Here is one of my favorite economists Peter Schiff debating Erik Voorhees.
The resolution of the debate is:
"Whether BTC or other Cryptocurrency will eventually replace the government fiat currency as a preferred medium of exchange?"
I've only picked up some main points but I would recommend everyone to watch it as both sides did very well.
02:08-13:36 Erik Voorhees
- Why BTC is a good money
Erik states that BTC is a superior form of money and it is in its own league.
The reasons mentioned are:
- BTC is proveably scarce- there’re only 21 million of them and can never be more. Yet, while scarce BTC is easily divisible. One BTC can be cut to 100million pieces and recombined at will. BTC supply is also known.
- BTC is also durable- backed up by thousands of computers around the world.
- BTC is fungible- each BTC is worth the same as every other and it is recognizable. Every BTC wallet can attest whether BTC is legitimate. It cannot be counterfeited.
- BTC is highly portable and the only money today that can be moved at distance without trusting a third party.
- Programmability, which like Erik argues, one day it will be seen as critical for good money. BTC can be programmed to enable all kinds of economic activity often without a middleman or human arbitration of any kind.
1.2 Why Fiat is bad money.
Erik here makes lots of joking comments. Claims that every observer should know that fiat money is an absolute scam and something altogether inappropriate for an ethical market-based society. He says that we cannot have a free market when the most important good- money itself, is centrally planned and controlled. He says that Fiat and a market economy are mutually exclusive concepts. - Fiat is systematically created out of thin air with no limit on supply nor can supply even be known.
- Fiat will last so long as your bank permits and even then it slowly loses its value.
- With Fiat, we’re dependent on a third party with your wealth.
- Fiat isn’t as portable as BTC.
- He says that Fiat functions only on traditional momentum.
He further goes on about the problem with gold…
1.3 Why BTC win?
BTC will win because there is now competition in money and BTC is the best available. Because it’s decentralized it cannot be stopped
13:50-26:06 Peter Schiff
Both of the speakers agree with each other that Fiat is going to fail, Peter just doesn’t believe that the future is BTC. - Explains that legitimate currency is backed by real money. In the case of the US dollar that was gold. So dollars were just more convenient way of transacting in gold.
- He argues that BTC is replicating the properties of gold except for the most important one- the metal itself, the rare, scarce element that has been valued as a commodity for thousands of years.
- There’s no reference point for BTC, never had any value other than as a medium of exchange.
- He argues that BTC is not scarce because BTC can be forked off as many times as someone wants. He says that some cryptocurrencies are already better and faster than BTC
- Important functions of money are that it has to be a reliable store of value, not just a medium of exchange. BTC can do that but it’s inefficient because of its volatility.
- There’s no certainty as to BTC value, we have no idea what BTC is going to be worth in the future.
- He says that government can introduce a regulation which ultimately will outlaw the use of BTC.
- Peter claims that replacing fiat currency with fiat digital currency is not an improvement- it is still a fiat. And goes on that the only thing that gives BTC value is confidence that it will become money. That’s the same thing that gives the dollar value, except with the dollar you’ve legal tender and the whole banking system and society that is built around it. Right now people are interested in BTC because they think they’re gonna get rich.
- He says that no BTC and any other cryptocurrency is capable of becoming money. He goes on and states that the future of money is gold and if gold is going to be digitized- cryptocurrency backed by gold- real money, that’s the only way it can succeed.
26:30-32:40 Erik:
-Erik answers Peter’s accusations that BTC has no intrinsic value.
He claims that nothing has intrinsic value because the value has to be subjective in the eyes of the valuer and continues that before there were human species gold had no value. Value is subjective and it comes from when the person doing the valuation finds good reason or purpose to use.
BTC intrinsic value comes from its payment network. The payment network is the only way we can send transactions in a decentralized way that no one can stop it between people no matter where they are, it cannot be censured and it’s cheap. - Next, he answers the volatility problem.
He admits that current BTC volatility is a problem today but explains that it is not intrinsic. Volatility happens when a market is trying to find its value. He says that in 2011 volatility was much higher than it is today. In his view the problem with volatility is self-correcting. - Furthermore, he takes on the argument of multiple coins as an inflation problem.
He explains that you can copy the code but you cannot copy the network and hash power of the miners and infrastructure of all the wallets and companies that operate on the BTC network and finally you cannot copy the brand and status that BTC has earned. - In the end, he comments on Peter’s suggestion that gold is the way to have a modern society based on honest money. He argues that it is not practical for commerce unless you trust some counterparty. He continues by saying that government won’t allow something to compete with their form of value if they can stop it. So it has to be decentralized, otherwise, we won’t ever have a free market financial system because governments will not allow it. He says that time has changed even though the principle of money haven’t the form of money that works the best in today's economy might have changed.
Peter 33:00 - Peter gets back to the argument about the government shutting down a competition, he gives an example of Federal Express. (Side note here… Airbnb in Edinburgh, Scotland is going to be heavily regulated from the next year as it became too big and Hotels lost millions of pound during this year Fringe Festival). Also says that BTC can be an easy target as there’s no much anonymity, therefore, it could be easy to control.
- Peter gets back to the argument that BTC supply is known and argues that the price of anything is a function of supply and demand and as long as demand is rising prices will go up. So the problem is what happens when the demand goes away? He says that people are not interested in BTC they only want things that they can buy for it. He says that when the bubble is going to burst there’s not going to be demand for it we’re gonna be left with a massive supply and the whole thing is going to implode.
- About intrinsic value:
Peter disagrees that nothing has intrinsic value. What he refers to is what you can do with the money absent its utilization as a medium of exchange or store of value. He says that there are things that you can actually do with gold and there is no other good substitute because they don’t share the properties of the gold. His point on the lack of intrinsic value is that there’s nothing that you can do with BTC- if you don’t have somebody who wants it, there’s absolutely no demand for it. He claims that at any time something better can come and replace BTC like it happened with other networks like MySpace replaced by FB. With all the technology that we have today, it is almost certain that something better can be invented.
44:00-1:11:16 Q&A
They got a bit lose and some of the questions are a bit uneducated but still, their answers are great so worth to watch it too. Further, they turn it into a discussion and they elaborate on some of the points mentioned earlier.
1:11:20- 1:21:20 Zipping up
Both, Peter and Erik agree on the fact that fiat currency is going to collapse. They, however, disagree on what is going to come next. Peter stated that we’re going to have to go back to the Gold Standard, Erik claims we’re going to proceed to the BTC Standard era.

