Some of the world’s richest have been known to make denigrating
remarks on Bitcoin, comments that stem from their natural inclination to defend
their turf, which is fiat. Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank, also known as Mr.
Wonderful, recently joined the long list of Bitcoin bashers, to the
disappointment of many of his fans in the cryptosphere. Squaring off with
Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Digital on Squawk Box on CNBC, O’Leary tore into Bitcoin’s
current bull run.

Kevin dipped into his bag of colorful words, lambasting Bitcoin as a “scam,” “digital game,” and “total BS.” He tried to corner Pompliano by asking him what the value of owning BTC as an asset class was, asking: “Tell me why this, which is basically a digital game, has any intrinsic value. And where is the long-term value? Just this idea that they’re going to cut the number of units in half is just a scam. That’s just total BS…. I think people should understand: today the hot digital is Bitcoin, tomorrow it could be whatever, right?”

But bitcoin (BTC)
is More than Currency

Pompliano took all the jabs like the Bitcoin champ he is, talking
about the recent interest financial institutions are showing BTC. He told
O’Leary,

 “Everything that is new seems different in the beginning. And I think what you have got to realize is that with Bitcoin specifically, money is a belief system. So, the US dollar – the only reason why we use it is we believe it has value. Bitcoin has value because two people who exchange it believe it has that value. And what we’re seeing is the volume. Look at people using it. That’s ultimately what matters.”

Any other crypto user would be content with that Pompliano’s clap
back, but real Bitcoin skin in the game diehards were disappointed that that’s
all Anthony had to say of Bitcoin’s value. One disappointed Bitcoin fan tweeted
to educate O’Leary that “It will be
easy to create the “next Bitcoin,” if Bitcoin was just software, but
it is not. Bitcoin’s network effect includes – Highest quality cryptographers –
Incredibly high hash rate – Best brand recall – Passionate community –
Passionate devs – HODLers of the last resort
.”

It is Standard
Setting

Amongst its many other strengths, Bitcoin’s platform has the
highest hash power of all crypto, which makes almost impermeable to 51 percent
attacks. And who has not heard of the king of crypto?   In truth, most other altcoins ride on the
king of crypto’s coattails, also falling when it does. As vain as popularity in
face value might be, brand recognition can bring success. Bitcoin is globally
recognized and is also very much accessible.

Today, Bitcoin ATMs are popping up all over the place globally,
making it the most accessible cryptocurrency to deal with. The king is also the
industry standard. There are tons of tech experts and innovators around the
world, using the BTC blockchain to build solutions to real-world problems.

Roger Ver, also known as Bitcoin Jesus, turned to the Bitcoin Cash camp claiming that BCH has the correct Satoshi protocol. Not so, if all the issues surrounding it were to be considered. Recently during the BCH network’s upgrade, the platform temporary stalled due to a mem-pool related bug.

The glitch paralyzed the network’s block generating protocol
filling it with 10 empty blocks consecutively. Bitcoin believers say that just
as there has never been a ‘next Linux’ so will there never be a “next Bitcoin”.

Re: 只用了三个小时!iEx.ec跻身ICO史上第五大项目 记者:Lydia 经常关注ICO的朋友们想必一定听说过项目IEx.ec,出自法国的区块链创新企业IEXEC BLOCKCHAIN TECH公司。而说起它,就会让人不禁膜拜起此项目的核心团队,更是一个跨国的团队,在研究和开发方面都富有经验。核心团队主要是来自于法国以及中国的国家计算机研究院的科学家们。IEx.ec不仅有过硬的技术团队把控,更是独特的且受众面广的技术应用。 iEx.ec基于以太坊区块链,搭建了一个虚拟的全球分布式云计算基础设施,目的是实现全球算力整合,将闲置算力提供给有需求的客户。同时,这些分布在各个地方的计算设施,在高性能运算中产生的热能,又能满足市场上各种对热能的需求、达到零排放的绿色计算要求。典型的应用场景是,通过租用廉价计算中心或云计算(Amazon, Google, Azure等)的空闲资源,及更大规模的分布于全球的个人PC 空闲CPU资源,使用 iEx.ec平台,将资源租用给需要资源的个人及中小企业用户使用。而平台的主要盈利来自资源租用价格差以及为高级用户提供计算应用定制服务。 所以,iEx.ec于昨日凌晨达成预期,圆满完成ICO, 仅三个小时就筹集了1200万美元的目标资金。iEx旨在构建世界上首个利用综合用户容量的云端网络,从1200多名投资者处筹集了大约1万个比特币。其代币RLC将成为网络建立后云服务的唯一支付方式。该创业公司筹集资金的闪电速度使iEx.ec跻身ICO史上第五位。 iEx.ec负责人于4月19日发布了ICO圆满结束的推文中,对大家的支持表示感谢! 那么,作为iEx.ec官方授权的专业ICO平台——ICOAGE(http://icoage.com/)也是参与了此次项目,可谓是功不可没。iEx.ec开始ICO时间较晚,从19日21:00开始,ICOAGE工作人员们加班加点,坚持争取到最后关头,认真负责而迅速地助力用户完成ICO, 让有意向的投资人无国界地高度顺畅地参与到整个过程中来。 (ICOAGE是一个为投资者提供全球ICO项目资讯,帮助投资者了解项目,并为全球ICO项目提供完整服务解决方案的平台。无论是对于参与ICO项目的投资者,还是准备进行ICO的项目或初创企业提供完善的一站式解决方案,积累并具备国内外多个ICO项目的经验。)只用了三个小时!iEx.ec跻身ICO史上第五大项目 Gilles Fedak 本次,众筹的成功使iEx打算扩大蓝图,其首席执行官Gilles Fedak表示: “我们现在可以建设去中心化的基础设施和市场,使每个人都能够租用其计算资源,那些设计大数据和HPC应用程序的创新中小企业将能够获得所需资源立即进行在线销售,高价值数据集将以精细的商业模式出租。” (Why?)
