Instead of such a knee-jerk reaction to crypto, perhaps you can ask if the crypto token involved makes sense in this use case. If it doesn't, like in 99% of the cases, you can dismiss it then. Colony, IMHO, is one of the few projects w

A big problem with this strategy is that presumably you're buying the coins after they've had a huge run-up and gone into the top 50. Since you aren't doing any type of research into the coins, they are quite likely to be jus

I am curious to know what types of "big big risk" POS presents. As far as I can tell, there are several POS cryptocurrencies today and they seem to work fine. The Ethereum team claims to modify their POS approach to avoid known is