I have noticed WAN is not talked about much in CCT. So I decided to shed some light on the potential of WAN.
It was released on exchanges in extreme bear market and despite that it peaked to $10 straight after ICO in first month of release. Its been in consolidation mode and currently hovering around $1.5. With a limited supply of just 106M and cap of $145M, coin position #45 has potential to 8x at just market cap of 1B (zcash level). It's one of the best infrastructure coin available. It will be easily top 20 coin making it x10.
Staking, crosschain and master nodes coming soon and Integration with Ethereum, Multi-Coin Wallet releasing next month.
It has smart contracts, and privacy transactions as well making it a unique package in this low market cap.
DYOR and grab some before it starts flying again to new highs.
Disclosure, I sold My ICO WAN coins at $9 and now have started buying again. My strategy is dollar cost average it all the way down until it starts rocketing.
James David
What do guys believe Bitcoin price will be near Christmas. Remember last year we were all 'talking' about 10K but that seemed very hard. What about this year?
Poll Results:
20-30k - 39%
10-15k - 36%
30k+ - 18%
~8k - 14%
4k - 5%
My advise, start taking long positions, beforw it's too late. This is still a good price to get in or close shorts. Look at bigger perspective. We are in September already, December is just 3 months away. There are high chances that we are gonna see another Bitcoin Bull Run to a new ATH.
Also consider putting some $$ in $WAN and $NEO. Both have potential to give amazing multipliers.
Tiago Oakley
last year it was in a bullish pattern in short, this year it's in a bearish pattern in the same term, very different
Andreas Pielmeier
My guess, we goin sideways over next months, like we did some years ago.

