcoin Cash)
I agree about adaptation but it becomes hard to define when we're talking about systems generating immutable datasets.
btrash is btrash, i dont even waste time discussing that shitcoin. Anyway, softforks are backward compatible, it happened a few times already in the history of BTC. They are hard to achieve not specifically because of immutable datasets, but because of the consensus rules imho. I would say 80% of the top100 crypto is worthless rubbish. Time will tell, this is an unseen phenomenon, hard to draw parallels. As Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Softforks are cool, definitely. If you think those are enough to fulfill the needs when it comes to accommodation, then I believe you.
Definitely, lol, there's no doubt. I'm sure most of them will disappear or become insignificant before the end of the next decade.
Heck, I'm not sure even about the current top5 if can survive for that long. Sustainability needs good governance (among other things) and that is extremely problematic for most coins.

Yes, I've heard about it, but it's hard to choose, who to believe to when it comes to price prediction.
I try to keep a balanced portfolio, 30%BTC, 10%ETH, 30% midcap like steem and my 'love' BLX of Iconomi, ICN of course and 30% risky stuff, MCO, MTL, SNGLS, ... as soon as any goes over my pre-defined limit, i rebalance buying BTC and some cash. I can say this portfolio more or less follows the total market cap, last year was a nice one!

Haha okay that's hard to argue with!
Nah, I'd prefer replacing that 30% BTC with XMR. Principle reasons, but still.
Sidenote: MCO is way not risky in the long-term if you ask me. If that project won't skyrocket, I'll be genuinely surprised.
Thanks, i already decided at my next rebalance i will accumulate some privacy coins inclusing XMR. What the darkweb likes, usually becomes mainstream later.
Usually it happens when the tech behind is actually good.
Needless to say, whan this kind of stuff works out well, that discovered in the underground at first
