The Cryptocurrency Revolution Explained
I highly recommend Dan Larimer's most recent talk: "Introduction to Blockchain: Daniel Larimer at Virginia Tech"
"My missions in the past decade has been to find free-market solutions for securing life, liberty, property, and justice for all. And what I mean by that is nonviolent, voluntary solutions for securing the things that matter the most to us, our liberties and freedom, our property rights and blockchain technology happens to be the most effective tool we've ever created for doing just that." @dantheman

Popular fears about the continued rise of quantum computing and its security implications for blockchain technology are misguided and blown out of proportion.
This is the professional opinion of Jeffrey Tucker, Editorial Director at the American Institute of Economic Research. Tucker is of the view that the fear of quantum computing as an existential threat to bitcoin and other blockchain applications is based on scare-mongering and ignorance.
Another Cryptocurrency Experiences 51% Attack, Following Bitcoin Gold and Verge
Once the investigation was finished, the ZenCash team still found that there were two double-spent transactions. This meant that the hacker, whoever it was, was permitted to spend their 19,000 ZenCash two times, effectively doubling the worth of their ZenCash.
At current market values, the over 19,600 ZenCash which the hacker double-spent is worth around $558,000, not a figure to laugh at.

Google, Facebook and Uber: Has Their Blockchain Time Arrived?
British company Juniper Research recently published a study which suggests that the use of blockchain technology by multinational companies is just a matter of time. Analysts report that nearly 6 out of 10 corporations are considering application of this technology or already in the process of developing corporate blockchain services.
Earlier, Cointelegraph reported that Microsoft and Amazon were considering the possibility of integrating blockchain technology into a number of their platform services. These are not the only cases where multinational corporations are making waves in the crypto space. For example, Huawei is loading its phones with a built-in Bitcoin wallet, Samsung revealed its plans to use blockchain for managing its global supply chain, and IBM has announced a partnership with Nestle, Unilever and Walmart to assist with identifying and preventing contaminated products from reaching consumers.

They are definitely changing the world!! I grew up in Venezuela and i totally can tell you how things are working there and how their citizens can benefit.
As you mentioned, the inflation percentage is in the 5 digits and increasing. The minimum wage there is about $2 a month. Now let's take steemit for example. Imagine they make $2 extra a month writing articles and curating content, that's already an extra salary!! What if they make $10? $100? It definitely can solve a lot of their problems, at least helping them to put food in their tables, which is scarce nowadays...
Of course there are some logistic problems with the exchange and all that but it's definitely not impossible. Moreover they could use crypto to buy goods online from other countries 😊

Cryptocurrency through decentralization, and transparency is definitely shaking up organizations and nations as a whole. There is a lot of room for growth and adoption coming up that I feel would lead to a more honest and individual distribution of responsibility for how the future turns out for everyone on planet Earth.
I don't think that quantum computing would stay a problem, even if it initially starts that way. With every type of breach, there will always be new advances made by blockchain to counteract it. Just because operating systems get viruses, doesn't mean that they can't be updated!

Hello @teamsteem, I'm quite excited about the revolutionary idea of economic diversification, I'm Venezuelan and I live in Venezuela, where..:
We are living through the worst economic crisis and to be honest, I believe that the statistics fall short and the inflation rate is much higher, apart from the fact that the situation in all aspects is critical, but focusing on the power of the world of cryptomonedas I must say that for the last 7 months I have been in steemit constantly and I can attest to the change that my life has had in all aspects, to generate some sbd has been the economic impulse that allows me to improve the crisis a little, being the majority sustenance of my son, from knowing the steem, awakens my interest in this world and I have already learned how we have been managed by all governments in an egotistical way and that the crypto, is a solution to allow economic development without the slavery of governments.

To be more precise I would say, it's not an economic crisis but an engineered social crisis. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

That's the point! The crises in Venezuela and Greece, the war in Syria and so on, are not a side-effect of capitalism, but how it works to allow the 1% to control the world. Stock markets, rating agencies, Big Banks and Big Companies and all that is similar are their working instruments. Blockchain technology has the power to create a new socio-economic paradigm based on equity and redistribution of wealth, but we must be careful! For sure they will try (and are trying) to take advantage of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. A world based on Cryptos does not need Banks. They will not let it happen so easily...

