char8··on It's time for us in the tech world to speak out about cryptocurrency
Yes sorry it was a typo. I meant to write:

> I believe Bitcoin is the single biggest innovation driver in the *fin*tech sector right now.

Obviously not the biggest driver in tech; i don't blame you fr laughing at this statement.

char8··on It's time for us in the tech world to speak out about cryptocurrency
Depends on your timeframe.

Yes i've lost a lot of my net worth compared to last month.

Compared to last year, i'm up 3.5x.

That's one of the things i like about using Bitcoin as a savings account, it makes me think more longterm about my finances.

Seems lobsided. Sure Bitcoin suffers from high fees, but it serves well as a savings account. We've also started accepting litecoin payments on our site: I set it up once, and forgot about it. With Paypal it's a never-ending rigamarole.

I've recently closed my bank account, and started using something a bit more up-to-date (Revolut). I believe Bitcoin is the single biggest innovation driver in the tech sector right now.. but sure.. it's a scam.
