Until very recently I thought similarly to those people about cryptocurrencies (I didn't even know that term! I had only heard of Bitcoin). Then I started researching avidly and becoming completely enamoured with the entire world. Having only been a stock investor to start, this whole concept of betting on the rise of an enirely new monitary system and completely new way of exchanging worth through technology has been challenging the way I grew up thinking about the world. We are at the forefront of the wheel being reinvented- or to ammend, we are the first spoke on an entirely new kind of wheel being formed. A non-corporeal tool that is at once currency and a pact between people who believe in the future. I can't wait to see how we terraform this new world!

Lockeed Martin just adoped blockchain technology for their own internal uses, so I would imagine we are at the cusp of an internet-like revolution. Many people distrusted the internet in the early days, had trouble grasping it, and it was indeed used for criminal activity (as it still is). But so are cars and smartphones, and we can no longer imagine a world without them.

So, a toast to the future!
