YES. Thank you! People need to understand that cryptocurrencies COULD become way way bigger than they are if only we work out scaling issues...

I saw you up voted my post "Now For Some Good New:" so I came to look at your blog and up vote your post. Your blog looks great so @anothervoice is now following Batman @canuckpride .

Ether will catch bitcoin one year later ?

On it's current trajectory, that certainly seems possible

However, if BTC can resolve it's upcoming scaling issue in a mostly positive way, I can see it exploding up. Bitcoin is still constructed in a way that I think it is better as a value store, whereas ETH success is very dependent on the success of the "Smart Contract" platform and the companies that try to bring that to the mainline

Great chart.... what does the line through the upvote money mean?

Not looking for any payout on this post. You can select reward style before you post something. I chose to decline payout because I'm just copying in someone elses work and would not feel quite right taking any amount of money for it :)

Had to resteem, this is just too good. You have some really great content!

Thanks @bitcoinbill ! Trying to add valuable info to this wonderful platform :)

...even if that means just borrowing other peoples content, hopefully it allows people to live more and more in the Steem ecosystem to the point that these things become original to this site!

got it thanks!

Was wondering the same thing!
