Hello Steemians!
Recently VISA announced that they were hiring a blockchain engineer, blockchain being the system that cryptocurrencies are based on. The post goes on to suggest that VISA will be working on either creating their own currency or linking existing cryptocurrency's with their own. You can find out more here http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-24/visa-hiring-ethereum-blockchain-engineer.
Not only that but CNBC recently released an article on how to buy Bitcoin/Ethereum. Which is actually pretty solid guide http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/24/how-to-buy-bitcoin-ethereum.html.
Finally for you Miners out there Sapphire has announced they are making a new Graphics card solely for mining! http://www.pcgamer.com/sapphire-is-first-to-market-with-graphics-cards-specific-for-mining/.
These articles combined seem to show that the mainstream world is starting to become not only more aware of Cryptocurrency but also more accepting of them. While Cryptocurrency isn't mainstream yet these articles suggest that we are at the ground floor. Can you imagine how much the main coins will rise once the general public is aware?
