My big boss wants us to find a way to use block chain tech somewhere in our info systems. This already a CIO buzzword, like AI. Subscribed
More about validating content and less financials. Thinking system to broker regulated content shared by enterprise and cloud based apps.Yeah, but I bet they call it a distributed ledger.
I wouldn't classify your enthusiasm as dickish.
And I'm also glad you made some money - much better than committing insurance fraud.

I was at the local italian place last night, and the owner started picking my brain about bitcoin.
He wanted to use it to eliminate credit cards, and was interested in the international use without exchange fees.
He also was interested in the investment part - but mostly commerce.

I bought one Ether a month ago. Am I rich now? Can I buy drugs, or something?
I decided on Eth based on some recommendations from some people much more experienced than me. Seems like the most institutional (secure, low volatility) but lower upside. I bought to not totally miss the show and should probably have bought more but $315 seemed like a big enough gambled at the time.
Having a background in accounting and now the alternative investing realm, it's hard for me to really like cryptocurrency in its current format. One of my biggest gripes is there are no market hours for when it's exchanged. It goes 24/7/365 so a true trader is always working. It leaves no time for the market to digest geopolitical news or significant events that could change how to view the market.
Another issue is costody. There aren't any mainstream financial institutions that can custody it like they can with a stock which will hurt it's uptake in the institutional investment community. Can't have a $2B fund with all of its value sitting in cold storage in some 24years old pocket.
The wild ride is fun though!
Lol at Coinbase. When institutions need 100% uptime, tweeting that they're having server trouble isn't going to keep them in the game when a Bank of New York or Northern Trust decides to step in.coinbase actually offers the custody thin

The real play for anyone who missed the first home run, bet on the infrastructure. Just another reason to own Amazon stock: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/coinbase/
