Not sure if this was ever posted here, but some good food for thought. This is what Mark Cuban replied when he was asked about investing in bitcoin:
https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/403916745900978176"I don't want to invest in bitcoin. If virtual currency becomes acceptable I want to invest in the soon to be invented competitors"That, my friends, is what I think Blackcoin is. The recently invented competitor.
Love this coin!
Bitcoin price on the day of Mr Cuban's comment (22nd Nov 2013) was high of USD 890
today it is USD 495, so if I had listened to Mr Cuban's comments I would have lost over 50% of my investment as of today.
whereas any number of the competitors I could have increased my investments (as I did thanks)
so whats your point?
Before this comment gets deleted like my other post, I am just making an observation for the benefit of people coming here deciding whether to invest after hearing all the hype, like I am.
Mark Cuban said don't invest in bitcoin, so if you followed Mark's advice you actually wouldn't have lost anything because you wouldn't be invested in Bitcoin.
As far as hype... well what do you expect of a new product? Hype is how you sell things that haven't earned a place in society yet. Hype spreads the word about something. Hype is necessary in today's world. Obviously I'm just a speculator so I don't care about hype. Anyways... you made your point, you don't care for blackcoin, well now it seems like your bordering on spamming/trolling. Maybe you should take the hint about your posts getting deleted.