Cryptocurrencies are changing Africa...!!!
When i look at that chat of countries with highest inflation,the majority is my continent Africa!
I am happy many African countries are getting to the crypto space and that is great news .
I can feel the bulls with all that great crypto positive news.It also fascinates me why people or companies or countries are endorsing blockchain tech (including my own Uganda )but are not accepting bitcoin which was the first proof of blockchain tech!!
In the conference(Africa Blockchain Conference) our president endorsed blockchain which had CZ CEO of binance as top guest,i witnessed a surge in the number of crypto exchanges being developed!
We had never had any exhange and i was excited as i saw fellow Ugandans creating not one but over 7 were showcasing that day!
The future is bright for the world especially Africans who join crypto.

Also consider how many traditional centr organizations are fighting against blockchain so early on demonstrates how disruptive it will be for many industries. Social media companies have banned ads and even censored many posts regarding cryptocurrencies which is why Steemit is the greatest platform available. Banks have started to impose unfair restrictions and fees in crypto related transactions as well as they fear the impact to their business model. Is it a grear time to be in the space!

*Make e-commerce stronger.
*Encourage scientific advancements.
*Keep companies and individuals accountable.

So much useful information in this post. The numbers of currency, gold, debt, and stock values in the world really spoke to me. I have seen them before, the one that really stood out to me was ICOs!
The fact that ICO's are higher in Q1 2018 than all of 2017 was a major break through, also we have a long way to go to beat the current IPO market of $196 billion. That shows how much demand there is though in the market for raising capital. Once firms realize there are less hurdles to jump through, and it's easier to do an ICO, they will cease to do IPOs.
I like your article about Vitalik jokingly considering going to Google, I must of been living under a rock.

I feel like something that should be talked about more is what kind of money 'should' be invested into crypto. For example, is there a way to prove how toxic it is for the whole crypto environment and economy to invest loaned money that you can't afford? It makes sense at face value - don't spend money that isn't yours... BUT I feel like a lot of people do this trying to make money off the bulls, but that's not how it works - it contaminates the pool. I really believe that if more honesty was invested into crypto currencies, then the whole market will be less volatile and more trusted. Like, crypto is only going to be what we make it. We will get out what we put in - not just from the basic face value / market cap but more importantly, morally. Do we truly want a decentralized currency? Then don't bring in loaned money from the big banks! Do we want our cryptos to be respected? Then don't use them to traffic drugs (big or small)! Yea, it's a wake up call for some - others will read this and it will seem silly, but I've been on both sides and all of our actions matter. IF YOU WANT CRYPTO TO GO UP AND UP, GO WORK YOUR ASS OFF AND START MAKING SOME HARD EARNED CASH FOR YOURSELF. Don't depend on your portfolio, lock it away and forget about it! Go pay your bills and save, save, save. If you are lucky enough to have $1-$10k in crypto now (in any of the main currencies [ETH, BTC, LTC, XRP, EOS, TRX, etc...] then just hodl now and celebrate in 2 years. If you already loaned out money and it is in crypto, then you are going to have a decision to make as soon as fall 2018 comes around and you've made enough to pay the balance off. You will want to keep making more "free" money off of it, but ask yourself what is better for the market as a whole. This is a warning to everyone in crypto... DO NOT CONTRIBUTE IN CONTAMINATING THESE WATERS. This is our chance to get out from under this fucked up totalitarian system of economic slavery. Let's fucking do this right. NOTHING IS FREE, EVERYTHING HAS A COST.
-Invest only what you own. (and the motto: "what you're willing to lose.")
-Pay off your debts first, make lambo money second
-Don't participate in pump and dumps / or (too many) illegal activities [that's a hard one when it comes to buying marijuana / lsd / shrooms etc on the dark web because to have an opinion on that brings up the whole drug war predicament and everyone sees the world differently - but just trust your instincts]
-AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HODL HODL HODL
Two years guys, it will be the best two years of your life.
IMO, year one ( from now until mid 2019) pay off your debts up to half of your crypto portfolio. And mid 2020 you will be so happy you waited and that you are finally in a good position to buy a lambo - and you just MIGHT not even do it ;)
Because lambos are fucking stupid, let's be real. Go buy a few acres of land in Canada with an off grid house for half the price haha. (That's real future prep for when shit hits the fan.)
And one more thing to remember guys...
Crypto is going to explode, but only because other people are going to be scared. Unfortunately, many of us will become rich because of the fear that will scramble many countries when their government currency start to fail them. I don't know how it's all going to play out, but we are going to have to show a bit of reverence about this. I mean, do we really deserve it?
Anyways. My thoughts that I've been wanting to share...
See you guys on the moon [mars].

