briceb8e··on $185M in 5 days: Block.one sets new ICO record with its EOS token
Wait, if everything is inflated, then really, everything is actually in balance? But ok, so if most things are inflated, then what has proper value or is under valuated?

Subject being blockchain, I'm pretty sure Ethereum, Augur & MakerDAO are ones of those few rare under-valuated assets. Disclosure: I might own a few coins of each.

briceb8e··on What are truly anonymous cryptocurrencies? Dash, monero zcash Bitcoin ethereum?
zcash, specifically when using the z-addr and not the t-addr sending method, can provide guaranteed anonymity. Others generally provide anonymity through obfuscation, which isn't "ideal".

Not to say zcash is perfect and alternatives are imperfect. There are pros and cons to each.

Couldn't Blockchain technologies along with big open source projects become a great source of big data? Ideally used with open-source projects. I'm thinking Augur for one but a lot of projects connected to the Ethereum network feels they could be great source of data that can be analyzed.

I agree right now big data centralisation is a problem indeed, but I don't believe it will last. I mean, those big companies will remain but Blockchain tech is fairly likely to take a big spot in there with them, I believe.

Great to make it look like someone took the time to do a bio about you because you're important, while it's just you writing. Lack of self-confidence if you ask me.
