Let’s chat about some of the other coins you can buy. Firstly, why did other coins started appearing, and how do you know which coins are good to buy? ·       Don’t buy coins based on hype ·       Determine why you believe in the product, the same way you would invest in the stock exchange ·       Raiblocks has a good real world use as a comparison ·       Always diversify your portfolio ·       There are secrecy coins that a lot of people value as well [6:22] OK so Blockchain is the underlying technology is most of these coins, I’ve heard of a new type of coin called Raiblocks, does this still use Blockchain or what makes it different? ·       Raiblocks use a lattice which is different to Blockchain which takes multiple verification steps. ·       People who are miners will get paid to verify transactions ·       The lattice that Raiblocks uses is a different technology which is complicated ·       Blockchain is an immutable ledger of events which has a strong value proposition [11:31] I always tell people that diversifying is important, from what I understand if your portfolio you’ve managed to diversify your coins. Can you tell our listeners a bit about why they should diversify and give an example? ·       Getting an assortment of the following: ·       Bank backed currencies- e.g. ripple & stellar lumen ·       Traditional cryptocurrency- Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum ·       Cryptotokens- Kucoin shares, CosCoin, B2Btoken ·       Token that gives you access to a platform- Vibe, FunFare, Kimcoin ·       Digital lending platforms- Etherlend ·       You could also put money into an ICO, but they’re just an idea (much higher risk) [19:10] Do you think the days are coming where you will get paid in cryptocurrency? ·       Already happening, in Denmark (don’t quote me) half of your salary can get paid in Crypto [25:17] When the next recession/global financial crisis does happen, do you think cryptocurrency will be adopted instead of gold? ·       Nothing stops people from carrying around their laptop with their tokens inside ·       It’s almost as physical as gold, albeit digital ·       It takes electricity, effort and hardware to make coins ·       It comes down to adoption [28:45] Ok so let’s chat about what to do in a crash – I believe there is a coin called Tether that is linked to the USD? Should people rather move their money into tether instead of liquidating during a crash? ·       You don’t want to liquidate your portfolio, however there is a mass migration in China and a red envelope tradition where you give people money ·       Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) caused people to start selling and a vicious downtrend Sponsors [30:30] Chain of Wealth– Head over to chainofwealth.com/crypto loads of great information to teach you everything about cryptocurrencies.