Blockchain platform Maecenas has announced today, June 7, that it will hold the “world’s first cryptocurrency art auction”, according to a press release shared with Cointelegraph. The platform will be selling fractional ownership of Andy Warhol’s 14 Small Electric Chairs – worth $5.6 mln – at crypto-friendly UK fine art gallery Dadiani Syndicate on June 20.
The sale of 49 percent ownership interest in the painting, which is part of Warhol’s 1980 Reversal series, will allow buyers to purchase digital certificates of partial ownership on the Maecenas blockchain platform using their ART token as well as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this info, I know it isn't easy or quick. In the world of crypto a week feels like a year in traditional markets!
A lot of this just shows me that the blockchain space has so much room to grow! We have hardly scratched the surface when it comes to total market cap and I am excited to see where we can go from here!
We are currently at 5% adoption rate when it comes to cryptos and it is going to take something that streamlines the process of confirming blocks etc to push the adoption rate above 10%, but when we hit that mark, things will explode. It will take some time to get a project that can simplify the space but it will happen in the next few years.
Everyone talks and asks "when moon?" half as a joke and half seriously waiting for a magic day to come. In my opinion that :magic" day comes when that adoption rate increases to 10%.
Again thank you for all the info and this does it pump me up for what is to come!
Cheers to all of you that were believers and early adopters, our day will come when this whole market goes crazy! It is just a matter of time! :)

I'm not an adept seamstress... but when your daughter wants a Hello Kitty patch on her backpack you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and say, "I can do this.." Long story short I got my hand caught in the sewing machine and painfully sewed a Hello Kitty patch onto my fucking hand. I now no longer help people who need something.

I think once you start seeing more and more companies incorporating the blockchain style way of doing things it will open the door for crypto currencies to take the market. We are still early in the crytpo world and with so much new tech coming out based on the blockchain its only a matter of time.

They're changing, but we not yet.
Before the average Joe starts using the Blockchain, it needs to be dummed down.
My friend said "I told you that we were going to be a cashless society! The banks and the government will have all the power". And I'm sitting there like "B*tch please!".
They don't even understand the basics, and after my grandpa understands crypto, then we can say it's really something that we can use daily.

In my 2 cents opinion, Shifting from conventional financial system to blockchain technology is inevitable, that's why big giants like FB, google, starbucks, Uber are considering to shift into blockchain technology.

Very informative post and I agree with every aspect of these. Two things that will change drastically is the shipping and real estate industry. Right now there are a couple ICO' out called blockshipping and Fr8network that deal with logistics. Also there is propy and Muifreld investment partners are planning on starting blockchain initiatives. These will be game changers !

It would be more precise to say Steem is DPOS. To answer your question there's no such thing as a 51% attack on DPOS.

There was a debate about ripple being a pseudo-cryptocurrency and it's mostly centralized, though I'm not quite sure about that.
Nonetheless, cryptocurrencies are evidently making waves around the world and I hope this continues to greater heights.

Great news for crypto. It’s taking the worlds currencies over. More and more people are taking fiat money out and exchanging it for crypto. That’s a net gain for crypto considering it wasn’t on the radar of so many until recently.
