“I believe that blockchain needs to be a big part of our future. If I’m in the White House, oh boy are we going to have some fun in terms of the cryptocurrency community.” Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang
“There’s a popular perception that the rate limiting factor in blockchain adoption is something to do with the technology itself — like the technology isn’t scalable, it’s not fast enough, the developer tools aren’t in place. But in my experience is that’s really not the rate limiting factor at this point. It’s not even at the top of my list.
You’re going to need to reach agreement on some critical things about who is a member of the network, what’s the commercial model behind the network, what legal form does it take and how you manage that network and that software over time.” Ken Nessel, Senior Director of Business Technology, Pfizer
Folks asking my opinion of Ethereum:
Well . . .. Frankly, I prefer one syllable coins and am not fond of Ethereum's spelling. Additionally, many of my friends who hold Ethereum dress oddly. And, of course, Buterin looks underfed to me. But do not take this as investment advice.

“Bitcoin’s blip appears to have been caused by a significant sell order placed on the Bitstamp exchange early Friday morning, which triggered selling across other exchanges, Whether this order was a deliberate dump or a fat finger error remains to be seen.
Given the positive sentiment in the market over the past few weeks, it’s likely that the price will recover soon. However, this drop is a stark reminder that cryptoassets still operate in a nascent market, which is susceptible to significant price moves by whales.” Simon Peters, analyst at eToro

After trading #Bitcoin for 7 years now, I can honestly say we are seeing an entire new era of $BTC market action. It does appear crypto, starting with #BTC has finally become a global reserve asset that people around the world run to in times of uncertainty…