Dash Sees Over 400 "Siblings" Built on Masternode Protocol - coinness.com
by JoeyBran
Citing data from an explorer, over 400 cryptocurrencies use the Masternode protocol, the most famous of which perhaps is Dash. Masternode is a variation on Proof-of-Stake mining. With Masternode, a user must stake a large amount of coins and they receive significant profits in the long term, in exchange for their Masternode helping to run the network.

dash vs XLM
by hushabuba
My apologies if this has already been addressed, but after doing more research into dash and XLM, they both seem to have similar purposes. Why would dash be the better form of "e-money"?
Amhaas22
No xlm is more a competitor of ripple. Dash comps are more bch and ltc
kanuuker
How does XLM compare to Dash? I thought XLM was like Ripple, aka an over glorified fiat exchange using blockchain tech to extend the lifespan of the entirely corrupted fiat money system? Dash is the exact opposite - it's designed to supplant the fiat system and rip the power away from the banksters and government and give it back to the people.

How to Stake your Tokens for Security & Voting
by eos-asia
Original guide: https://www.myeoskit.com/#/guides/how-to-stake-tokens
WHAT DO "STAKE" AND "UNSTAKE" MEAN?
When you stake your EOS, you're "parking" your tokens. Your tokens will not be accessible until you decide to unstakethem. Staking is essential in EOS because it grants your account resources (CPU and NET) that are required to perform any actions on the blockchain. When you stake for bandwidth, you will be allowed to send more transactions in a period of time, as the size of transaction consumes bandwidth.
To use the network, an average user will only need to have 1 or 2 EOS staked. However, the amount of EOS staked is also your voting power. Only staked tokens contribute to voting power when you vote for Block Producers.
When you decide to have your EOS in "movable" form, you will have to go through the unstaking process. Once you unstake the tokens, you will have to wait three days for those tokens to be transferred from your staked balance to your unstaked balance, at which point you can transfer them at will.

Any chance wallets start integrating decentralized exchanges?

It'll be nice to have some decentralized exchanges built-in on some EOS wallets.
cryptomonicachick
Bancor is working on cross-chain communication with EOS, so soon you will be able to convert any EOS and ETH token within the exchange and store it in your own wallet.

When and what dApps are we expecting to be launched from Block.one. what are your expectations?
We have seen more output from third parties than from block.one itself.

This process CANNOT be RUSHED. Have faith in Block.one, Dan Larimer & the EOS Community. EOS.io was successfully launched, slapped upside the head, those that called EOS a scam, EOS is in FACT the only Blockchain Platform that SCALES beyond...... What more to say. All ducks are in order, and execute they WILL.

Updates about parallel execution on EOS?
by stop-making-accounts
BlockOne's roadmap mentions that Parallel optimization shall be worked on during Summer/Fall 2018. Are there any official updates about the progress or about how this will be implemented?
bitgalaxy
Also very interested. I don't think EOS becomes a true enterprise-level competitor until multithreading is a feature. The use cases right now are limited by performance and a single thread of execution
Chamith888
How come this coding not included in the v1 release ?
Bobby_555
Good thing happen with time, At this level TPS is not issue we are ahead of game..i believe there are DAPPS B1 is mostly working on (STEEM2.0 and Bitshare2.0 ) to bring and vertical scaling as demand grows.
rent24_primary
Parallelism is hard, especially when you need things to be deterministic while accessing shared data. Fortunately, there are solutions available and design patterns proven by those who design GPUs and computer graphics algorithms. But i hope they will soon make some announcements.

EOS resource rental price and cost after REX launch
by huntahjw
Does anyone have any ideas on the rental prices and subsequent resource costs for RAM and CPU after the REX goes live?
holtfox
Great question
My team is developing a dapp right now. We just finished an exercise to attempt to understand the number of tokens we need to stake to run our dapp.
I expect that a vast number of EOS holders will want to earn residual income from their tokens which will drive initial rental prices to be very low. However, the low rental prices could drive the cost of RAM and CPU higher.
We initially thought we would have high upfront capital cost to purchase the EOS required to run the dapp and meager ongoing operational costs.
We are now preparing for the possibility to have higher operational costs.
www.mymex.io
Ante1308
There would be huge demand for renting price maybe would go down at start of renting but later there will not be enough eos for rent and price will go up

