Yesterday, a discussion about cryptocurrencies was brought up by their readers in the "Comments" section. Here is the BEST warning about ICOs and cryptocurrencies I have seen to date. Read it carefully:

NOW LISTEN UP FOLKS!   
I will make an exception this time and let you in on the real truth!
If my information is correct, Bitcoin is very different than Etherium, because Bitcoin is based solely on a complex yet straightforward data structure. Etherium, on the other hand is reliant upon a PLATFORM. I think that perhaps everyone who uses Etherium needs to have this platform, which is a standardized computer program, on their machine. Probably most computer science professors would tell you that data, as in data structures, eg. text, are fundamentally the same thing as machine instruction files, i.e. programs. They are dead wrong. In order to transform a data structure into a computer program, you must have a large, complex "compiler" program, and yes, compiler programs are very special PLATFORMS.
Bitcoin is a giant encrypted data structure, like a vast text file. Any good programmer could write a bespoke program to "read" it. Etherium is itself a vast encrypted program which cannot be "re-written". Therefore every flaw and security hole in it is baked in forever. It is itself a PLATFORM. It can be "patched" if you wish to trust the patch developers. Here are some other platforms: Microsoft Windows; the JAVA Engine, needed to run Java programs; Macromedia Flash Media Player; Chrome web browser, etc. What do they all have in common? They have endless flaws and security holes, and since they are monocultural platforms and everybody has one, if a black hacker, or the GOVERNMENT owns a "zero-day" security hole, THEY OWN YOU.
Remember: No one has ever been able to use a plain text file to distribute viruses. Not once. Microsoft Word documents contain embedded computer programs, in the same fashion that non-static web pages contain embedded JavaScript programs. So of course Microsoft Word documents and web pages have been black hacked countless times.
BEWARE OF CRYPTO-CURRENCIES THAT ARE BASED ON PLATFORMS!

The little sleeper cryptocurrency coin we forgot about.

Some time ago, we bought Pandacoin (PND), maybe we mentioned it once before. But, in all the hub-bub about the fiat markets collapsing and bankers' rigging schemes, we focused mainly on Bitcoin and Electroneum as solid long term investments. So, while there's a little break in the action, now might be a good time to consider this little sleeper that no one is talking about. Why do we like Pandacoin (PND)? Because we like the goal of mass adoption like Electroneum is doing, and that goal got out attention. We found some information on BitScreener about Pandacoin (PND) that surprised us, and maybe it will also surprise you. You see, the founder and principal behind PandaCoin is the same gentleman behind Dogecoin(DOGE).  Here's the BitScreener Link for Pandacoin(PND). Here's the Pandacoin(PND) website. Here's Pandacoin's 2018 road map! Pay attention to their material where they mention "mass adoption". Granted, Pandacoin may not become as big as...
