@PeterMcCormack Crypto phone makes sense when the majority of people own crypto...unfortunately with many innovations the timing would appear to be off here.
@notsofast Illiquidity and inability to short means smaller coins probably dont have the economic incentive to be attacked. Still, coins using the same algorithm is a massive attack vector.
@CobraBitcoin If Craig, Jihan and Roger disappeared tomorrow, Bitcoin Cash would probably die. Name any three Bitcoin "representatives" and if they disappeared, I doubt Bitcoin would be affected.
@WhatBitcoinDid Good interview! I'm glad you asked original questions, was good to see moments of self reflection from Roger. I agree with you that he'd actually better achieve his goals if he stopped the attacking and focused on his own chain. Ignore the haters and keep up the good work!
@WhatBitcoinDid Ontology had a 1,000 ONT airdrop, worth about $9k at the moment and will probably be a lot more in coming months/years :D...but they're a solid project, didn't have a public ICO and didn't need any more promotion so I agree with your comments.
@cryptomanran Fun game: Start with $1 on 1 Jan 17, what's the largest year-end portfolio value with only FIVE trades? This gets you $49.6 million:
1) 1 Jan: Buy $DCR
2) 24 Apr: Sell $DCR for $NEO
3) 16 Aug: Sell $NEO for $VTC
4) 1 Nov: Sell $VTC for $EMC2
5) 6 Dec: Sell $EMC2 for $XRP
@JamieSkella Here's an article by @eiaine which contains links to research/analysis on the matter:

@JamieSkella Exactly this. Most people that bring this up fail to consider what bitcoin could replace and the benefits that bitcoin provide in securing a network... In which case I tell them that flying planes and taking overseas holidays is bad for the environment too.
@needacoin How much of it do you think is due to newbies buying up what they perceive as "cheaper" cryptos? Over $1b trading volume is on GDAX. Top volume for ETH is coming from GDAX too.
