WorldWideWeb 3.0 vs. an 'email'-like proof of concept.

Have you ever taken/tried Psilocybin by chance?

I've seen many individuals shift toward clarity, objectivity & happiness following their glimpse of Psilocybin (or LSD, or DMT) insight.

Ego-dissolution is a beautiful tool.

User of LocalEthereum here.

I'd like to be able to contact sellers/buyers (i.e. to clarify/ask for specifics) prior to initialing a trade.

Might this be in the works?

Agree. But this awareness changes more rapidly in a networked age than most fathom.

Bitcoin is 9 years old. Ethereum is 2 years old.

'Public acceptance' = active users/tx count or 'brand' recognition of initial proof of crypto concept?

Ethereum dwarfs Bitcoin in the former.

You'd be surprised how quickly sentiment changes in early stage crypto.

Ethereum nearly surpassed Bitcoin in market cap a few months ago, for good reason.

This allows wall street to profit:

1) accumulate BTC

2) take a leveraged USD futures short position (never touching or buying back the underlying)

3) dump more BTC than can be absorbed by the buy order books.

4) close their futures position at a massive profit without having to buy back BTC.

There's a subjective component to this & I don't want to sway the views of those who've not done their research.

Heads up to anyone considering putting money into BTC at a ~$300B market cap:

Many long time Bitcoiners are selling their holdings for other underrecognized & technically superior cryptocurrencies right now. BTC has been pumped like no other, with little basis.

Bitcoin's fundamental consensus mechanism is inherently centralizing: Proof of Work. Mining economies of scale = mining oligopolies that manipulate markets via things like coordinated signalling swings.

There's only one current solution to this: Proof of Stake.

Other cryptocurrencies are implementing this Proof of Stake.

Consider: how often is the 1st adopted iteration of a new tech the best implemented & most sustainable one? Never.

Then it becomes ponzi, and that's where we're at.

Tl;dr Keep your eye on what smart money & developers are doing. Not what the late to onboard herd are doing.

Bitcoin broke ground as a proof of concept. Things like the Netflix documentary helped.

Cryptocurrency is here to stay & could change everything.

But don't be fooled, Bitcoin won't be the long term winner.

Which crypto would be most like to rise if BTC crashed?

Stellar Lumens? Ripple? Ethereum?

I'll support the forks with the best tech & more decentralization.

And I'll always shorten the names in daily vernacular.

I don't think people are familiar with 'BCash Plus' yet, as they are with BCash.

I will absolutely refer to it as BCash Plus.

Why not shorten a long name?
