If it is planned thing binance will fall.

For faster and cheaper I'll be looking at cardano, stellar and ripple. Ethereum block mining is somewhere in the region of 12s per block while the others are 2-3 seconds per block.

That is great news. Maybe my predictions for the price at the end of the year were little conservative given the news we are hearing in the last few weeks.

It is way better than 'go'. I don't know if you have seen the "smart contracts" of hyperledger in their private networks but for something which you will write in solidity with maybe 30 lines code, with go there will be atleast 300 lines. And big positive in solidity is the close syntax relatively speaking to js and c#.

If you have a good background in c#, java or javascript, solidity can be learned for week at the most. The language is very simple, it is used only for the smart contract and big part of the code for the apps (let say wallet, interactions with the blockchain, making the website or even apps like cryptokitties) are written in javascript and of course you can always use nuget packages (like nethereum) and write in c# which for me is the most intuitive language with maybe the best ide.


pp. i hate "go" and by default hyperledger and the private blockchains but for me this is the future for the big corporations and the governments, while the eth blockchain will remain for relatively small projects.

I'm wary of IOTA. The idea is good and maybe in the future I would invest in IOTA, but at the moment for me this is just a coin with interesting potential which can go belly up at any moment or if there are no big problems the price most likely will remain stable so I don's see big potential for growth in the next six to twelve months.
Big problem for the blockchain is the tangle technology itself. You can imagine it like river stream and all nodes conect with some node downstream and at the final there is this trusted super node (the head quarters of IOTA with their servers). Which makes the blockchain centralized and I don't expect growth in the coin before the devs find solution to this problem.

It is one think to control what is happening with project and where it is going and it is altogether different to control 63% of the coins with the means to flood the market with coins. Just imagine what will happen with the price if tomorrow the owners sell 1 bln coins.

Ripple is making shockwaves. There's gonna be earthquakes and tsunamis. Buy now and make big profits. $100 before December 2018.
I just got a hunch, $100 by September.

For us to see $100 per coin it will mean that the market price of ripple is some 30 times the market price of bitcoin at $10 000 or in other words to have a parity of ripple and bitcoin with price of $100 for XRP, bitcoin must be at $300 000 per coin.
