Bitcoin took a nosedive this morning due to some issues with CoinBase. Hopefully its recovery is a hasty one! I think the Ethereum spike we've seen recently is a direct result of EOS announcing that in order to invest in it, it will be requiring an ERC-20 compliant token (e.g. Ethereum).
Oh yeah, welcome aboard! Rob suggested that I follow you. I'm his old roommate/current business partner. Nice to meet ya!
