I too would like to know

It is silly. A few days ago it was $1400 now it is $1800... If I was playing with £10k I would now have just under £5k in profit. I imagine this is why all other currencies are going down at the moment, BTC going up too fast. Will hit the $2k mark in no time.

In may^^^

You'd have a cool 6 figure sum if you put 10k in then drei

Recently read a news where JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon thinks that Bitcoin might not end up well but on the other hand, one of his top strategists claim that bitcoin futures could turn cryptocurrencies into an emerging asset class. Wonder if indeed cryptocurrencies become the future, how everything will work since we are so used to paper money.

I'm seeing a double top on bitcoin forming. A correction to $8k is looking more and more likely, IMO.

Regarding future value of bitcoin - $25k in the first quarter 2018 is my prediction.

Jaxx can hold multiple coins.

DYOR of course.

A researcher from Vx Labs highlighted the problem Friday, saying they had “successfully” tested the vulnerability and seen that it worked.

“Even when your Jaxx has a security PIN configured, anyone with 20 seconds of (network) access to your PC can extract your 12 word backup phrase and copy it down,” the report reveals. “Jaxx does not have to be running for this to happen.”

Nonetheless, Nilang Vyas, CTO of Jaxx & Decentral, said on Reddit there were no plans to alter the wallet’s security setup.

“We are very comfortable with this security model for hotwallets,” he wrote.

“The fact is there will always be tradeoffs between user experience, portability and security and we believe we’ve struck a great balance.”

Vx meanwhile “strongly recommended” users “avoid” Jaxx in future.

Quiet.

New asset class, which got exactly no assets behind them.

Pigs could fly too.

For currency transfers, micro-payments, the un-banked - it'll find it's place with FIAT is just too expensive.
Don't think blockchain will be limited to currency, however. There's a number of blockchains that'll transform how the internet is used. Internet Mk II if you will. From cloud storage across distributed computers to folks renting out their spare processing time for cloud processing.. endless possibilities. Blockchain is going to bring individuals across the globe new opportunities without middlemen. Governments hate it.
