Hi,
I worked in the computer programming arena for 37 years. And the one thing I know is that software is 'malleable'. No matter what its original purpose was, it can be changed.
Normally, those changes are for the better. A way to take a product and move it with the market.
Currently, Crypto-Currencies have 'noble' purposes, but since it is a set of programs, they will be changed and those ideals will give way to something else.
Gamble if you want, but don't depend upon Crypto-Currencies for long term wealth management.
My opinion... AraiBob
