Uplatio sam prije par sati, sad kažeš da sam mogao doć mukte. Nije fer.

Zar niste mogli prvi dan počet u 10:00 da se ljudi malo aklimatiziraju na Split.

Izabrao sam poslovnu radionicu kod Luke Klancira? Jesam se zeznuo? Inače sam programer ali me zanima taj dio, veza banaka, platnog sustava i budućnost financija.

Kod registracije sam izabrao riblji menu ali ako dobijem frigane srdele uzet ću piletinu.

Edit, moje predznanje je ovo:

Od korica do korica, skoro

Uvod pa još malo

Do pola

If you think you're invested there's a few experts dedicating their time and energy on future books about the cryptos bears love to hate https://www.amazon.com/dp/1260026671/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1490913646&sr=8-6&keywords=bitcoin+and+beyond

Invest an evening or two reading this for a solid overview: https://www.amazon.com/Cryptoassets-Innovative-Investors-Bitcoin-Beyond/dp/1260026671

Huh?

Satoshi created the blockchain whilst creating Bitcoin.

Bitcoin (and others) are commonly referred to as cryptocurrencies, or cryptoassets, or simply just 'crypto'.

So you do now agree that it was Satoshi who created the blockchain, and that Bitcoin was the first implementation, and that basically every single large tech, finance or accounting institution is involved in crypto in some way now? Whether they are looking to open up crypto trading, or use blockchain technology?

Fred Wilson recommended this one today in his VC blog. He's big into crypto.

Definitely invest. Always remember that your money should be working for you at all times, if you're not getting a 4-7% apr minimum, don't have your money in it, barring emergency funds.

I always recommend 1-10% into cryptocurrencies, depending on your risk tolerance. A lot of people who know nothing about cryptocurrencies have a knee-jerk reaction to it that results in downvotes in this sub, but for those people, there's a book you should read so that you can at least downvote intelligently. cryptoassets. Though I'd expect you to sing a different tune after, it definitely explains crypto in a way that people can understand.

That presupposes I'm interested in convincing you. You know it's funny, while your post inspired my initial response the reason I laid it out with the challenge at the end was to see if this community (well known as staunchly anti-crypto) could lay forth a convincing argument about why it would be wrong or why I should pull my money out. Perhaps something about the limitations of the technology, discussion of the effect of a recession or a potential black swan event I hadn't considered that showed someone had actually taken an objective look at the value proposition of bitcoin/cryptos and said I can't possibly add this to my portfolio. Instead what I mostly see are tired outdated talking points about crypto and ideology (index funds > all) of FI as outlined by people like MMM. There's nothing wrong with the principle tenets of FI and I follow them very closely but I also actively look at my portfolio to see how it can be enhanced or diversified through various investment instruments with varying levels of risk. Your OP represented to me that this sub would rather just not think about anything other than 3 fund portfolio index funds. Perhaps that's fine for the average person but I can't help but take a critical eye to everything I do with my money to maximize return while minimizing risk. Hence why I think bitcoin/crypto is worthy of discussion in this forum and further why I think it should be part of your portfolio (however small that may be). In any case, I find it humorous because we're coming from opposite ends where you say my argument is the 'least shitty' while I look at the likely thousands of people who have entered this topic and not one could provide a definitive argument of why my challenge is wrong or why I should not invest. It's almost disappointing that some of the smartest people on the planet gathered into this community with incredible foresight and outside the box thinking toward FI could not come up with something better.
You in particular have offered less than nothing, implicitly agreeing that I am correct with my challenge and even outright trying to misinterpret the spirit of the question to somehow turn it against me. Sad, really but that's the state of things. Many will come around to this space when it's too late or not at all but I suppose that is their loss, not mine.


In any case, if I were to indulge your supposed good faith inquiry as to why you should invest in bitcoin or otherwise, I would start by reading the white papers for Bitcoin and Ethereum. It will help you understand the first generation of a public blockchain as compared to the second generation which offers greater versatility than a simple digital distributed ledger.


A good book to read on why cryptos are a good investment would be the one I linked below. They highlight a lot of why an uncorrelated asset like bitcoin, despite the risk and volatility, actually reduces the risk of your overall portfolio.


If you're interested in a professional trader's opinion, I would check out this video by Bob Loukas on the "bitcoin cycle". He specializes in asset bubbles and believes bitcoin operates like an emerging asset going through several cycles as adoption increases. It's tied to the economic policy built into bitocin via the halvening, cutting supply issuance in half per block every 4 years.

Here's another interesting article for the case of a small allocation of bitcoin.

Searching youtube for Andreas Antonopoulos, he talks a lot more theory about why bitcoin is revolutionary.



There are other resources of course but frankly I think we are wasting key strokes on one another. It is quite likely one of us will be thoroughly embarrassed in the next few years and I really don't think it will be me.

I just got done reading Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond. It was fantastic. It went into all sorts of discussions about the various phases that assets grow through; how speculation, volatility, and price discovery all evolve together; different ways to categorize crypto assets; how to think about crypto assets as part of a larger portfolio; red flags that have proven true; and similarities/differences when doing either fundamental or technical analysis when compared with more traditional assets.

It is still a good time to invest, but only the amount you can afford to lose. A good read is

I'm currently working my way through Chris Burniske's new book Cryptoassets, which I'd highly recommend:

Edit: Really? Downvoting a book? I get that some of you don’t like bitcoin but come on, that’s ridiculous.

This is a good book to get the basics down.

It took me months before I felt like I actually understood it though. I've personally never come across a single person who understood blockchain/crypto enough to speak intelligently about it's intricacies but despite that still thought there was no place for it in the future. The hardest thing to wrap your mind around is how it isn't just a digitized version of traditional assets, yet it's hard to discuss with those unfamiliar with it without making comparisons to equities, commodities or currencies. But it doesn't quite fit into any of those boxes.

Anyway, that's a really good book to give you a broad overview. Then you can decide for yourself if you think they're the future or not. FWIW, I decided they were a few years ago and needless to say I do not regret making that decision.
