Worthless report, way too much indication they did NOT actually study anything.
This one phrase is enough to indicate how WORTHLESS this "report" is.
"Currently, some of the prominent players operating in the global cryptocurrency market are BitFury Group Limited, Microsoft Corporation, Alphapoint Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, and Intel Corporation."
They left out Bitmain and AMD (both of which make a LOT more from cryptocurrency than Nvidia does).
Microsoft has almost NO presence in Cryptocoin at this time.
Never heard OF Alphapoint but they're definitely NOT a "prominent player".
Intel has ZERO presence in cryptocoin other than indirect as a fairly common choice for CPUs to put on motherboards for GPU rigs.
If the rest of their "research" is as shoddy at THAT statement, their report is 100% worthless.