MakerDAO system to track other assets?
by ckd001
Since the 1 USD value (DAI) is arbitrary from a mathematical perspective, couldn't the MakerDAO project create any other "tracker" assets (1 Oz Gold, 1 share AMZN, whatever) and have them just be backed by ETH collateral? Is anyone doing or planning to do this? It seems to me that if done right a MakerDAO backed gold token could be more secure than DGX, for example, since DGX gold reserve backing could be seized for legal reasons, while ETH collateral cannot be. Thanks for explanation.
Rune4444
This is coming, and while we don't have a timeline yet it will probably be sooner than people expect.
We'll have everything from stablecoins of different fiat denominations (synthetic fiat, such as Euro-Dai or CNY-Dai), to basically any volatile price feed that there's interest in either going long or short on (synthetic assets, such as synthetic apple stock or synthetic tokens representing stock indices such as the SP500).
Synthetic fiat and synthetic assets will all be backed by Dai as collateral, so it will have the full backing of the highly diversified collateral portfolio backing Dai. It will also be possible to earn the Reward Rate on Dai while it's being used as collateral for synthetic fiat or synthetic assets, so there's a really good synergy between these two features.

Can someone mathematically explain how a pump and dump even works?
by OldJoy
Probably a stupid question but I'm having a hard time grasping the concept. I know the idea is that a bunch of people buy a coin and inflate the price to dump it on new buyers later. But how would that even be financially lucrative for the group? Aren't they just dumping on themselves? How is that even profitable unless they somehow create a ton of artificial demand.
Lambull
These people suck at explaining. I’ll give it a whirl.
First, you buy a ton of a coin which pumps the price from 10 dollars to 50 dollars.
World sees all these gainz. Every one and their grandma FOMOs in. Price now goes from 50 to 80.
You dump your massive load. Price falls from 80 to 40.
(Bought between 10 and 50, sold between 80 - 40)

Exclusive Event Coverage of EOS, Hyperledger, Ethereum [Video]
Latest Blockchain News
Last Thursday’s event, Blockchain Adoption in Business and Enterprise, held at eBay NYC on August 23rd, was one of the best quality events of the year. Organized by BlockchainNYC.org, the largest blockchain group in New York City, it was completely a sold out event with audience members from R3, IBM, Microsoft and more.
While the networking opportunities were phenomenal, the highlight of the event was the stellar panel of speakers from Hyperledger, Consensys/Ethereum, EOS, and BlockchainDriven. Audience members had the opportunity to speak with these insightful leaders of blockchain afterwards, but the real gem was the panel discussion.
Each of the speakers spoke about their respective companies, then moved onto the bulk of the event, discussing blockchain and distributed ledger technologies on an enterprise level. For those who missed it, here’s a full coverage of what these tech giants and what they had to share.

Espresso Team Update: Halfway Through Our First Milestone!
Mathew Cormier
We’ve been working hard on the Datastore and Drive App for the last four weeks and since our first sprint just ended a couple days ago, we thought it would be a good time to post our first Espresso Team update! For some of you who are not familiar with our projects, you can learn more about us and the Aragon Nest program here. So without further ado, here is what we have been up to during the month of August.
What’s New?
Several settings in the Datastore can be modified to customize its behavior, such as the choice of storage provider, the provider’s server information, the encryption algorithms, etc. But up until now, those settings were hardcoded and not actually saved anywhere. It was therefore a priority for the team to store them in the smart contract so users could benefit from them. With this new component in place, it was possible to add this new configuration section to the Drive App.

Infinex is an extremely exciting cryptocurrency project that has infinite possibilities. It began a journey earlier this year and got a significant support from investors and the community. Within a short time frame, Infinex masternode got attention and attract a numerous number of investors. So, why Infinex got overwhelming responses over other cryptocurrencies? What issues are they solving that matter to investors?
Most notably — a decentralized exchange with user-friendly interface and easy access, reducing transaction time and so on. Infinex introducing a monopolistic decentralized network where users will find an exchange, a live streaming platform, cloud gaming apps, social networking site, and a developer-friendly application store. The radical features of Infinex are guaranteed security, privacy, and decentralization. In this article, we will try to make a further rough sketch of the objectives, features, and success of Infinex project with proof of its value and worthiness.
