I'm still staying with Bitcoin as I think ethereum has more risk than people realize if ICO's are attacked by regulators.

Now at days we are getting huge amount of hacker activity in the online industry so everyone should take their safe measures to be safe.

Thanks for sharing this informative links with us.

wow this is a great post.
thank you D:] @boxmining for your writing.

I think regulating ICOs is good. It's harder and harder to find a valuable ICO nowadays.

Hey Boxmining, thanks for the articles! What do you think about "Crypto Mining Companies will consume more energy than households in 2018"? Do you think this is a topic which can have a big (negative) impact on the evolution of the blockchain-technology and the markets as a whole? Or isn't this something to worry about and will this all be solved with the transition from POW to POS by BTC and ETH?

Good job...

Cool! More things to read when going to bed! Blockchain completes my life 😂
