RE: Alt-News #6: Visa, IBM, Microsoft and USAA looking for ETH devs / HP joins Ethereum Enterprise Alliance / Venezuelan Bolivar worth half as much as WoW gold

in #altnews7 years ago

Venezuela's currency - the bolivar - is now worth less than the virtual in-game gold in the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft

Holy hell - that is insane, especially for a country that was riding an oil high less than five years ago.

Major companies looking for crypto related employees is pretty wild too - good wild mostly. They really will follow profit, wherever it leads. My only concern would be that the more widespread the adoption of various cryptocurrencies becomes, the harder hit people/society will be during the next (inevitable?) downturn.

I would bet mass adoption fuels an even more epic bubble, at least at first.
