There's blood in the streets, a hella lotta bodies out here. The scaling debate has shaken the crypto economy to it's core. Ok, I'm being dramatic, which is the point of this post. If you actually believe in the fundamental ideas behind a decentralized online economy, now is a great time to start participating, even in a small way. Not all altcoins are created equally. Some are gaming trade tokens, some represent an opaque interest in the startup or project it was spawned from, and some are just awesome because... boats, pot, social welfare or what have you. This is still a relatively new phenomenon but the ideas behind it are sound and in one way or another will shape the future of the burgeoning world online economy. The politcal battle hasn't even begun. Remember what Ghandi said when asked about the proliferation of digital currencies? "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." I'm almost certain that happened. Cheers and hold on tight!
