Believe it or not, once upon a time investors made decisions past faux white papers and moon/lambo memes. I’m a large proponent of adopting cryptocurrency and blockchain projects for their actual usage – rarely for speculation or hodling. In general, rampant speculation drowns out meaningful education.

Read MoreJohn McAfee thinks it’s time for Jamie Dimon to surrender.
In the face of ever-increasing adoption, expanded mining activity and a new period of rising prices, McAfee clearly believes that Dimon’s efforts to kill off Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency movement have failed.

McAfee took to Twitter with strong words for the JP Morgan Chase CEO: To Jamie Dimon: As the brains of the Banking/Government plot to end crypto, you lied. You took our credit…
